what is left of King Herod's Temple. Here people go to pray, men and women seperately. Some write down their innermost
on paper and put it in cracks in the ancient temple wall.
The British fleet bombarded Alexandria violently on 11 July 1882 and damaged a large part of the city, especially in the area of the Citadel. This attack cracked the fortress, causing great damage. The north and west facades were severely damaged as a result of cannon explosions, aimed directly at the structure. The western facade was completely destroyed, leaving large gaps in it.
Unfortunately, the Citadel, after this attack, remained neglected, until 1904 when the Ministry of Defence restored the Upper floors. King Farouk wanted to turn the Citadel into a Royal Rest House so he ordered a rapid renovation on it.

"Otra de las razones que hacen del claustro pinatense un monumento sobresaliente es el hecho de que en sus capiteles trabajó, durante la segunda mitad del siglo XII, el celebérrimo Maestro de Agüero o de San Juan de la Peña, un artista anónimo cuya inconfundible maestría es perfectamente apreciable en diferentes edificios religiosos del norte de Aragón y de Navarra, siendo perfectamente reconocible, entre otros rasgos, por su personalísima manera de representar los ojos de los personajes: muy bulbosos y considerablemente desproporcionados".

The Pont du Gard is an ancient Roman aqueduct that crosses the Gardon River near the town of Vers-Pont-du-Gard in southern France.
Next door, the South Theatre was built in the 1st century with a capacity of 5000 spectators. From the upper stalls the acoustics are still wonderful, as demonstrated by the occasional roving minstrel or drummer.

One of the most fascinating aspects of Malta is its ancient history (and I mean really ancient). They left behind magnificent temples, but also figurines - like this one, dated to about 3600-2500 B.C., making it around 5000 years old!
Fascinating as it is, we also have to be honest with that we know precious little about the belief-system behind these things, so it is not known what the purpose behind these small (and large) statues was (offerings? depiction of gods? depiction of people? something else entirely?).
Figurine on display at The National Museum of Archaeology, Valletta, Malta (it's not a very big museum, but worth a visit).
Erechtejon is a four-level temple built on the Athenian Acropolis.
The temple was erected in honor of Erechtheus, one of the first Athenian rulers. The first temple was destroyed during the Persian wars and the present one comes from 421 BC-406 BC. In the 6th century the temple was converted into a Christian church, and then used by the Turks as a harem.
It is the culmination of Ionic architecture in Attica. The whole temple is composed of three interconnected solids, built on a rectangular plan.
The roof of the southern portico (shown in the photo) was based on six caryatids.

Erechtejon to czteropoziomowa świątynia zbudowana na ateńskim Akropolu.
Świątynię wzniesiono na cześć Erechteusza, jednego z pierwszych władców ateńskich. Pierwsza świątynia została zniszczona podczas wojen perskich a obecna pochodzi z 421 p.n.e.–406 p.n.e. W VI wieku świątynię zamieniono na kościół chrześcijański, a następnie używany był przez Turków jako harem.
Jest szczytowym osiągnięciem architektury jońskiej w Attyce. Cała świątynia złożona jest z trzech połączonych ze sobą brył, zbudowanych na planie prostokąta.
