The city is famous for its medieval village located on a steeply falling rocky outcrop; its outer houses form a rampart. Around this historic center, the residential districts extend from the foothills of its puys, to the gorges and the Loup valley. The violet festival contributes to its notoriety!
I haven't been in here much because I've been wallowing in self pity. I was just diagnosed with cancer and it's located in my neck. The doctor is pretty sure it's curable and he has a 5 year plan. In the mean time lots can happen. I'll probably lose about 30 lbs, could lose most of my teeth and could lose the ability to talk. I'll be starting radiation and chemo later this month. It still hasn't completely sunk in and I'm still having trouble talking about it. I'll still be looking at your work but I just may not be contributing as much
This scene would be my description of a perfect site to build a home. Surrounded by mountains, pond, views, and lush green woodlands, all contribute to an idyllic scenery that most would treasure.

When worries overwhelm you and you fade away . . . .
The feeling that you're losing yourself, losing everything that means anything to you. . . . . .
You're crying and desperate and there's nothing left no matter how hard you try . . . .
Hope is lost and you realize that everything you've ever done is meaningless. . . . . .
Do you know this feeling?

Saharan dust events contribute to the aerosol load over Switzerland, mostly during spring and autumn. As a result of strong winds and major turbulence, sand particles from the North African desert region regularly rise up several kilometres into the atmosphere. The largest particles quickly fall back to the ground, but the smaller ones can be transported all the way to the Swiss Alps.

In a biogeographic definition, paramo is any intertropical mountain ecosystem, characterized by shrubby vegetation that generally occurs from altitudes of about 3,000 to 4,000 meters or up to 5,000 meters, that is, in regions above the forest line. continuous but still below the permanent snow line. It is found in East Africa, New Guinea, and Central and South America. However, since in each of these regions this ecosystem has a specific name, when discussing Paramos, we refer specifically to Andean Paramos.
In this strict sense of the term, all Paramos are located in the neotropical zone, mainly in northwestern South America, present in Venezuela, Colombia, Peru and Ecuador. The ecosystem occupies over 30,000 km² of South America and represents 7% of Ecuador's territory. In absolute terms, Colombia is home to 50% of the extent of Paramos (in its three branches of the Andes) and the largest Paramo in the world (Sumapaz).
Paramos' climate is characterized by wide daily fluctuations in temperature and humidity. In general, cold and humid, can undergo a sudden and drastic change in which temperatures fluctuate from below freezing to 30 ° C plus in a daily freeze-thaw cycle. High altitude in tropical locations produces a special, cold, low air density atmosphere that allows for greater dispersion of ultraviolet radiation (light and heat). This climate can be summed up in the phrase "winter every night and summer every day."
In Paramo ecosystems, soils are generally recent, of glacial and volcanic origin, and many are still in formation. Its structure is a combination of organic material that decomposes very slowly in cold weather with volcanic ash. They usually have low pH (acidity) because of the abundance of moisture and high content of organic matter. These characteristics contribute to soil water retention, which in turn is the basis of an essential environmental service: the constant storage and distribution of clean water to lower places.
The largest and most known area is the Páramo grass, which covers large areas of the mountain ranges. It extends from approximately 3,500 to 4,100 m in height, and is mainly composed of grasses and small shrubs.
Fantasy Faire only has a few more days left, so if you haven't gone by, you should! Check out the beautiful sights, and give to a great cause. It's amazing how much work has been put into every last place, and I can promise you can find at least one sim that really speaks to you. If the people themselves don't. Most, including myself, have experienced the effects this miserable disease can have on themselves and loved ones. Strength comes in hope and unity, however, every little step getting us closer to a brighter future, I'm sure of that.
If you want to check out the sims or just support RFL and the awesome creators contributing to the cause, head over to my blog to catch a ride over!

"Man, respect, love and fear God. And remember that you are human. The church was erected from the ground up at the expense of Mina Pap Nikolaou Szampanaki on March 4, 1889".
The first sentence of the inscription is probably part of the poetic / musical tradition of the island, a couplet - religious in this case - with which the musicians composed the "mantinades", songs played in the "panigyri", celebrations that combined religion, entertainment and trade. The second, of course, mentions the donor who contributed to the construction of the temple.

A view looking southwest from the intersection of E. Main and N. Walnut in downtown Champaign. On the corner is the First National Bank Building, a contributing building in the Champaign Downtown Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
The First National Bank, located at 30 E Main Street, is based on a Greek Revival form and features beautiful Corinthian columns and pilasters. Chicago architects, Mundie and Jensen, constructed the building in 1909. The stone-faced historic bank was one of the first steel-constructed buildings in Champaign.
The exterior of the original building has excellent architectural integrity. Interior changes occurred during the middle of the twentieth century in an attempt to modernize. There is an addition to the west and to the south. Both were constructed in 1966, and are non-contributing to the historic district. The First National Bank Building is now the location of a PNC Bank branch office.
Located in Champaign County in east central Illinois, the twin cities of Champaign and Urbana are the home of the University of Illinois. The population of the City of Champaign at the 2020 census was 88,302, while Champaign County had a population of 205,865.

It has been forever since I contributed to fence Friday. Thought I end my hiatus :)
This flaring light was the last time I've seen the refreshing sunshine. It's been dull and grey ever since, minus the snow and lots of rain which is no fun in winter. I hope this trend changes very soon in Toronto because it is very unlike January here.

Saint Michael’s Cathedral of Alba Iulia was built between 1247 and 1291, which makes it contemporary to the famous Notre Dame of Paris. Furthermore, it appears that a great French architect, Villard de Honnecourt, contributed to its design. In addition to being the oldest and the longest cathedral in Romania (at 89.16 m measured along its axis), it is also considered the most important monument of Romanesque architecture in Transylvania.
The site is registered in the National Archaeological Repertory of Romania.

A view looking west on E. Main from N. Market St. in downtown Champaign. The five buildings in this view on the north side of E. Main all contribute to the Champaign Downtown Commercial District listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2020. All were built between 1860 and 1907, and are Italianate and early 20th century commercial designs.
The most prominent building on this block is the four-story building with a center atrium constructed for the Jos. Kuhn & Company in 1907. Jos. Kuhn & Co. is a longtime outpost for men's attire that gradually grew until four of the five buildings in this block were being utilized by the company. Although the company's footprint today is smaller, it is still in business today at the same location.

WHY: Because while we believe that team identities matter, there’s an underlying team that is Relay For Life. That we as the Faire are just one small part of that team, and that our friends are as much a part of what we do as we are of their own efforts. Fairelanders all, Relayers all, we’re coming together to make the best and biggest difference we can together because that spirit of teamwork is how the fight will be won. While our strength as individuals contributes to our strength as teams, it’s from each other’s strength we reach our goals. We are One Team, with One Goal, stronger together than any one person could even dream of being. Together, we are the cure.

The New York Court of Appeals Building, officially referred to as Court of Appeals Hall, is located at the corner of Eagle and Pine streets in central Albany, New York, United States. It is a stone Greek Revival building designed in the mid-19th century by Henry Rector. In 1971 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, one of six buildings housing a state's highest court currently so recognized.[note 1] Seven years later it was included as a contributing property when the Lafayette Park Historic District was listed on the Register.
At the time it was built it was known simply as the State Hall
A view of two beautiful, late-nineteenth century Italianate buildings in the 400 block of Pulaski St, catty-corner from the Logan County Courthouse in downtown Lincoln. Both buildings lie within the Lincoln Courthouse Square Historic District that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
The corner building at 429 Pulaski St. was constructed around 1885 and is a contributing building in the district. The two-part commercial building next to it at 425-427 Pulaski St. dates to 1890. With its cast iron front, second story windows with decorative hood molds and a heavy, metal cornice, the structure is identified as a significant building in the district.
Lincoln is the seat of Logan County, which is situated in central Illinois approximately 26 miles northeast of Springfield, the state capitol. The estimated population of Lincoln in 2018 was 13,685.
Situated on the Guadalupe River in the quickly-growing community of New Braunfels, Gruene (a German surname, (pronounced "Green") is a former German town in Comal County. Once a significant cotton-producing community along the Guadalupe River, the town has now shifted its economy to one supported primarily by tourism. Today Gruene is a district within the city limits of New Braunfels, and much of the former town was listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1975. Gruene is known for its German-Texan heritage and architecture.
My post yesterday looked at the Henry Gruene Family Home, which now is a B&B known as the Gruene Mansion Inn. Today's post focuses on Henry Gruene's mercantile business, the H. D. Gruene General Store, which was erected in 1903 as a place where tenant farmers could buy their wares and do business. Henry Gruene passed in 1920, but the business continued for a few more years until the boll weevil infestation of all U.S. cotton-growing areas in the 1920s sent Gruene on the road toward becoming a virtual ghost town.
Gruene resurgence as a tourist destination began in the 1970s and, in 1986, the Gruene General Store reopened as the Gruene Antique Company. The H. D. Gruene building is a contributing property in the Gruene Historic District on the NRHP.
New Braunfels is the seat of Comal County and has a 2020 census-population of 90,403. A suburb just north of San Antonio, and part of the Greater San Antonio metropolitan area, New Braunfels was the third-fastest-growing city in the United States from 2010-2020.
Wilbur House is a historic home located on Main street in Fairport in Monroe County, New York. It is a Second Empire–style structure built about 1873 that features a two-bay, 2-story tower that projects from the northeast corner of the 1 1⁄2-story front section. The tower, as well as the rest of the front section, is covered by a decorative fish scale and octagonal slate mansard roof. Also on the property is a contributing carriage house.
Hiram P. Wilbur was the superintendent (some say the first such) of the westernmost section of the Erie Canal, and also the postmaster for the town of Perinton.[3] The home he built in 1873 later served as a boarding school before reverting to a private residence. The house is currently 3,792 square feet (352.3 m2) with five bedrooms. Many of the historic details have been retained, including speaking tubes for intra-house communication.
This is one of the ways Camille tells us she is ready to come inside; she appears at one of several windows with a look like this. We think looking in the windows also contributed to her decision to bring her 4 kittens to our door; we caught "that tabby" staring into our house on at least 3 occasions before she came with family in tow.

My previous post showed the east side of the 100 block of N. Walnut St. looking south from Taylor St. This photo looks at the west side of the 100 block of N, Walnut looking north from Chester St. This block is part of the Champaign Downtown Commercial District added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2020.
All of the commercial buildings in this block are Italianate, Early 20th Century Commercial, or remodeled Art Deco designs built between 1895 and 1900, although some of the buildings have been remodeled and do not contribute to the historic district.
The six-story building seen two blocks away on the southwest corner of N. Walnut and E. Main is the east facing side of the The First National Bank. This Greek Revival-style building was erected in 1909, and was one of the first steel-constructed buildings in Champaign. Now a PNC Bank branch, the First National Bank building is featured in two previous posts in this Champaign and Urbana series.

A beautiful Lioness we spotted while on a 2023 photo safari in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania. She stopped her search for prey just long enough to show me those eyes.
In the savannas of Africa, female lions play a crucial and dynamic role in their familial groups, shaping the social structure and bearing the responsibility for the pride’s survival. Contrary to some common misconceptions, lion prides operate within a matriarchal social structure, where females hold the key roles in decision-making and coordination.
Lionesses are the primary hunters within the pride. Their exceptional teamwork and strategic approach to hunting are essential for the pride’s survival and well-being. Together, they deploy strategic hunting techniques, such as coordinated flanking and ambushing, to outwit their prey. Their synchronized efforts increase the likelihood of a successful hunt to secure food for the entire pride.
Male lions are typically responsible for protecting their pride from other males. However, the females play a vital role in defending the pride’s territory against threats such as leopards, hyenas, neighboring prides, and occasionally other males. The survival of a pride often hinges on the lionesses’ ability to protect their territory.
The lionesses’ strong maternal instincts are at the foundation of the pride’s social bonds. As a group, they are responsible for raising and nurturing the cubs. They teach essential survival skills, including hunting techniques and social behaviors, which ensure the continuity of the pride’s legacy. The pride communicates through vocalizations and body language, fostering a strong sense of community. The bonds formed among females contribute to the overall success and stability of the group.
In the lion pride, females emerge as the unsung heroes, weaving together the threads of survival, protection, and legacy. Their role as huntresses, defenders, nurturers, and leaders is integral to the pride’s success.

A view of the east side of the 100 block on N. Kickapoo St. in downtown Lincoln as seen from Broadway St. The properties in this view lie within the Lincoln Courthouse Square Historic District that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
The three buildings in this view are early 20th century commercial designs constructed in the 1910s. On the corner of N. Kickapoo and Broadway St. is the former Lincoln Savings & Building Association Building completed in 1914. The center building appears to be commercial-use only while the building on the end was designed with commercial space on the ground floor and apartments above. All three buildings are contributing properties in the historic district.

This beautiful Queen Anne style house was built in 1894 for Lucius T. & Arabella Bruner. Lucius, a dry goods merchant, was his own contractor and built this house for $5,500. Arabella grew up in the neighborhood and her sister, Clara Cox, lived at the George H. Cox House shown previously in this series.
The Lucius T. & Arabella Bruner House is a contributing property in Bloomington's East Grove Street District. This residential historic district includes 43 houses and apartment buildings, 25 of which are considered contributing buildings. The houses in the district were built between 1855 and 1915 for many of Bloomington's upper middle class residents. Due to a building boom between 1880 and 1900, the then-popular Queen Anne style is the most prevalent in the district. Other popular architectural styles in the district include Greek Revival homes from the 1850s, Italianate homes built between 1860 and 1880, and Arts and Crafts homes built in the 1900s. The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) in 1987.
Bloomington is the seat of McLean County. It is adjacent to Normal, and is the more populous of the two principal municipalities of the Bloomington-Normal metropolitan area. Bloomington is 135 miles (217 km) southwest of Chicago, and 162 miles (261 km) northeast of St. Louis. The estimated population of Bloomington in 2019 was 77,330, with a metro population of 191,067.
A view of the buildings on the north side of Lincoln's historic courthouse square as seen from the steps of the Logan County Courthouse. This view shows the entire 600 Block of Broadway St. All of the properties in this view lie within the Lincoln Courthouse Square Historic District that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
Of the eight buildings shown above, the former Lincoln Savings and Building Association building (c. 1914, Neoclassical) at the corner of Broadway and N. Kickapoo St. (left), and the two-story commercial building at the opposite end of the block (c. 1895, Italianate) at the corner of Broadway and N. McLean St. (right). are contributing properties in the historic district.
The buildings sandwiched between the two ends are a mix of newer mid-century commercial buildings, and older buildings that have been modernized to the extent that their historic architectural antecedents are basically unrecognizable. These buildings are non-contributing properties within the historic district.

Pop Corn Beaches are beaches where the sand has been replaced by a kind of carbonaceous shells that have a morphology and color reminiscent of popcorn. These are calcium carbonate skeletons synthesized by a species of red algae that inhabit the Canary coasts at shallow depths, called rhodoliths.
Rhodoliths occur extensively around the shores of Fuerteventura Island in the Canary Archipelago, with Lithothamnion cf. corallioides being the most prominent species.
It is by the action of the waves, that over the decades, a large number of rhodoliths end up being washed ashore, whose remains contribute to the formation of the sediments that make up the modern beaches, so these unusual beaches have been formed very slowly.
Although rhodoliths are resistant to a variety of environmental disturbances, they can be severely affected by storms, harvesting, ocean acidification and global warming, and the beds are known to be between 20 and 100 meters deep in most parts of the Canary Islands.
Along the beaches there are panels explaining what these "popcorn" are and that their extraction is forbidden, in spite of which the plundering is still very frequent. Unfortunately, every year tourists and locals remove a considerable amount of rhodoliths from the beaches, which represents a threat to these ecosystems, since, as I mentioned before, the remains of dead rhodoliths contribute greatly to the sediments that form contemporary beaches.

The Parish Church of Santo Ildefonso was built in the first half of the 18th century, on the site of a former place of worship, namely, a chapel dedicated to a certain Santo Alifon, historically mentioned for the first time in the late 13th century. The chapel was brought down in 1709 due to its poor state, which gave way to the construction of the present Parish Church of Santo Ildefonso. Most of the construction works were completed in 1730, but it was not until 1739 that the edifice was completely set up and inaugurated .Sundry restoration and modification works were carried out in the course of history, such that at present the Parish Church of Santo Ildefonso is a fine example of the Baroque style brightening up the surroundings of Praca da Batalha with its blue and white ceramic tiles which adorn the facade. Other highlights refer to the mid 18th century retable by Nicolau Nasoni, the Italian architect who also contributed to the design of various parts of the Porto Cathedral and of the Clerigos Tower. Also of note are the two fairly decorated bell towers which flank the facade.

The new Faculty of Science is located as a freestanding building on a prominent site of the Utrecht University campus. Approximately half of the building contains laboratories and the rest provides education and work space on various and open floors, grouped around the central hall. This atrium-like space is directed to the outside in a covered outdoor area with an open classroom, where there is an opportunity of open air events. The 'oval' freestanding building, as an island on this area, is on the border between the inside and outside and provides all opportunities for meetings, which all contribute to social cohesion.

The Elihu Benjamin Washburne House was built for and owned by Elihu Benjamin Washburne, a prominent Galena lawyer who served in Congress during the Civil War, and as Secretary of State and Minister to France under President Ulysses S. Grant, another famous Galenian. Constructed in 1844–45, the Washburne House is an example of late Greek Revival architecture. The house was built in the style of Greek temples and features a 2-story porch with four fluted Doric columns.
The Washburne House is a declared Illinois State Historic Site, and was also listed in 1973 on the National Register of Historic Places. Additionally, the Washburne House is a contributing structure in the Galena Historic District which encompasses 85 percent of the City of Galena and includes more than 800 properties. The Galena Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, with modifications in 2013.
Galena is the seat of Jo Daviess County in the northwest corner of Illinois. This is the unglaciated area of northwestern Illinois. The rolling hills, history and abundant 19th century architecture draws visitors from throughout the country. The estimated population of Galena in 2019 was 3,158.
In this huge open pit in Germany lignite ('Braunkohle') is being gained in order to fulfil our energy needs. One can see the chimneys of the powerplants blazing out the carbondioxe in the air. Burning coal produces lots of carbondioxide and contributes massively to the warming of the planet and changing the climate.
The name of this mining project is Garzweiler, actually the name of the village that has disappeared because of the mining.

Originally operated by Balaban & Katz Corp., the Times Theatre is one of two remaining examples of Art Modeme movie theaters in Rockford. Designed by Edward Paul Lewin and A. Eastman, the Times was built in 1938. At its opening that year, the Times boasted of “up to the minute” acoustical treatments and temperature control, as well as 1,000 seats in the theater that were mothproof and fireproof.
The Times Theatre ceased operation as a movie theater around 1980 and operated as a nightclub and restaurant on and off for a few years. The property is currently vacant. The theater is listed as a contributing property in the West Downtown Rockford Historic District listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Located in northern Illinois, Rockford is the seat of Winnebago County and is the largest city in Illinois outside of the Chicago Metropolitan Area. Rockford had an estimated population of 145,609 as of 2019, with the Rockford Metropolitan Area population standing at 344,623.
Desiderata, which means “things that are desired,” was written by Max Ehrmann “because it counsels those virtues I felt most in need of.”
Max Ehrmann was an American attorney and poet who often wrote on spiritual themes. During his life, he contributed great thoughts to our literary lexicons, blending the magic of words and wisdom with his worthy observations.
Tucked into the northwest corner of Illinois is the City of Galena, a small town known for its well-preserved 19th-century buildings, shopping, dining, entertainment, and an abundance of historic houses and mansions that are now bed and breakfasts. Galena also was the home of Ulysses S. Grant when he was elected the 18th President of the United States in 1868.
On the corner at 201 S. Main St. is the Schmohl Building, an Italian style two-part commercial block built in 1887. Next to it is another Italianate style commercial building whose name has been lost to history that was built in 1848. Nearly every building in this southerly view of the west side of the 200 block of S. Main St. is a contributing property in the Galena Historic District, which encompasses a remarkable 85 percent of the City of Galena and includes more than 800 properties. The Galena Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, with modifications in 2013.
Galena is the seat of Jo Daviess County. This is the un-glaciated area of northwestern Illinois. The rolling hills, history and abundant 19th century architecture draws visitors from throughout the country. The estimated population of Galena in 2019 was 3,158.

The Garden sits nestled in the West Hills of Portland, Oregon overlooking the city and providing a tranquil, urban oasis for locals and travelers alike. Designed in 1963, it encompasses 12 acres with eight separate garden styles, and includes an authentic Japanese Tea House, meandering streams, intimate walkways, and a spectacular view of Mt. Hood. This is a place to discard worldly thoughts and concerns and see oneself as a small but integral part of the universe.
Born out of a hope that the experience of peace can contribute to a long lasting peace. Born out of a belief in the power of cultural exchange. Born out of a belief in the excellence of craft, evidence in the Garden itself and the activities that come from it. Born out of a realization that all of these things are made more real and possible if we honor our connection to nature.
The only work that will ultimately bring any good to any of us is the work of contributing to the healing of the world.

A view of the businesses on the south side of Lincoln's historic courthouse square. This view looks to the east at the 500 block of Pulaski St. from S. Kickapoo St. the 100 block of S. Kickapoo St. in downtown Lincoln. All of the properties in this view lie within the Lincoln Courthouse Square Historic District that was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1985.
On the corner is the former First National Bank Building, which more recently has been used as a senior center. This neoclassical style building was constructed about 1915 and is one of two architecturally significant buildings in this block. The third building from the corner, known as the Arcade Building, is the other structure in this block that makes a significant contribution to the historic district. The Mission style Arcade Building was constructed in 1929 and is the design of architect John M. Deal. The building features terra cotta and tile trim, with shops open off the interior arcade as well as off the front part of the structure.
The remaining structures on this block are late 19th century Italianate and early 20th century commercial buildings. All but one at the opposite end of the block are contributing properties in the historic district.
Lincoln is the seat of Logan County, which is situated in central Illinois approximately 26 miles northeast of Springfield, the state capitol. The estimated population of Lincoln in 2018 was 13,685.

The Old Post Office, listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Old Post Office and Clock Tower and located at 1100 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., was begun in 1892, completed in 1899, and is a contributing property to the Pennsylvania Avenue National Historic Site.[1] It was used as the city's main General Post Office until 1914 at the beginning of World War I, succeeding an earlier 1839 edifice, G.P.O. of Classical Revival style, expanded in 1866 on F Street, which later was turned over to the Tariff Commission and several other agencies (today, the Hotel Monaco). The Pennsylvania Avenue 1899 landmark structure functioned primarily as a federal office building afterward, and was nearly torn down during the construction of the surrounding Federal Triangle complex in the 1920s. It was again threatened and nearly demolished in the 1970s to make way for proposals for the completion of the enveloping Federal Triangle complex of similar Beaux Arts styled architecture government offices, first begun in the 1920s and 30s.

Each fall, monarchs set out on an incredible 4,000-to-5,000-kilometre journey from Southern Canada to their wintering sites in the mountain forests of Mexico. This is one of the world’s longest insect migrations!
Monarchs are threatened by deforestation of wintering forests in Mexico, disruptions to their migration caused by climate change, and the loss of native plants (including milkweed species but also all nectar-producing native plants) along their migratory corridors. Researchers say that the increasing frequency and severity of extreme weather events (linked to accelerating rapid climate change), is likely also contributing to reduced numbers.
During the past two decades, WWF has seen a dramatic and sustained decrease of the area occupied by monarchs on their wintering grounds, in the wintering forests near Mexico City (where the bulk of the North American population winters). In Canada, the monarch is listed as special concern under the Species at Risk Act but was recommended for listing as Endangered in December 2016.

A corner view of the Fiddick House in Galena. John Fiddick was born in Cornwell, England in 1826. He immigrated to the United States in 1841, and became a prominent dry goods merchant in Galena. Fiddick built this beautiful Second Empire style mansion in 1859, with additions made in 1883. He lived to the age of 92, and is buried in Galena's Greenwood Cemetery along with his wife, Mary.
This angle also provides a glimpse of the Asa Haile Row House next door. This Federal-style brick home with Greek Revival accents was constructed in 1856 for Asa Haile Row, a riverboat captain and successful mason. Both the Fiddick House and Row House are contributing properties in the Galena Historic District which encompasses 85 percent of the City of Galena and includes more than 800 properties. The Galena Historic District was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1969, with modifications in 2013.
Galena is the seat of Jo Daviess County in the northwest corner of Illinois. This is the unglaciated area of northwestern Illinois. The rolling hills, history and abundant 19th century architecture draws visitors from throughout the country. The estimated population of Galena in 2019 was 3,158.
