Becán ist eine archäologische Stätte und vormaliges Zentrum der Maya der präklassischen Periode. Sie befindet sich im mexikanischen Bundesstaat Campeche, im Zentrum der Yucatán-Halbinsel, 150 Kilometer nördlich von Tikal.
Der Name Becán bedeutet in Mayathan „Schlucht, von Wasser geformt“ und bezieht sich auf den umgebenden Graben, der einzigartig für eine Maya-Stätte ist. Becán, das im Rio-Bec-Stil erbaut ist, war ein regionales religiöses und politisches Zentrum der Maya. Die ersten Nachweise menschlicher Besiedelung gehen ins Jahr 600 v. Chr. zurück. Die Blütezeit der Stadt war jedoch in den Jahren 600–1000, bewohnt war die Stadt bis etwa 1250.
Die Stadt ist von einem Graben umgeben, der an sieben Stellen unterbrochen war. Er war damit kein wirksames militärisches Hindernis, oder wurde nicht als solches fertiggestellt.
Becan is an archaeological site of the Maya civilization in pre-Columbian Mesoamerica. Becan is located near the center of the Yucatán Peninsula, in the present-day Mexican state of Campeche,Archaeological evidence shows that Becan was occupied in the middle Preclassic Maya period, about 550 BCE, and grew to a major population and ceremonial center a few hundred years later in the late Preclassic.
As the heavens prepare for an imminent downpour, nature paints a breathtaking scene in the mountains of Tuscany.
Italy experiences a period of intense rainfall as dark clouds dominate the sky. The relentless downpour transforms the landscape, turning streets into temporary rivers and fields into saturated patches of earth. People navigate through the rain, seeking shelter and utilizing umbrellas and raincoats to stay dry. The heavy rainfall showcases the power and unpredictability of nature, reminding us of our vulnerability in the face of natural forces.
For more than two years, because of the pandemic, I was waiting for photograph this interesting flower at Botanic Garden.
I don't know why, but the area where it grows was closed to the public.
Finaly, some months ago I could photograph. The area is shadowed most of the time, but I was luck because the plant grew a lot in this period and some flowers and leaves were touched by th sunlight :)
Kohleria amabilis, the tree gloxinia, is a species of the flowering plant belonging to the family Gesneriaceae.
This species is native to Honduras (Mesoamerica) and Colombia.
Kohleria amabilis can reach a height of 60 centimetres . Leaves have a silvery pattern and are egg-shaped, velvety, 10–10.5 centimetres long. The brightly colored flowers are about 5 centimetres, long, tubular, slightly nodding, usually pink on the outside with red or purple dots inside.
This photo shows "Kohleria amabilis var. bogotensis" which has dark green leaves and yellow and red-orange flowers. Flowering period extends from late Winter through the Spring and Summer.
These tropical plants are rhizomatous and have a period of seasonal leafless dormancy.
Original MidJourney AI assisted digital abstract with iPad Pro, TouchRetouch, procreate, and Apple Pencil.
I recently tried out the new Text-to-Image AI called MidJourney. I am blown away. The quality of its images is a huge step up from previous tools I’ve used (‘WOMBO Dream, Starry AI, and NightCafe).
The output still needs to be upscaled, de-noised, and repainted a bit, but not nearly as much as with other tools.
The user interface is a crazy nightmare… Imagine a Unix-style command line you access from a Discord chat server. There is a bit of a learning curve, but the output is worth it.
En période de reproduction ( printemps - été, la mésange bleue a un régime alimentaire essentiellement insectivore. Elle se nourrit majoritairement d'insectes, d'araignées et de larves vivant sur les arbres et arbustes hauts. Ce sont les chenilles qui sont la principale source caraténoïdes responsables de l'intensité de la couleur jaune vif du plumage ventral. Mâle et femelle sont quasi identiques . La différence se fait au niveau du bandeau de l'oeil, noir chez le mâle et bleu foncé chez la femelle. La femelle est également plus pâle.Les jeunes sont plus ternes et présentent un dessous et une joue jaune pâle . Leur calotte est verdâtre. En dehors de la reproduction, son régime est majoritairement Granivore (graines) préférentiellement d'aunes et de bouleaux, complétées de bourgeons, de nectar, de pollen, voir de sève au printemps ou de noix et suif en hiver; en plus un peu insectivore ( oeufs d'insectes, araignées. - La mésange bleue réalise une couvée de 7 à 12 oufs par an( d'avril à mai) parfois une deuxième en juin -juillet. La taille de la ponte varie selon l'altitude, la qualité de l'habitat ou le volume de la cavité. La couvaison qui dure de 12 à 14 jours, est assurée par la femelle seule. Les fréquences de nourrissage impose aux parents jusqu'à quinze apports d'aliment pas heure. Chaque poussin en moyenne cinquante becquées par jours pendant 2 semaines. les études physiologiques de l'ornithologie montrent que les parents sont à la limite de la résistance physique en fin d'élevage; un couple devant chasser de 6000 à 9000 chenilles par nichée. - Le chat, même nourri par son " maître" n'en chasse pas moins par instinct et reste un redoutable prédateur des mésanges. Il arrive notamment qu'un pic épeiche ainsi qu'un geai arrache de jeunes oisillons de leur nid pour les manger. - Personnellement vu.

On Monte Calderico they settled in the 6th century BC. C. the first townsfolk, given its strategic importance for transhumance.
With the Punic wars takes place the conquest and establishment of a Roman city (the old Consaburum named by Plinio), at the foot of the Cerro Calderico, to be abandoned the town located on it. Consuegra reached a great development, being the main city of Carpetania, a key point on the roads to the north and south. Bridges, roads, a dam, an aqueduct and a circus were built. Consuegra is cited by classical authors such as Livy or Ptolemy. Through it the Roman road called "Via Laminium".
The majority of the Hispanic and Gothic population remained with the arrival of the Arabs. The castle dates back to this time. In the year 1085 Toledo falls before Alfonso VI. It seems that Consuegra had passed into the hands of Castile in 1083. In the year 1097 the son of El Cid Campeador, Diego, died in the battle of Consuegra. In this battle, the armies of Castile, commanded by King Alfonso VI, were defeated by the Almoravids commanded by Yusuf ibn Tasufin, changing hands again. It was later reconquered by Christians.
In 1150 Alfonso VII handed over his castle to his vassal Rodrigo Rodríguez. In 1183 the population, together with its alfoz, was donated by Alfonso VIII, with the approval of Pope Lucius III to the Sovereign Order of the Hospital of St. John of Jerusalem (Order of Malta), which appointed Consuegra head of the Grand Priory of Castile and León, in La Mancha, taking the castle as its seat, and granting it the Fuero de Consuegra, a copy of the one in Cuenca. He emphasized in this period under his tutelage the defense after the battle of Alarcos in 1195. With the Battle of Las Navas de Tolosa, in 1212, the area finally stabilized.
Sobre el monte Calderico se asentaron en el siglo VI a. C. los primeros pueblos carpetanos, dada su importancia estratégica para la transhumancia.
Con las guerras púnicas se produce la conquista y asentamiento de una ciudad romana (la antigua Consaburum nombrada por Plinio), a los pies del Cerro Calderico, al ser abandonado el poblado situado sobre éste. Consuegra alcanzó un gran desarrollo, siendo la principal ciudad de la Carpetania, un punto clave en los caminos hacia el norte y el sur. Se construyeron puentes, vías, una presa, un acueducto y un circo. Consuegra es citada por autores clásicos como Tito Livio o Ptolomeo. Por ella discurría la calzada romana llamada "Vía Laminium".
La mayoría de la población hispana y goda permaneció con la llegada de los árabes. El castillo se remonta a esta época. En el año 1085 cae Toledo ante Alfonso VI. Parece que Consuegra había pasado a manos de Castilla en 1083. En el año 1097 moría en la batalla de Consuegra el hijo de El Cid Campeador, Diego. En esta batalla, los ejércitos de Castilla mandados por el rey Alfonso VI, fueron vencidos por los almorávides al mando de Yusuf ibn Tasufin, cambiando de nuevo de manos. Fue reconquistada posteriormente por los cristianos.
En 1150 Alfonso VII entregó a su vasallo Rodrigo Rodríguez el castillo. En 1183 la población, junto a su alfoz, fue donada por Alfonso VIII, con la aprobación del papa Lucio III a la Soberana Orden del Hospital de San Juan de Jerusalén (Orden de Malta), que nombró a Consuegra cabeza del Gran Priorato de Castilla y León, en La Mancha, tomando el castillo como sede, y otorgándola el Fuero de Consuegra, copia del de Cuenca. Destacó en esta época bajo su tutela la defensa tras la batalla de Alarcos en 1195. Con la Batalla de las Navas de Tolosa, en 1212, se estabilizó finalmente la zona.
within a period of 10 minutes i woke up, jumped in and out of the shower and literally ran outside with a huge buzz of excitement when i saw fog (first time i've seen fog since last winter and i LOVE it)
hahahaha. i mean, most shots didn't work out because of my 50mm lens to fit this whole thing in i had to have the camera pretty far away, and it was too far for the camera to respond to my remote.. so it was all a case of 'self timer and RUN RUN RUN' hahaha most times i didn't make it. fun!!!!

Peak period on Sydney harbour.
Last Saturday night at McMahons Point Wharf.
Saturday 12th October, 2024.
Part of my recent dusk walking tours around the harbour.
Lately I have been parking the car along Blues Point Road, and walking down to the harbour.
A catamaran had just picked up more wedding guests from the McMahons Point Wharf, and was embarking on its dusk wedding cruise.
Meanwhile, the 'John Nutt' ferry - coming from Darling Harbour - was just about to dock at McMahons Point Wharf, to collect passengers going to Luna Park (Milsons Point) and then under the bridge to Circular Quay.
The 'John Nutt' is Sydney's newest ferry, commencing service in July, 2024. It is one of the new Parramatta River Class of catamarans. John Nutt was an engineer who was chiefly responsible for constructing Sydney's Opera House.

Watch out, lol.
I was standing on Pier 19 at the Jones Bay Wharf, Pyrmont, where I had arrived at about 5.30am. AND, as soon as dawn arrived, so did all these boats - small and large, lol.
It was chaos on the water.

(El arte de ser un auténtico cotilla).
La vida de un “cotilla” es muy sacrificada y en verano roza casi lo tormentoso.
Los cotillas no dejamos de ser unos soñadores, seres muy alejados de las palabras que fija la Real Academia de la Lengua como chismosas y parlanchinas, todo lo contrario, intentamos averiguar el porqué de las cosas, de ciertas actitudes, el intríngulis de ciertos comportamientos.
………………………
Íbamos todos camino de las Islas Cíes en un barco atestado de turistas.
Y de pronto apareció ella, brillando con luz propia sobre un mar de fondo completamente azul.
Y bajo un violento sol, una luz oblicua derramaba destellos nacarados en su pelo negro azabache.
Hay que reconocer que era una morenaza de muy buen ver, vamos, una chica de portada de revista, espléndida, solemne.
Un servidor elogiaba su fina elegancia, una auténtica reprimenda para mentes que ya creían haberlo visto todo.
Calculando a ojo, no tendría más de treinta y pocos años.
Hablaba por teléfono y me hubiera gustado estar un poco más cerca de ella, pero un vientecillo fresco me traía palabras sueltas, frases inconexas que mi imaginación descifraba de inmediato con cierta coherencia.
Al principio no entendía nada, pero poco a poco empecé a entenderlo todo.
Hablaba con el noviete, de eso no cabía la menor duda.
- No me fío de ti ni un pelo Carlos, siempre me has dado mala espina, aparte de que siempre has sido un auténtico sinvergüenza.
Ya tenía varios datos, el sujeto se llamaba Carlos y era un presunto sinvergüenza.
La cosa se ponía interesante.
-Por descontado que esta noche iré al BUDA y te cantaré las cuarenta a la cara y muy clarito Carlos para que no quede ningún género de duda.
Te dejo que ya hemos llegado a las Cíes, nos vemos esta noche, canalla.
Hay que reconocer que la chica tenía gran aplomo y cierto carácter.
La seguí entre pasarelas de madera y bellos pinares.
Ya en la playa, se quitó sus sandalias, se quitó su falda completamente negra, y su camisa, completamente blanca y quedó en un bikini que lo enseñaba todo y a la vez no enseñaba nada.
Tenía unas magníficas piernas, demoledoras, diría yo.
La miraba y la miraba y no daba crédito……y en eso me quedé dormido.
Al despertar ella ya no estaba.
Volví al muelle y vi partir barcos y más barcos, pero en ninguno estaba ella.
Cogí el último barco y una cosa tenía muy clara, esa noche estaría en el Buda. ¡Vamos, como hay dios ¡
A las once de la noche hacía guardia en la puerta del BUDA.
Sobre las doce llegaron ellos. El Carlitos era guapo, las cosas como son, pero ella iba con un traje sastre de chaqueta, chaleco y pantalón azul marino de corte muy masculino, una camisa de raya diplomática y un cinturón negro haciendo juego con unos zapatos de cordones.
La quintaesencia de la pura elegancia. Radiante, solo faltaba una alfombra roja para resaltar tanta belleza.
Me senté lo más cerca posible de ellos y me llegaba un aroma fresco a flor de naranja, a madera de cedro…..a vainilla.
No podía oír gran cosa por la música, pero siempre quedan los gestos…..y los gestos siempre son muy elocuentes.
En un momento dado ella se levantó y dijo:
-¡Y una leche ¡ Ahí te quedas.
Eso lo escuché perfectamente. El hizo ademán de retenerla, pero ella de un manotazo retiró la mano de él.
Y se marchó.
Y yo la seguí.
Pero en un cruce de calles la perdí de vista. Volví sobre mis pasos con la esperanza de encontrarla, pero en vano.
Me hubiera gustado saber su nombre……por todo, por nada.
Y ahora una canción de
Leonard Cohen: Closing Time.
Located about 2 to 3 hours drive east of Sofia, Plovdiv is a modern city with an extensive old city in the center. Built on seven hills like Rome, the ancient city was the Roman regional capital. Later, it became an important city in the Byzantine and Ottoman Empires. The old city features a fine Roman ampi-theater, well-preserved walls, and many fine homes from the Bulgarian Revival period. It's also famous as a haven for artists and was the European Capital of Culture in 2019.

A torrential rain period is about over now in Suriname. Because of this, the country had to open the floodgates of its main reservoir called Afobaka Dam that produces nearly all the electricity of the country. But opening the floodgates affect the level of the river and a lot of the neighboring constructions such as the Bergendal Resort in Brokopondo, Suriname.
Een periode van hevige regenval is nu zo goed als voorbij in Suriname. Hierdoor moest het land de sluizen openen van zijn belangrijkste stuwmeer, de Afobaka-dam, dat bijna alle elektriciteit van het land produceert. Maar het openen van de sluizen heeft invloed op het niveau van de rivier en veel van de aangrenzende constructies, zoals het Bergendal Resort in Brokopondo, Suriname.
Um período de chuvas torrenciais está quase acabando no Suriname. Por causa disso, o país teve que abrir as comportas de seu reservatório principal, denominado Barragem de Afobaka, que produz quase toda a eletricidade do país. Mas a abertura das comportas afeta o nível do rio e muitas das construções vizinhas, como o Bergendal Resort em Brokopondo, Suriname.
Un período de lluvias torrenciales está a punto de terminar en Surinam. Debido a esto, el país tuvo que abrir las compuertas de su principal embalse llamado Presa Afobaka que produce casi toda la electricidad del país. Pero la apertura de las compuertas afecta el nivel del río y muchas de las construcciones vecinas, como el Bergendal Resort en Brokopondo, Surinam.
In Suriname sta per terminare un periodo di piogge torrenziali. Per questo motivo, il paese ha dovuto aprire le cateratte del suo bacino principale chiamato Afobaka Dam, che produce quasi tutta l'elettricità del paese. Ma l'apertura delle chiuse influisce sul livello del fiume e su molte delle costruzioni vicine come il Bergendal Resort a Brokopondo, in Suriname.
Une période de pluie torrentielle est sur le point de se terminer au Suriname. Pour cette raison, le pays a dû ouvrir les vannes de son principal réservoir appelé le barrage d'Afobaka qui produit la quasi-totalité de l'électricité du pays. Mais l'ouverture des vannes affecte le niveau de la rivière et de nombreuses constructions voisines telles que le Bergendal Resort à Brokopondo, au Suriname.
Eine sintflutartige Regenzeit ist in Surinam nun vorbei. Aus diesem Grund musste das Land die Schleusen seines Hauptreservoirs namens Afobaka Dam öffnen, das fast den gesamten Strom des Landes produziert. Aber das Öffnen der Schleusen beeinflusst den Pegel des Flusses und viele benachbarte Bauwerke wie das Bergendal Resort in Brokopondo, Surinam.
فترة من الأمطار الغزيرة على وشك الانتهاء في سورينام. وبسبب هذا، اضطرت البلاد إلى فتح بوابات الفيضان في خزانها الرئيسي المسمى سد أفوباكا الذي ينتج كل الكهرباء تقريبا في البلاد. ولكن فتح بوابات الفيضان يؤثر على مستوى النهر والعديد من المباني المجاورة، مثل منتجع بيرغندال في بروكوبوندو، سورينام.
white marble Lustration urn from Pergamon
Hellenistic marble lustration urn from Pergamon, the enormous urn or jar, around 2 mt high, is one of a matching pair carved from single blocks of marble during the Hellenistic period.
The Kamakura Daibutsu, or Great Buddha of Kamakura, is a prominent bronze statue located in the city of Kamakura, which is part of Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. This statue is a depiction of Amida Buddha and is situated within the Kōtoku-in Temple in the small town of Hase. The Kamakura Daibutsu stands impressively at over 13 meters (43 feet) tall and weighs approximately 93 tons.
This historic statue was originally cast in the mid-13th century, around 1252, during the Kamakura period, which adds to its cultural and historical significance. The Daibutsu was initially housed within a large temple hall, but the building was destroyed multiple times by natural disasters, including typhoons and a tidal wave in the 15th century. Since then, the statue has stood in the open air.

Na een lange periode van veelal grijze dagen, was dat het weekend van 1 & 2 februari anders. Na al een onverwachts zonnige zaterdag, waar helaas niet gefotografeerd kon worden, waren de verwachtingen voor vandaag (2 februari) erg hoog. Normaal gesproken is er in Nederland wel het een en ander interessants te beleven op het spoor. Zo heb je elke zondag een keteltrein van RFO uit Tsjechië, welke nu standaard met een 193 rijdt, en nog veel meer andere dingen. Ook de ČD Cargo staaltrein, gereden door RFO, is een vaste verschijning op de zondag.
Voor deze zondag was er ook nog een andere speciale trein aangekondigd. Een ICE-L stam werd onder licentie van RailExperts overgebracht uit Duitsland naar Nederland voor opleidingsdoeleinden(?). Hier lag dan ook het hoofddoel voor de dag. Na een beetje rondvragen werd het al snel duidelijk dat de ICE-L overbrenging rond het middaguur in het grensstation van Bad Bentheim aan zou komen. Aangezien er verder deze ochtend weinig te beleven was, werd er rond half 11 uit Eibergen vertrokken in de richting van Zenderen. Hier konden we voor de overbrenging nog een foto maken van de staaltrein van ČD Cargo.
De dag ervoor kwam de trein ons land binnen met een van de nieuwe 383'ers die ČD Cargo rijk is. De meeste van deze nieuwe locomotieven hebben allemaal een speciale bestickering gekregen waar diverse wetenschappers die wat betekend hebben voor het spoor op worden getoond. Vandaag zou dat dus de 383 016 zijn die de naam František Křižík draagt, een Tsjechische uitvinder die naast zijn vele andere uitvindingen, erg belangrijk was voor de ontwikkeling van het spoorwegnet in Tsjechië. De trein komt planmatig via Bad Bentheim het land binnen en gaat zo via Amersfoort door naar de Westhaven in Amsterdam. De volgende ochtend vertrekt de trein weer richting onze oosterburen.
Afin, nu we aangekomen waren te Zenderen moest er nog maar een klein uurtje gewacht worden. De trein was op tijd vertrokken en dat zou betekenen dat ze rond kwart over 1 aan ons zou passeren. Na het hoogstatief opgezet te hebben, kwam Tim ons nog gezelschap houden tot de inmiddels 5 minuten vertraagde trein aan ons zou passeren. Na de passage van de Blauwnet-stoptrein, hoorden we in de verte al wat getoeter. Dit kon maar 1 trein wezen!
Het is 13:21 wanneer de 383 016 in bezit van ČD Cargo aan de 3 aanwezigen te Zenderen passeert. Aan de haak heeft de imposante loc trein 49399 uit de Amsterdam Westhaven naar Nymburk (CZ). De trein wordt daar in meerdere stukken verdeeld, waarmee er naar verschillende bestemmingen in Tsjechië wordt gereden. Na het maken van deze foto werd ook al gauw het vertrek van het eerder genoemde transport gemeld. Gauw werd er ingepakt en verplaatst, maar dat verhaal volgt dan later eens!
NB: Digitaal werd een reflectorpaaltje even uit de loc verwijderd, en werd de lucht net als enige wagens ook even opgeschoond...
Uno scorcio della piccola ed incantevole Manarola, uno dei paesini delle 5 Terre, fotografata al tramonto.
A vederla adesso mi rendo conto di aver tagliato via buona parte del paese, ma purtroppo non ho trovato posto migliore dove montare il cavalletto evitando di dar fastidio al grande via vai di persone che affollavano il passaggio.. alla fine sono riuscito a mettermi "da parte" su uno degli accessi alla scogliera (chiusi, non so se per il periodo o per il tempo), e almeno li son potuto rimane parecchio tempo senza intralciare nessuno.
Poter provare a fotografare finalmente uno di questi posti, che per anni ho visto solo in bellissime foto, è stata una bella emozione! La foto poteva venire molto meglio (e ci riproverò nelle prox settimane), ma al di la dello scatto in sé, ho scoperto una piccola parte d'Italia che mi ha lasciato davvero a bocca aperta.
Adesso finalmente capisco cosa intendono quando mi dicevano che le 5 Terre sono un piccolo angolo di paradiso..

Rail Adventure's 43480 emerges from the Great Western booking hall which spans the lines between platforms 2 and 3 at Tyseley at dusk on a chilly Friday evening. The 125 Group in association with RA and Chiltern Railways had organised this tour reminiscent of the Master Cutler in connection with the 125th Anniversary of the opening of London Marylebone. 1Z46 was due a crew change here and with that duly completed the tour departed this delightful station which is packed with period features of the railways of yesteryear.
A l’intérieur on peut admirer un retable du XVIIIe avec un tableau de l’époque romantique, qui représente, selon la légende, Saint Philibert débarquant dans l’anse du Ster sur la rivière du Crac'h après avoir navigué depuis l’Irlande sur une auge de pierre.
Le plafond de l’édifice est constellé d’étoiles, les vitraux évoquent les activités agricoles et ostréicoles de la commune.
Inside you can admire an 18th century altarpiece with a painting from the Romantic period, which, according to legend, represents Saint Philibert landing in the Ster cove on the river Crac'h after having sailed from Ireland on a stone trough.
The ceiling of the building is studded with stars and the stained glass windows evoke the agricultural and oyster farming activities of the commune.

Its Tuesday morning 1st period. Im very tired and not feeling well. I fell asleep last night around 10pm. Then my mom woke me up at 10:30 for something and i thought it was time to get up, I felt very rested, which is odd. I then went back to bed and slept till 5:30 this morning which is the normal time i wake up, i ate breakfast and then i went back to bed. I slept till 7:10 which is weird. I now feel as if i got no sleep.
Im catching something as well, my throat is killing me, and i just have that feeling that im going to get sick.
Anywho, back to what i was saying, its Tuesday morning 1st period, Im working on my final project for video 1 and i decided for the career that i wanted to talk about is director. I still have yet to film my adapt a story which i hope i can film tomorrow yet they are calling for a shit load of snow later today and tonight and alot of people are preparing for no school tomorrow.
I also should finish my math review homework, i only have a few questions left, but its like my brain gave up. Oh well, we're going over it in class. I have a math test tomorrow. ugggh.
I also have history homework to do. My review sheet. It is due in class which is 9th period so i have awhile, yet i need to study cause the test is also Wednesday.
My school sucks, literally. There was a school board meeting last night, and it was about how they might take out all the art courses in our school so that they can be replaced for the football team. Our football team sucks, we loose every game.
Oh and i finished reading Awakening. It was absolutly amazing. The ending was a little abrupt, but dont fret, Destined will be released in November.
My ipod is acting up. The internet is acting up even though i have Wi-Fi...looks like i might have to call Apple, and Geek Squad.
Hence this is called the Art of Complaints
La première période où l'on retrouve une "identité" valdôtaine, remonte à l'Empire romainAprès la conquête de la Gaule, les Romains tentèrent de mater les populations alpines (réputées pour le brigandage), dans le but de sécuriser les cols Au centre de la vallée, le camp retranché romain devint Augusta Praetoria, qui, devenue aujourd'hui Aoste, conserve des ruines témoignant de la grandeur de l'occupant. La voie romaine qui y arrivait du Piémont se scindait en deux : d'un côté vers l'Helvétie par le Mons Jovis (Grand St Bernard), de l'autre vers la Gaule par le Columna Jovis (Petit St Bernard)

la Porta Praetoria constituait l'accès monumental su côté Est de la ville romaine d' Auguste Paretoria des sa fondation(25 ans AVJC) Comprenant 3 arcades pour le passage des chars et des piétons, cette porte était fomée de 2 courtines parallç_les érigées en "opus quadratum" et comprise entre ds tours constituant la cour centrale, dominée par un chemin de ronde.Réalisée en ros blocs de poudingue au 1° S apJC , lz structure est embellie et monumentalisée par des marbres de qualité.
Le Mura di Montemerano, che racchiudono interamente il borgo, furono costruite in più fasi tra il periodo medievale e l'epoca rinascimentale. Includono la struttura fortificata del Cassero Senese.
La chiesa di San Giorgio, che si affaccia su "piazza della Chiesa", venne edificata in epoca tardomedievale e ampliata nella prima metà del Quattrocento con l'aggiunta dell'abside e del transetto.
