Hoodoos take millions of years to form and stand 5 to 7 metres tall. Each hoodoo is a sandstone pillar resting on a thick base of shale that is capped by a large stone. Hoodoos are very fragile and can erode completely if their capstone is dislodged (in other words, no climbing allowed). The protected Hoodoos site is a guaranteed spot to see Hoodoos but smaller versions of these sandstone giants can be found all over the Badlands.

Ġgantija is a Neolithic, megalithic temple complex on the Mediterranean island of Gozo (in the village of Xaghra). The Ġgantija temples are the earliest of a series of megalithic temples in Malta. Their makers erected the two Ġgantija temples during the Neolithic Age (c. 3600-2500 BC), which makes these temples among the oldest megalithic monuments in the world, predating even the Giza pyramids in Egypt and England’s Stonehenge.
Together with other similar structures on Malta, these have been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Megalithic Temples of Malta.

Asen's Fortress is a medieval fortress in the Bulgarian Rhodope Mountains, close to the city of Plovdiv, on a high rocky ridge on the left bank of a river. Elevation of 279 m.
The earliest archaeological findings date from the time of the Thracians, the area of the fortress being also inhabited during the Ancient Roman and Early Byzantine period. The fortress gained importance in the Middle Ages, first mentioned in the statute of the Bachkovo Monastery in the 11th century. The fortress was conquered by the armies of the Third Crusade.

Die Ruine liegt in einer Höhe von 760 Metern über NN. Auf einem Felsriff am Albtrauf gelegen, bietet sie eine schöne Aussicht auf das Neidlinger Tal.
Die Burg wurde gegen 1270 als Ministerialburg der Herrschaft Teck gebaut; sie kontrollierte bis in das Spätmittelalter den einzigen Albaufstieg aus dem Neidlinger Tal.
Die spätstaufische Burganlage besaß eine Haupt-, Vor- und Unterburg, einen etwa 19 Meter hohen Bergfried mit 2 Meter starken Mauern auf einer Grundfläche von 5,66 mal 5,95 Metern, an dessen Nordseite ein Anbau mit Satteldach stand, einen Palas mit schildmauerartiger, hoher Frontmauer sowie eine Burgkapelle im Burghof. Die Schildmauer war 14 Meter hoch und 2 Meter stark.
Nach der von Wilhelm Hauff verfassten Sage ließ der Riese Heim vom Heimenstein, der bis dahin in der Felshöhle in den gleichnamigen Schwammstotzen auf der gegenüberliegenden Talseite gelebt hatte, die Burg auf dem Reußenstein erbauen. Um auf den Reußensteinfelsen zu gelangen, musste er erst mit einem großen Schritt das Tal durchqueren, trat dabei aber zu kurz und blieb mit einem Fuß in dem morastigen Talgrund stecken. Als er ihn wieder herauszog, entsprang dem Fußstapfenloch eine Quelle, wodurch er ganz nebenbei die Lindach geschaffen hatte.
Zuletzt fehlte an der fast fertigen Burg noch ein Nagel. Keiner der Handwerker wagte es jedoch, diesen in luftiger Höhe einzuschlagen. Da kam ein junger Geselle aus dem Neidlinger Tal, der es wagen wollte. Der Riese hielt den jungen Mann mit seiner mächtigen Faust zum Fenster hinaus über den Abgrund, bis er sein Werk beendet hatte. Als Lohn bekam er Reichtum und die Tochter des Meisters zur Frau.
No son muchos los datos que se poseen de esta antigua fundición, ubicada en el paraje de Piedrallana, al norte de Villaricos, muy cercana a otra fábrica: la Invencible. Se cree que fue construida sobre 1870, cesando su actividad nada más comenzar el siglo XX, al disminuir notablemente la producción de las minas de Sierra Almagrera.
Hacia 1883, Santa Ana fue adquirida por José Soler Gómez, conocido exportador de minerales de plomo de la zona, lo que para algún autor significa que la fundición mantuvo un ritmo de producción continuo, sin grandes altibajos, habiéndose estimado en unas 30 toneladas diarias el mineral que era llevado para su tratamiento a la fábrica, llegándose a consumir anualmente 3600 toneladas de coque y hulla llegados en buques desde Inglaterra....

The Aulne monastery (Abbaye d'Aulne) was once a Benedictine and then a Cistercian monastery - and now it is mostly in ruins. It was founded already in 637 and came under Cistercian rule in 1147. The monastery had many ups and downs, with its last golden era in the 18th century. But the monastery was sacked by French revolutionaries in 1794 and turned to ruins.

At the ruins of the former abbey of Jumièges. This place was founded already back in the 7th century, but was burnt down by marauding Vikings. The place was rebuilt in the 10th and 11th century with the abbey church consecrated again in 1067. The church was later reworked 1267-1278 in the Gothic style.
It was finally abandoned during the French Revolution.
From my visit there in 2010 - for a better overview of some of the buildings found here, see:

The church ruin of the Holy Grave, also known as the Schöntal ruin, is the ruin of the Beguine Monastery church, which was built between 1543 and 1545 and burned down in 1552. This was built by Archbishop Albrecht von Brandenburg around 1500 in the "Tiergarten zu Aschaffenburg". In 1540 he made his partner Agnes Pless his abbess. Already in the Schmalkaldic War in 1546 and a few years later in the Second Margrave War in 1552, the building was largely destroyed. With the dissolution of the Beguine Convent, the Aschaffenburg Church of the Holy Sepulcher was left to decay. Since the church building only stood for a short time, the presence of the beguines in Aschaffenburg's local history has only been handed down in the zoo. The ruins were later included in the park design.
Die Kirchenruine zum Heiligen Grabe, auch als Schöntalruine bekannt, ist die Ruine der 1543 bis 1545 erbauten und 1552 niedergebrannten Kirche des Beginenklosters. Dieses wurde vom Erzbischof Albrecht von Brandenburg um das Jahr 1500 im „Tiergarten zu Aschaffenburg“ errichtet. Zu dessen Äbtissin machte er 1540 seine Lebensgefährtin Agnes Pless. Bereits im Schmalkaldischen Krieg 1546 und wenige Jahre später im Zweiten Markgrafenkrieg 1552 wurde das Gebäude weitestgehend zerstört. Mit der Auflösung des Beginenkonvents wurde die Aschaffenburger Grabeskirche dem Verfall preisgegeben. Da das Kirchengebäude nur kurze Zeit stand, hat sich die Anwesenheit der Beginen in der Aschaffenburger Lokalgeschichte nur im Tiergarten überliefert.Die Ruine wurde später in die Parkgestaltung mit einbezogen.
Simat de la Valdegna
Simat de la Valldigna, Spain, Monastery
The monastery was founded in 1297 by James II of Aragon. Since the beginning, it was one of the most important monasteries of the Cistercian order. It was founded by the monks of Santes Creus in the Tarragona province. The whole Valldigna valley belonged to the monks, according to a royal order.
The monastery was inhabited by monks until 1835, when a revolt in the Valldigna valley took place after the Ecclesiastical Confiscations of Mendizábal. After that, the monks were forced to abandon the monastery. Most of its goods and works of art were sold, plundered or destroyed.
This ancient Cistercian monastery was neglected and in ruins, until the Generalitat Valenciana (Valencian Government) began a process of restoration.
After decades of abandonment, now the monastery of Santa Maria de Valldigna is, according to the 57th article of the Statute of Autonomy of the Valencian Community, "the spiritual, historical and cultural temple of the ancient Kingdom of Valencia. It is as well a symbol of the grandeur of the Valencian people". The same article states that "the Generalitat Valenciana will recover, restore and preserve the monastery (...) a law from the Valencian Parliament will determine the destiny and usage of the monastery as a meeting point of all Valencians, and as a research center for the recovery of the Valencian Community history".
Tres ábsides semicirculares de estilo románico (Siglo XII), el central mas bajo que los laterales, dejando espacio a un extenso rosetón que da luz al templo. Están divididos por contrafuertes en forma de elevadas columnas que llegan hasta la preciosa cornisa con arquería de medio punto. Edificios posteriores, como la sacristía, impiden apreciar debidamente el conjunto absidal.
The church of the old monastery of San Esteban de Ribas de Sil.
Three semi-circular apses of Romanesque style (12th century), the central lower than the lateral ones, leaving room for an extensive rosette that gives light to the temple. They are divided by buttresses in the form of high columns that reach the beautiful cornice with half-point archery. Later buildings, such as the sacristy, impede the proper appreciation of the whole of the apse.
