Petra is one of the current 7 Wonders, of which the Treasury is one of the most iconic structures in Petra. Carved into the red sandstone rock face, it is 38 meters high and nearly 25 meters wide. It is located at the most important entrance to Petra from the Siq, and stands out for its elaborate decoration. Almost Hellenistic in style, it is known for its floral and figurative decoration, in addition to architectural elements such as columns and pediments that are reminiscent of ancient Greek temples.
Petra is an expression of the wealth and power of the Nabataeans with the influence of Roman architecture and a place of passage on the silk route.
At the end of the narrow gorge, the Siq, stands Petra's most elaborate ruin, popularly known as Al-Khazneh ("the Treasury"), hewn into the sandstone cliff. While remaining in remarkably preserved condition, the face of the structure is marked by hundreds of bullet holes made by the local Bedouin tribes that hoped to dislodge riches that were once rumoured to be hidden within it.
The Aachen Cathedral Treasury ("Aachener Domschatz") is one of the largest and most important treasuries of medieval Christian artworks in Europe. The treasury has over a hundred works that are exhibited in a museum adjacent to the Aachen Cathedral – the monumental church of Charlemagne, which together with the treasury was added to the first UNESCO World Cultural Heritage list in 1978.

The United States one-cent coin (symbol: ¢), often called the penny, is a unit of currency equaling one one-hundredth of a United States dollar. The first U.S. cent was produced in 1787. Its obverse has featured the profile of President Abraham Lincoln since 1909, the centennial of his birth. From 1959 (the sesquicentennial of Lincoln's birth) to 2008, the reverse featured the Lincoln Memorial. Four different reverse designs in 2009 honored Lincoln's 200th birthday and a new, "permanent" reverse – the Union Shield – was introduced in 2010. The U.S. Mint's official name for the coin is "cent"[1] and the U.S. Treasury's official name is "one cent piece".

this is the mighty Treasury in Petra, Jordan. It's one of the Wonders of the World and for good reason. Pretty pricey to get in, but well worth it and photos to be taken at every turn
The Old Treasury building, in Melbourne. Built between 1858 and 1862. Beautiful sandstone building , which is regarded as one of the finest 19th century buildings in Melbourne.
"An architectural competition was held in 1962 for an office tower to be placed behind the Old Treasury Building and on an axis with Collins Street. Despite not conforming to the brief, Barry Patten of Yuncken Freeman won the competition with a design for two buildings; a low scale building directly behind the Old Treasury Building to house government ministers and the Premier, and a taller tower to the north of matching design. A third building, to house the State Chemical Laboratories, was constructed to the east of the tower at the same time in the late 1960s, and all were placed within an elevated plaza, with a basement containing the State Film Centre, an auditorium, car parking and mechanical services located below. Completed by 1970, the buildings were designed in a modern and severe style, with proportions, window openings and materials used reflecting those of surrounding buildings in the precinct. Innovative load bearing precast panelling was used in construction."

Petra is the second of the 7 New Wonders of the World which I have seen this year, the first being the Great Wall of China. Alas, I missed Christ the Redeemer during my trip to South America.
Visiting here first thing in the morning was certainly the most enjoyable of the trip, allowing us to take images of the Treasury without anyone standing in the way, and also allowing us to clamber up the nearby rocks which are generally a no-go area to get a decent elevated view.
It’s impressive how such a structure could be carved directly into the stone; I certainly wouldn’t want to be the person doing it for fear of making a slight mistake. At least at Halloween there are spare pumpkins you can use should you need to; you only really get one chance at something like this.

Neither a treasury nor Atreus's, this is believed to have been the tomb of a Mycenaean ruler. It is the largest and most elaborate tholos tomb known to have been constructed in the Aegean Bronze Age. The dome was the largest in the world until the Roman period, and remains the world's largest corbelled dome (the true arch not yet having been invented).

One of the expositions inside the old gold mine in Złoty Stok :)
Mining in the vicinity of the Złoty Stok has a tradition stretching back more than 1,000 years. Probably since medieval times, the local people have extracted gold from rich veins or the alluvial deposits in the mountain streams. First written evidence of mining comes from the 13th century. The beginning of the 16th century saw the peak of the gold mining boom and also of the town of Złoty Stok. At that time about 150 kg of gold were obtained per year which accounted for approximately 8% of the European production. The 18th century, due to the decline in gold mining, saw the beginning of the production of strong poison, arsenic, from the extracted arsenic ore. For over a hundred years Złoty Stok was the world's only manufacturer. In 1991, work was started to open the surviving parts of the mine to the public. After 5 years of work, the “Złota Mine” Underground Tourist Route was launched in 1996. The Underground Tourist Route leads original passageways of the old gold mine and includes a tour of the “Gertrude Mineshaft” Museum, a walk along the “Passage of Death”, a meeting with the Gnome and also a visit to the “Upper Black Adit”, which is the site of Poland's only underground waterfall and the “Lower Black Adit”, opened only in 2006, for a ride to the exit on an orange tram. In the “Gertrude Mineshaft” there is also an extensive exhibit of charts and plans of the mine from the 18th right up to the 20th century and the treasury, where you can see the 1066 "gold" bars corresponding to 16 tonnes of gold obtained during the entire time of the operation of the mine, i.e. during approx. 1000 years. In the side passages there is an exhibition old mining tools that were discovered in the mine and foundry equipment. This is also the site of the laboratory of the alchemist Scharffenberger, where visitors can hear stories about arsenic recovered from the arsenic ore mined in the Złoty Stok.

Skarbiec w kopalni złota w Złotym Stoku :)
Historia eksploatacji złota w Złotym Stoku sięga pierwszego tysiąclecia naszej ery. Do lat współczesnych wydrążono przeszło 300 kilometrów sztolni, szybów i chodników. W najlepszym okresie w XVI wieku, z prawie dwustu kopalń, Złoty Stok dostarczał około 8 proc. całej europejskiej produkcji złota. W XVIIIw., ze względu na spadek wydobycia złota, rozpoczęto w Złotym Stoku produkcję mocnej trucizny, arszeniku, z wydobywanej tam rudy arsenu. Przez ponad sto lat Złoty Stok był jedynym na świecie jego producentem. Podziemną Trasę Turystyczną „Kopalnia Złota” uruchomiono w maju 1996 roku. Jest to specjalnie przygotowana trasa turystyczna prowaddząca oryginalnymi chodnikami starej kopalni złota z ekspozycją muzealną obejmującą dwie sztolnie. W pierwszej z nich - „Gertrudzie" (500 m) - turyści mogą podziwiać unikatową kolekcję map geologicznych, dawne górnicze instrumenty geodezyjne, tygle i piec do wytopu złota, bogatą kolekcję skał, rud i minerałów z całego świata oraz zbiór pamiątek związanych z 10-wiekową tradycją i historią wydobycia złota i skarbiec, gdzie można zobaczyć 1066 „złotych” sztabek odpowiadających 16 tonom złota uzyskanym w ciągu całego czasu pracy kopalni tj przez ok. 1000 lat. Druga ze sztolni - „Czarna" (700 m) - znajduje się w górnej części Złotego Jaru. Ta sztolnia wiedzie zwiedzających XVI-wiecznymi, ręcznie kutymi wyrobiskami, poprzez komory, po wybranych gniazdach rudy złotonośnej. Podczas zwiedzania turyści mogą się zapoznać z technikami górniczymi stosowanymi na przestrzeni wieków, podziwiać jedyny w Polsce podziemny wodospad, odbyć przejażdżkę podziemnym tramwajem, własnoręcznie wybić pamiątkową monetę, wziąć udział w płukaniu złota, obejrzeć pokaz odlewania złotych sztabek, bądź też obejrzeć wystawę minerałów. W bocznych chodnikach wyeksponowano zaś dawne narzędzia górnicze i hutnicze. Urządzono tu także laboratorium alchemika Schärfenberga, gdzie turyści mogą wysłuchać opowieści o arszeniku odzyskiwanym z rud arsenowych, wydobywanych w Złotym Stoku.
