St. Louis - Französisches Krankenhaus in Jerusalem
Gegenüber der Nord-West Ecke der Altstadt steht dies 1851 von den Franzosen gebaute Krankenhaus., und so viele Besucher fotografieren das schöne Gebäude. An der Fassade sind die Kriegsspuren von 1948 noch sehr gut sichtbar.
Wenige nur wissen was sich hinter den Mauern verbirgt: Heute ist dies ein Hospiz für Krebskranke im Endstadium und wird betreut vom Deutschen Verein vom Heiligen Lande aus Köln
wikipedia: Tokyo Tower (東京タワー, Tōkyō-tawā) is a communications tower located in Shiba Park, Minato, Tokyo, Japan. The 332.6-meter-tall (1,091 ft) orange and white lattice tower is the tallest self-supporting steel structure in the world, the tallest artificial structure in Japan and the 11th tallest tower in the world.
Built in 1958, this Eiffel Tower-like structure supports an antenna that broadcasts television and radio signals for important Japanese media outlets such as NHK, TBS and Fuji TV. In recent years, the tower has also been instrumental in Japan's push to switch from an analog signal to digital signal.
The tower is constructed of steel, a third of which was from recycled World War II scrap steel. Despite being 8.6 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower (32.6 if the tower's TV antenna is included), Tokyo Tower only weighs about 4,000 tons, 3,300 tons less than the Eiffel Tower.
