Dieses Gebäude hab ich schon einmal 2005 fotografiert, allerdings mit einer grottenschlachten Kamera und bei einem mehr als nur miesen Wetter. Letztes Jahr hatte ich unwahrscheinliches Glück... zumindest mit dem Wetter. Da man bei der Kamera nicht gerade von Glück sprechen kann.
This building I've ever photographed 2005, but with a grotto slaughter camera and at a more than just lousy weather. Last year I had improbable happiness ... at least with the weather. Since you can not just talk about luck with the camera.

VERSO PALAZZOLO ACREIDE
_____________________
The area around Palazzolo Acreide has been inhabited since ancient times. In the 10th-11th centuries B.C.E, the Siculi lived here in small villages. The town occupies the site of the ancient Akrai (Latin Acrae), founded by Syracuse around 664 BC. The city was important as it controlled the paths of communication between the towns on the southern coast of the island. According to Thucydides, the Syracusans defeated the Athenians here in 413 BC.
In the treaty between the Romans and Hiero II of Syracuse in 263 BC it was assigned to the latter. After the Roman conquest, it became a civitas stipendiaria, and was still prospering in the course of the early Christian age.
The old city was probably destroyed by the Arabs, in the first half of the 9th century. The new city was built around a Norman castle, which no longer exists. An earthquake in 1693 destroyed almost the entire city, which was slowly rebuilt in the following centuries.

Ischia Ponte, Italy
The castle was built by Hiero I of Syracuse in 474 BC. At the same time, two towers were built to control enemy fleets' movements. The rock was then occupied by Parthenopeans (the ancient inhabitants of Naples). In 326 BC the fortress was captured by Romans, and then again by the Parthenopeans. In 1441 Alfonso V of Aragon connected the rock to the island with a stone bridge instead of the prior wood bridge, and fortified the walls in order to defend the inhabitants against the raids of pirates.
Around 1700, about 2000 families lived on the islet, including a Poor Clares convent, an abbey of Basilian monks (of the Greek Orthodox Church), the bishop and the seminar, the prince with a military garrison. There were also thirteen churches. In 1809, the British troops laid siege to the island, then under French command, and shelled it to almost complete destruction. In 1912, the castle was sold to a private owner. Today the castle is the most visited monument of the island.

By Wikipedia: Aragonese Castle (Italian: Castello Aragonese) is a medieval castle next to Ischia (one of the Phlegraean Islands), at the northern end of the Gulf of Naples, Italy.[1] The castle stands on a volcanic rocky islet that connects to the larger island of Ischia by a causeway (Ponte Aragonese).
The Aragonese Castle is the most impressive historical monument in Ischia, built by Hiero I of Syracuse in 474 BC. At the same time, two towers were built to control enemy fleets' movements. The rock was then occupied by Parthenopeans (the ancient inhabitants of Naples). In 326 BC the fortress was captured by Romans, and then again by the Parthenopeans. In 1441 Alfonso V of Aragon connected the rock to the island with a stone bridge instead of the prior wood bridge, and fortified the walls in order to defend the inhabitants against the raids of pirates.

'The great forest of Kanda, where undisturbed, was full of life, in the trees, on the ground and even in the air.'

Sketch titled 'Unknown Apex Predator' made during the naturalist Charles Darwin's HMS Beagle voyage and included in his book 'On the Origin of Species' (1859), page 503 (original print proof). The watercolor painting is by Darwin's shipmate Conrad Martens, Tahiti 1840. The original painting is stored in the basement of the Natural History Museum, London. The sketch was rejected by Darwin's editor and is not included in the first print (and later) editions. Mostly unknown to the general public, the sketch remains a source of controversy within the scientific community.

Ischia (Italian pronunciation: [ˈiskja]) is a volcanic island in the Tyrrhenian Sea. It lies at the northern end of the Gulf of Naples, about 30 kilometres (19 miles) from the city of Naples. It is the largest of the Phlegrean Islands. Roughly trapezoidal, it measures approximately 10 km (6 miles) east to west and 7 km (4 miles) north to south and has about 34 km (21 miles) of coastline and a surface area of 46.3 square kilometres (17.9 sq mi). It is almost entirely mountainous; the highest peak is Mount Epomeo, at 788 metres (2,585 feet).[2] The island is very densely populated, with 60,000 residents (more than 1,300 inhabitants per square km).[citation needed]
Ischia is the name of the main comune of the island. The other comuni of the island are Barano d'Ischia, Casamicciola Terme, Forio, Lacco Ameno, and Serrara Fontana.
Ischia's main industry is tourism, centering on thermal spas that cater mostly to European (especially German) and Asian tourists eager to enjoy the fruits of the island's natural volcanic activity, its hot springs, and its volcanic mud.
Aragonese Castle
The Aragonese Castle (Castello Aragonese, Ischia Ponte) was built on a rock near the island in 474 BC, by Hiero I of Syracuse. At the same time, two towers were built to control enemy fleets' movements. The rock was then occupied by Parthenopeans (the ancient inhabitants of Naples). In 326 BC the fortress was captured by Romans, and then again by the Parthenopeans. In 1441 Alfonso V of Aragon connected the rock to the island with a stone bridge instead of the prior wood bridge, and fortified the walls in order to defend the inhabitants against the raids of pirates. Around 1700, about 2000 families lived on the islet, including a Poor Clares convent, an abbey of Basilian monks (of the Greek Orthodox Church), the bishop and the seminar, and the prince, with a military garrison. There were also thirteen churches. In 1912, the castle was sold to a private owner. Today the castle is the most visited monument of the island. It is accessed through a tunnel with large openings which let the light enter. Along the tunnel there is a small chapel consecrated to Saint John Joseph of the Cross (San Giovan Giuseppe della Croce), the patron saint of the island. A more comfortable access is also possible with a modern lift. After arriving outside, it is possible to visit the Church of the Immacolata and the Cathedral of Assunta. The first was built in 1737 on the location of a smaller chapel dedicated to Saint Francis, and closed after the suppression of convents in 1806, as well as the Poor Clares convent.

Eduardo Chillida 1988
Representa la casa del Pueblo Vasco de ahí su nombre. Con 8 mts de altura, esta escultura fue completada en el mismo parque donde se instalo un encofrado de madera que posteriormente se relleno con hormigón tratado con virutas de hiero, los muros están abiertos con un enorme hueco que para Chillida representa la ventana que comunica con el árbol de Gernika. En el centro de la casa el corazón una estela de acero simboliza la Paz y la Vida como propuesta de tolerancia y libertad.
Eduardo Chillida 1988
It represents the house of the Basque People, hence its name. With a height of 8 meters, this sculpture was completed in the same park where a wooden formwork was installed that was later filled with concrete treated with iron chips. The walls are open with an enormous hole that for Chillida represents the window that communicates with the tree of Gernika. In the center of the house, the heart, a steel stele, symbolizes Peace and Life as a proposal of tolerance and freedom.
