Trillo is a Spanish municipality in the province of Guadalajara, located on the banks of the Tagus River, in the region of La Alcarria. It has a population of 1355 inhabitants (INE 2017). In addition to the municipal capital, the districts of Azañón, Morillejo, La Puerta and Viana de Mondéjar are part of Trillo.
Already in Roman times Trillo was a known population, being located in the border region between Carpetania and Celtiberia. Its settlement was consolidated after the Reconquista at the end of the eleventh century when Alfonso VI the Brave was King when it became part of the Common of the Villa and Land of Atienza, ruling by its Jurisdiction.
In 1325, the Infante Don Juan Manuel built the castle whose ruins crown the nucleus. In the middle of the fifteenth century it passed into the jurisdiction of the Counts of Cifuentes, until, in 1630, Trillo was declared a town with its own jurisdiction.
In the sixteenth century the churches of Trillo, Azañón and Morillejo were built. During centuries it was a prosperous town and in 1580 its population reached the 320 inhabitants, according to the census realized in times of Felipe II. Its decline came at the beginning of the eighteenth century with the War of Succession. The mountains and fields were cut down, cattle and hives were destroyed, and more than two hundred houses were burned, which led to a drastic decline in its population from 1752 to 82 inhabitants.
Already in the twentieth century, the construction of the Trillo nuclear power plant, inaugurated in 1987, meant the economic revitalization of the municipality. It is currently the most modern nuclear power plant in Spain. (Source: Wikipedia).
Trillo es un municipio español de la provincia de Guadalajara, situado a orillas del río Tajo, en la comarca de La Alcarria. Cuenta con una población de 1355 habitantes (INE 2017). Además de la capital municipal, forman parte de Trillo las pedanías de Azañón, Morillejo, La Puerta y Viana de Mondéjar.
Ya en época romana Trillo era una población conocida, estando situada en la región fronteriza entre Carpetania y Celtiberia. Su poblamiento se consolidó tras la Reconquista —a finales del siglo xi siendo monarca Alfonso VI el Bravo— cuando pasó a formar parte del Común de la Villa y Tierra de Atienza, rigiéndose por su Fuero.
En 1325, el infante Don Juan Manuel construyó el castillo cuyas ruinas coronan el núcleo. A mediados del siglo xv pasó a la jurisdicción de los Condes de Cifuentes, hasta que, en 1630, Trillo fue declarada villa con jurisdicción propia.
En el siglo xvi se construyeron las iglesias de Trillo, Azañón y Morillejo. Durante siglos fue una próspera villa y en 1580 su población alcanzaba los 320 habitantes, de acuerdo al censo realizado en tiempos de Felipe II. Su decadencia llegó a principios del siglo xviii con la Guerra de Sucesión. Se talaron sus montes y plantíos, se destruyeron ganados y colmenas, y fueron quemadas más de doscientas casas, lo que conllevó un drástico descenso de su población de 1752 a 82 habitantes.
Ya en el siglo xx, la construcción de la central nuclear de Trillo, inaugurada en 1987, supuso la revitalización económica del municipio. Actualmente es la central nuclear más moderna de España. ( Fuente : Wikipedia)

Located approximately 280 km (170 miles) north of Lisbon, the historic center of Porto was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1996.[25] Among the city's architectural landmarks, the Porto Cathedral is the oldest surviving structure, along with the small Romanesque Church of Cedofeita, the Gothic Church of Saint Francis, remnants of the defensive city walls, and several 15th-century houses.
Note:
The Luiz I Bridge (Portuguese: Ponte Luiz I),[2] commonly known as Dom Luís I Bridge (Ponte de Dom Luís I), is a double-deck metal arch bridge that spans the river Douro between the cities of Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia in Portugal. At its construction, its 172 metres (564 ft) span was the longest of its type in the world. It can be confused with the nearby Maria Pia Bridge, a railway bridge that was built 9 years earlier (and is located 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) to the east), which is similar in aspect to the Luiz I bridge.
Malin Head (Irish: Cionn Mhálanna) is located on the Inishowen Peninsula, County Donegal, Republic of Ireland and is the most northerly point of the island of Ireland. The northernmost tip is the headland named Banba's Crown located at latitude 55.38ºN. Malin Head gives its name to the Malin sea area. There is a weather station on the head, which is one of 22 such stations whose reports are broadcast as part of the BBC Shipping Forecast.
Ptolemy's Geography (2nd century AD) described a point called Βορειον (Boreion, "the northern") which probably referred to Malin Head.
Banba's Crown on Malin Head is the most northerly point of the Irish mainland. Banba was one of the mythical queens of Ireland. Banba's Crown is about 16 km (10 mi) north of the village of Malin. The island of Inishtrahull is further north, located approximately 10 km (6 mi) north east of Malin Head. Further north still is the most northerly landfall of Ireland, Tor Beg rock.
Tower at Banbas Crown that was used during war times.
Malin Head is home to small businesses such as pubs, restaurants, shops and a large call centre called Forward Emphasis International, which employs many of the local residents.

Mount Vesuvius is a somma-stratovolcano located on the Gulf of Naples in Campania, Italy, about 9 km east of Naples and a short distance from the shore. It is one of several volcanoes forming the Campanian volcanic arc. Vesuvius consists of a large cone partially encircled by the steep rim of a summit caldera, resulting from the collapse of an earlier, much higher structure.
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis, Stabiae, and several other settlements. The eruption ejected a cloud of stones, ashes and volcanic gases to a height of 33 km, erupting molten rock and pulverized pumice at the rate of 6×105 cubic metres per second. More than 1,000 people are thought to have died in the eruption, though the exact toll is unknown. The only surviving eyewitness account of the event consists of two letters by Pliny the Younger to the historian Tacitus.
Vesuvius has erupted many times since. It is the only volcano on Europe's mainland to have erupted in the last hundred years. It is regarded as one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world because 3,000,000 people live near enough to be affected by an eruption, with 600,000 in the danger zone. This is the most densely populated volcanic region in the world. Eruptions tend to be violent and explosive; these are known as Plinian eruptions.
Vesuvius has a long historic and literary tradition. It was considered a divinity of the Genius type at the time of the eruption of AD 79: it appears under the inscribed name Vesuvius as a serpent in the decorative frescos of many lararia, or household shrines, surviving from Pompeii. An inscription from Capua to IOVI VESVVIO indicates that he was worshipped as a power of Jupiter; that is, Jupiter Vesuvius.
The Romans regarded Mount Vesuvius to be devoted to Hercules. The historian Diodorus Siculus relates a tradition that Hercules, in the performance of his labors, passed through the country of nearby Cumae on his way to Sicily and found there a place called "the Phlegraean Plain", "from a hill which anciently vomited out fire ... now called Vesuvius." It was inhabited by giant bandits, "the sons of the Earth. With the gods' assistance, he pacified the region and continued. The facts behind the tradition, if any, remain unknown, as does whether Herculaneum was named after it. An epigram by the poet Martial in 88 AD suggests that both Venus, patroness of Pompeii, and Hercules were worshipped in the region devastated by the eruption of 79.

Gefion Fountain located at the front of Kastellet a star fortress in the centre of Copenhagen, Denmark.
The fountain was donated to the city of Copenhagen by the Carlsberg Foundation on the occasion of the brewery’s 50-year anniversary. It was originally supposed to be located in the main town square outside city hall, but it was decided instead to build it in its current location.
It was designed by Danish artist Anders Bundgaard, who sculpted the naturalistic figures 1897-99. The basins and decorations were completed in 1908. The fountain was first activated on July 14, 1908. The fountain underwent extensive renovations starting in 1999. The fountain was out of commission for many years, and was re-inaugurated in September 2004.
The fountain depicts the mythical story of the creation of the island of Zealand on which Copenhagen is located. The legend appears in Ragnarsdrápa, a 9th-century Skaldic poem recorded in the 13th century Prose Edda, and in Ynglinga saga as recorded in Snorri Sturluson's 13th century Heimskringla.
According to Ynglinga saga, the Swedish king Gylfi promised Gefjun the territory she could plough in a night. She turned her four sons into oxen, and the territory they ploughed out of the earth was then thrown into the Danish sea between Scania and the island of Fyn. The hole became a lake called Lögrinn and Leginum (locative). Snorri identifies the lake Löginn, as the lake of Old Sigtuna west of Stockholm, i.e., Lake Mälaren, an identification that he returns to later in the Saga of Olaf the Holy. The same identification of Löginn/Leginum as Mälaren appears in Ásmundar saga kappabana, where it is the lake by Agnafit (modern Stockholm), and also in Knýtlinga saga.
