Opuntia is a genus in the cactus family, Cactaceae.
The most common culinary species is the Indian fig opuntia (O. ficus-indica). Most culinary uses of the term "prickly pear" refer to this species.
The genus is named for the Ancient Greek city of Opus, where, according to Theophrastus, an edible plant grew which could be propagated by rooting its leaves.

Incidentally, this, together with figs and water melon are my favourite summer fruit.
Le baptistère des Orthodoxes ou Baptistère de Néon, à Ravenne en Italie, est le plus ancien édifice de cette ville. Ce nom le distingue du baptistère des Ariens, également à Ravenne, construit par le roi des Ostrogoths, Théodoric l'Amale. Les deux édifices, dont la destination est identique, étaient propres aux deux communautés chrétiennes qui coexistaient alors à Ravenne.
Cet édifice paléochrétien est connu pour avoir conservé la plus grande partie de son décor intérieur datant du ve siècle (Bas-Empire romain), dont des marqueteries de marbres (opus sectile), des stucs, des fresques, mais surtout un large ensemble de mosaïques.
Il est inscrit, avec d'autres monuments de Ravenne, sur la liste du patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco.
Catedral, Toledo, Castilla-La Mancha, España.
La catedral de Santa María, llamada también catedral primada de España, es un templo católico de arquitectura gótica en Toledo, considerado por algunos como el opus magnum de este estilo en España. Su construcción comenzó en 1226 bajo el reinado de Fernando III el Santo y las últimas aportaciones góticas se dieron en siglo XV cuando en 1493 se cerraron las bóvedas de los pies de la nave central, en tiempos de los Reyes Católicos. Está construida con piedra blanca de Olihuelas (en el término de Olías del Rey).
Se la conoce popularmente como Dives Toletana (con el sentido de la rica toledana). Es sede de la archidiócesis de Toledo.
La torre fue diseñada e iniciada por Alvar Martínez. La construcción se inició en el año 1425, inmediatamente después de terminar Alvar Martínez el claustro. El trabajo de Alvar Martínez llegó hasta la culminación del cuarto cuerpo. Es gótica, con alguna influencia mudéjar. Tras una elevada base de planta cuadrada (en cuyo interior se aloja la capilla del Tesoro) se superponen cuatro cuerpos y por encima un quinto cuerpo de menor altura. En el segundo cuerpo tenía su vivienda el campanero y el tercero sirvió de prisión eclesiástica. Entre el primer cuerpo y el segundo se desarrolla horizontalmente un friso de mármol negro donde se ven realzados en mármol blanco los escudos del arzobispo Juan Martínez de Contreras (1422-1438). La altura total alcanza los 92 m.
Alvar Martínez no dejó trazas ni dibujos para continuar la coronación. El remate de la torre con el cuerpo octogonal fue obra del arquitecto Hanequin de Bruselas, que llegó para trabajar en esta catedral junto con un grupo de grandes figuras: Egas Cueman, Enrique Egas y Juan Guas entre otros. El cuerpo octogonal está acompañado de pináculos y arbotantes y se remata con una flecha que soporta tres coronas imitando una tiara.
En origen, el proyecto fue levantar dos torres,[cita requerida] una a cada lado de la fachada occidental, pero solo llegó a elevarse una, la de la esquina noroeste, mientras que de la opuesta solo se levantaron los primeros tramos, siendo este el lugar donde más tarde se construiría la Capilla Mozárabe. Según Pedro Navascués, no está claro si «fue realmente una torre lo que aquí se quiso levantar o fue tan solo el recinto de una capilla funeraria o una sala capitular».
The Cathedral of Santa María, also called the primate cathedral of Spain, is a Catholic temple of Gothic architecture in Toledo, considered by some to be the magnum opus of this style in Spain. Its construction began in 1226 under the reign of Ferdinand III the Saint and the last Gothic contributions were made in the 15th century when in 1493 the vaults of the feet of the central nave were closed, in the time of the Catholic Monarchs. It is built with white stone from Olihuelas (in the area of Olías del Rey).
It is popularly known as Dives Toletana (with the meaning of the rich Toledan). It is the seat of the archdiocese of Toledo.
The tower was designed and started by Alvar Martínez. Construction began in 1425, immediately after Alvar Martínez finished the cloister. Alvar Martínez's work reached the completion of the fourth body. It is Gothic, with some Mudejar influence. Behind a high square base (in which the Treasury chapel is located) there are four superimposed bodies and above a fifth body of lesser height. The bell-ringer had his home in the second body and the third served as an ecclesiastical prison. Between the first and second bodies there is a horizontal frieze of black marble where the shields of the archbishop Juan Martínez de Contreras (1422-1438) can be seen highlighted in white marble. The total height reaches 92 m.
Alvar Martínez did not leave any traces or drawings to continue the crowning. The top of the tower with the octagonal body was the work of the architect Hanequin from Brussels, who came to work on this cathedral together with a group of great figures: Egas Cueman, Enrique Egas and Juan Guas among others. The octagonal body is accompanied by pinnacles and flying buttresses and is topped with an arrow that supports three crowns imitating a tiara.
Originally, the project was to raise two towers,[citation needed] one on each side of the western façade, but only one was built, the one in the northwest corner, while only the first sections of the opposite one were built, this being the place where the Mozarabic Chapel would later be built. According to Pedro Navascués, it is not clear whether "it was really a tower that was intended to be built here or was it just the enclosure of a funeral chapel or a chapter house."
