Die alte Stadtmauer zieht sich entlang des Plateaus und wirkt auf den ersten Blick unscheinbar. Erst aus der Nähe werden in den Nischen die antiken Felsgräber sichtbar - Überreste einer Nekropole, die direkt in den Stadtbefestigungen angelegt wurde. Diese Verbindung von Wehr- und Ruhestätte erzählt viel über die pragmatische Nutzung des Gesteins und das Leben in Akragas.

There's multiple entrances into #CuthbertHolmesPark - which is directly connected to Colquitz River Park. This is my fave entrance because it takes you straight into the forest 😊💚🌲 There's an unmarked entrance around the corner from here that also leads directly into forest & we exited from that trail.
These two nearby municipal parks are part of the Craigflower-Colquitz Watershed. There's estuary/bird & wildlife sanctuary areas in both parks. Lots of active rewilding projects happening year round in both parks too. Please keep your dogs on leash & out of nature restoration zones.

Im „Limestone Heritage“ lässt sich nachvollziehen, wie der helle Kalkstein Maltas traditionell gewonnen wurde. Die Ausstellung zeigt die handwerklichen Werkzeuge früherer Generationen und die motorbetriebenen Sägen, die seit dem 2.WK in Gebrauch sind.

Masonry Techniques of the Inca’s Master Builders - Earth As We Know It

The Inca's precise stonework is often depicted as shrouded in mystery. Yet their construction methods were documented by early Spanish chroniclers. These historical records, supported by physical evidence, reveal how the Inca quarried, transported, split, shaped, fitted, and dressed their stones.
