  • The Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys, formerly known as the Estadi Olímpic de Montjuïc or Barcelona Olympic Stadium, was the main venue during the 1992 Olympic Summer Games in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.<br />
<br />
Originally built in 1927 for the 1929 International Exposition in the city (and Barcelona’s bid for the 1936 Summer Olympics, which were awarded to Berlin), it was renovated in 1989 to be the main stadium for the 1992 Summer Olympics.<br />
<br />
The stadium has a capacity of 54,000 (67,007 during the 1992 Olympics), and is located in the Anella Olímpica, in Montjuïc, a large hill to the southwest of the city which overlooks the harbour and is also one of my favorite places in the city.

The prisoners called it the “Gate of Death.”

  • The Belem Tower is a fortified tower located in the civil parish of Santa Maria de Belém in the municipality of Lisbon, Portugal. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of the significant role it played in the Portuguese maritime discoveries of the era of the Age of Discoveries. The tower was commissioned by King John II to be part of a defines system at the mouth of the Tagus river and a ceremonial gateway to Lisbon. It was built in the early 16th century and is a prominent example of the Portuguese Manueline style. The structure was built from lioz limestone and is composed of a bastion and a 30m (100 foot) tower. It has incorrectly been stated that the tower was built in the middle of the Tagus and now sits near the shore because the river was redirected after the 1755 Lisbon earthquake. In fact, the tower was built on a small island in the Tagus River near the Lisbon shore.

  • A scenic cliff formation located west of Cascais, Portugal known as Hell’s Mouth (Boca do Inferno in portuguese), formed by the erosion of a weak vein of limestone in the cliff face. This initially lead to a cave being excavated which slowly expanded over the generations. The tougher outer rock remained while the weaker rock was eroded to such a stage that the roof of the cave collapsed forming the unique Boca do Inferno. This 45m (150 feet) high rock formation comes to life when the ocean waves get rough and crash against the cliff face. In the summer these waves merely splash around in the open cave but during winter storms the full force of the ocean is funnelled into the cave.

  • Founded by the Etruscans about 2.500 years ago, Civita is perched on top of a hill among the valleys formed by Chiaro and Torbido streams, the little town appears clinged to the edge of a cliff where it dominates the wide desolated valley made up of calanchi. This isolation is the result of a continuous erosion that makes the tufa rock becoming thinner and thinner on an unstable layer of clay and sand altered by wind and rain. In 1695 the beginning of Civita's decay was signed by a terrible earthquake which, causing serious damages to the roads and buildings, compelled many inhabitants to leave the city. The continuous sismic activities that followed in the course of the centuries, brought a long series of landslides; for this reason, Civita almost became completely desolated. Today, in fact, only a very small number of people live there who are determined to keep this little fragment of rock alive.
