Architecture

Archaeologists discovered ancient roads in Petra. Ones for pedestrians, others for camels, and wheeled vehicles.

The Alcázar impresses not only with its palace rooms but also with its wonderful gardens and fountains.

Most of the fountain was made of travertine, obtained from a quarry 35 kilometers south of Rome.

The La Scala theater building was built on the site of the deconsecrated, demolished former church of Santa Maria della Scala, from which the theater took its name.

Upon the 800th anniversary of the cathedral's construction, its facade was cleaned. André Malraux, France's Minister of Culture, ordered a thorough restoration of the walls, which had turned black from dirt and soot over the past centuries.

Its cost is estimated at $4.5 million in 1962 (over $44 million today).

A Theater, Amphitheater and Palestrina were built on the outskirts of the city.

There is no exact data regarding the construction of the White Tower, but in 1100 it already existed.

Along with the general increase in wealth, the living standards of most social classes rose.

The image of the lighthouse was preserved on coins dating back to the period of its existence.
