~Wonders Of The World You Don't Know~ ♥

See the famous Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: Walk through the lush Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Climb the great Lighthouse at Alexandria. Stand before the immense statue of Zeus at Olympia. Marvel at the beauty of the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus...

But, instead of these seven wonders, there are another wonders that only be known to a few people..

1) Tower of Hercules (Spain)

The Tower of Hercules is an ancient Roman lighthouse and landmark on a peninsula from the centre of La Coruña harbour, Galicia, in north-western Spain since the Romans built the Farum Brigantium. The name Corunna is said to be derived from the ancient column. The structure is 55 meters (180 ft) tall and overlooks the North Atlantic coast of Spain. It is almost 1900 years old, was rehabilitated in 1791, and is the oldest Roman lighthouse still used as a lighthouse.


P/S: If Malaysia have lighthouse like the tower of Hercules…owhhh..(so excited)~high fantasy..kikiki..

      2) Metéora (Greece)

The Metéora (“suspended rocks”) is one of the largest and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Greece, second only to Mount Athos. The six monasteries are built on natural sandstone rock pillars, at the northwestern edge of the Plain of Thessaly near the Pineios river and Pindus Mountains, in central Greece. 


P/S: Really want go to this place. So beautiful!!!argghhh!!
 
      3) Library of Celcus (Turkey)

The library of Celsus  was built to store 12,000 scrolls and to serve as a monumental tomb for Celsus (who had been consul in 92 AD, governor of Asia in 115 AD, and a wealthy and popular local citizen). The building is important as one of few remaining examples of an ancient Roman-influenced library. It also shows that public libraries were built not only in Rome itself but throughout the Roman Empire. In a massive restoration which is considered to be very true to the historic building, the front façade was rebuilt and now serves as a prime example of Roman public architecture.


P/S: I love books but don’t love libraries..hihi… and this site is dedicated to knowledge (as are libraries).

This is some informations that i can give u today..have a nice day everyone~

Lots of love
