Convento de San Domingo, atop the ruins of the Qoricancha – the Temple of Gold, in Quechua. The Qoricancha was built by the ancient Inca in the city of Cuzco (Peru), the capital of their empire, and destroyed by the Spanish “conquistadores”. Photo taken by tradutorgarciagaray in 2013.

This is the so-called Cleopatra’s Needle – in fact, it is an obelisk erected during the reign of Thutmose III (XV century BC). It was originally erected in the Egyptian city of Heliopolis; now, it stands on the Thames, far away from where it once belonged (photo taken in London, Winter of 2012).
