The history of the pedestrian tunnel in Gorizia, Italy, underneath the city’s castle has been, for the most part, relatively mundane. The tunnel was originally conceived in the second half of the nineteenth century as a way to connect the city center of Gorizia on the west side of the castle with an animal market (that no longer exists) on the east side of the castle in the neighborhood of Rafut (which is now located across the border in Slovenia).

Hidden away south of the Lincoln Memorial and just steps from the Potomac lies a monument that seems out-of-place on the National Mall. The inventor of the screw propellor may seem like a dull and undeserved choice for memorialization here. However, John Ericsson's achievements were arguably as pivotal to victory in the American Civil War as President Lincoln's leadership.

Long before Hollywood cameras arrived, League Stadium was already a centerpiece of small-town baseball in Huntingburg, Indiana. Originally built in the 1890s and rebuilt in 1928, the park has retained its vintage charm, from its wooden grandstand to its hand-operated scoreboard.

When Henri Frugès, a sugar trader, wanted to provide his employees with affordable housing, he approached an up-and-coming Swiss-born architect named Charles-Édouard Jeanneret, who would later become known as Le Corbusier. Le Corbusier applied his ambitious vision of minimalist, functional, standardized, prefabricated housing to a small pilot scheme in nearby Lège, where six houses and a communal building were delivered in 1924.

Set into the red-brick exterior of Gumlösa Church—one of Scandinavia’s oldest surviving stone churches—this weathered relief is both an artifact of ambition and an accident of history.

The waterfall among the rocks in the village of Sündü in the Gobustan region fascinates everyone with its unique beauty. The surrounding trees, berry bushes, and steep rocks seem to add additional color to this beauty.

While nude statues aren’t unusual, they don’t normally have the mischievous charm of the newly unveiled bronze on Colwyn Bay’s promenade. For this is Terry Jones in his guise as the Nude Organist from Monty Python’s Flying Circus, with his bottom proudly on display.

The Iglesia de la Vera Cruz (Church of the True Cross) was established in the Barrio Lastarria of Santiago, Chile, in 1852. The founders intended it to be a memorial church for Pedro de Valdivia, a Spanish conquistador believed to have lived there. De Valdivia founded Santiago, Chile, in 1541, and served as the country’s first Royal Governor.
