"Recordando viejos ferrocarriles"
Antiguo Ferrocarril de Murcia a Mula y Caravaca 1933-1971.
La estación hundida...
La antigua estación de la población se encuentra literalmente enterrada en el centro de una plaza construida en los viejos terrenos ferroviarios.
Originalmente, la traza ferroviaria discurría por el pueblo en trinchera, con el consecuente desnivel entre las calles y las casas. Tras el cierre de la línea, el Ayuntamiento decidió conservar el edificio, renunciando a parte del mismo para que el terreno de la nueva plaza estuviera a nivel.
En sus principios, la estación contó con con tres vías y un muelle de carga cerrado con una cuarta para el mismo.
Curiosamente, en la nueva plaza se celebran las fiestas del pueblo.

"Remembering Old Railroads"
Old Railway from Murcia to Mula and Caravaca 1933-1971.
The Sunken Station...
The town's old station is literally buried in the center of a plaza built on the former railway grounds.
Originally, the train tracks ran through the town in a trench, creating a drop between the streets and the houses. After the line closed, the Town Hall decided to preserve the building, giving up part of it so the ground of the new plaza could be leveled.
In its early days, the station had three tracks and a covered loading dock with a fourth track dedicated to it.
Interestingly, the new plaza is now where the town festivals are held.
Der Bau des Hieronymitenklosters im Pfarrbezirk Belém der portugiesischen Hauptstadt Lissabon liegt nahe zum Ufer des Flusses Tejo, wurde 1501 im manuelinischen Stil (der portugiesischen Gotik) begonnen und 100 Jahre später vollendet. Das große Erdbeben im Jahr 1755 überstand das Kloster mit nur kleinen Schäden, die schnell behoben werden konnten. Die Mönche des Hieronymus-Ordens wirkten hier bis zur Säkularisierung im Jahr 1833.
Jerónimos Monastery, situated in the parish of Belém in the Portuguese capital Lisbon, lies close to the banks of the River Tagus. Construction began in 1501 in the Manueline style (Portuguese Gothic) and was completed 100 years later. The monastery survived the great earthquake of 1755 with only minor damage, which was quickly repaired. The monks of the Order of St Jerome remained here until the secularisation of 1833.
Ruins of the rock-cut tomb known as "The Treasury" (Al-Khazneh) located in Petra, Jordan. This tomb dates back to roughly 2,000 years ago. It's one of the many elaborate structures that were created at Petra, which once served as the capital of the Nabatean Kingdom.
