History Ruins

What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like.

Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to !historyartifacts@lemmy.world

Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

Are they ruins or a monument? Were the parts with cross beams gonna be doorways or windows? A giant round house perhaps?

I mean, any sufficient old and weathered monument is a ruin of sorts.

What irked me on my visit is that you had to pay GBP27 per person, which is over €30, to get admitted, and still had to pay for the parking lot.
