It was originally built in 4th-century BC, and has been reconstructed multiple times since then. The beautifully rendered mural and a well crafted maquette in the Delphi museum, show how the temple of Apollo was the most important building among many.  The temple's foundations survive today along with several columns made of limestone and porous stone, which have allowed for the temple's advanced decaying. Very little is known about the temple's interior.]]> 2017-03-11 18:04:59 UTC https://padlet.com/kevangelista22/3u2yvqmh60ov/wish/159448377 kevangelista22 https://padlet.com/kevangelista22/3u2yvqmh60ov/wish/159448380 Bagrati Cathedral is located in Georgia and was built in the early years of the 11th century.

Before the Roman annexation of Numidia, the town of Dougga was the capital of an important Libyco-Punic state. It flourished under Roman and Byzantine rule, but declined in the Islamic period. These ruins are an outstanding example of the synthesis between different cultures: Numidian, Punic, Hellenistic, and Roman. Dougga is considered the best preserved example of an Africo-Roman town in North Africa.]]> 2017-03-11 18:10:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kevangelista22/3u2yvqmh60ov/wish/159448671 kevangelista22 https://padlet.com/kevangelista22/3u2yvqmh60ov/wish/159449323 Sabratha was part of the Numidian Kingdom of Massinissa before being Romanized and rebuilt in the 2nd and 3rd centuries A.D.

The theater was initially constructed in the late second century BC, and was later repaired in the late-first century BC, likely following an earthquake in 15 BC. The theater received an extensive renovation and enlargement in 111 CE, bringing the theater to its presently preserved extent. Between 214 and 217 CE, the theater was modified to accommodate gladiatorial games and venations but it was restored to its original form as a theater after 250 CE. The theater was abandoned in the later fourth century CE, likely the result of successive seismic events, the earthquake of 365/70 perhaps resulting in its abandonment.]]> 2017-03-12 23:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kevangelista22/3u2yvqmh60ov/wish/159542691 kevangelista22 https://padlet.com/kevangelista22/3u2yvqmh60ov/wish/159542731 Qasr al-Hosn is located in the United Arab Emirates and is the oldest stone building in the city of Abu Dhabi.
