Pierre de Couhard in Autun, France

August 22, 2024

Many questions remain unanswered about this unusual pyramidal structure overlooking the town of Autun. When was it built? What was its function? This structure is most likely a funerary monument, built near the road that linked Autun to Lyon. It is believed to have been constructed in the first century on one of the town’s ancient necropolises. The monument is made of solid masonry and has no interior chamber, so it is not known whether it was a mausoleum or...

Pitlochry Fish Ladder in Pitlochry, Scotland

August 22, 2024

Nestled in Scotland’s Perthshire region, the Pitlochry fish ladder is an engineering ingenuity and environmental conservation success.

Designed by the fish biologist John Berry, the ladder stretches an impressive 310 meters, featuring a series of 34 ascending pools. Each pool sits 50 centimeters higher than its predecessor, creating...

The Beautiful Art of Greece's 'Embroidered' Bread

August 22, 2024

Four years ago, I traded in the Midwest for sunny Athens. My wedding there last summer inspired me to learn more about my own cultural traditions, many of which didn’t come on the cross-Atlantic trip with my family when they emigrated. One day, I stumbled across the picture of an elaborately decorated loaf of bread at a Greek church ceremony. That photo was my first introduction to the embroidered breads of Greece. These loaves are often called ploumisto psomi...

Kigakurin Banshōji Temple in Nagoya, Japan

August 22, 2024

Ōsu is one of the busiest shopping areas of Nagoya as well as one of the “big three” of Japan’s electric towns, considered a hub of otaku subculture alongside Akihabara and Nipponbashi.

At first glance, Banshōji may not look much, as it blends in among the shops and restaurants, often unnoticed by tourists. Housed in a five-story concrete building since 1994,...

The Unlikely Popularity of Grape-Nuts Ice Cream

August 21, 2024

Ice cream is a food open to wild experimentation. Unique ice cream flavors can make international headlines, and travelers often go out of their way to try regional specialties. For example, in New England and Nova Scotia, some parlors serve Grape-Nuts ice cream—not as a modern novelty, either. The mixture of vanilla ice cream and Grape-Nuts predates the cereal-milk flavor trend by a century. Grape-Nuts—the crunchy breakfast cereal—are not a decadent ingredient, to say the least. Though they have...

Valley of the Mills (Údolí mlýnků) in...

August 21, 2024

People take a lot of strange things to nature, so why not miniature water mills? There are several dozen of them along a small mountain stream with an ideal slope, and they are constantly replaced by new ones. The mini-mills are made from materials such as iron, wood, plastic, ceramic, or even electrical printed circuit boards, and some also make sounds. In Czechia, large water mills were once used to grind grain flour, while mechanical energy was obtained using...

That Time Portugal’s King Gifted an Elephant...

August 21, 2024

In early 1514, an eager audience gathered in the small central Italian town of Tarquinia, once a powerful Etruscan city. They stormed into the town’s local inn. Those unable to find room inside clambered onto the roof or perched atop neighboring buildings. They were all desperate to get a look at something special, something they had never seen before, desperate enough that the inn’s roof collapsed under their weight, and the “something special” was forced to spend the night...

El Deposito Underground in San Juan, Philippines

August 21, 2024

Underneath a battle shrine where Filipinos took a stand against Spanish colonial rule lies one of the largest underground reservoirs in the world.
