Луго, Галисия

[zhsky]

Краст, Эталон Зануды, выросший на луне громко восхищается Ла-Коруньей, и я вспомнил, что так и не вывесил фотографии чудного галисийского города Луго. В 273-276 гг., когда он были римским Lucus Augusti, город был обнесён крепостной стеной, которая осталась практически нетронутой с тех времён, an outstanding example of the type of construction and architectural and archaeological group which illustrates various significant periods of human history, говорит нам ЮНЕСКО.

Вот более подробное описание: "The structure of the Roman walls of Lugo consists of internal and external stone facings with a core filling of earth, stones and pieces of worked Roman stone from demolished buildings. There are ten gates: five ancient and five recent. Five stairways and a ramp give access to the parapet walk. A number of double staircases giving access from the parapet walk to the towers have been found within the thickness of the walls, and it is assumed that each of the towers was provided with similar stairways. Of the original interval towers, 46 have survived intact, and there are a further 39 that are wholly or partly dismantled. They are spaced at irregular intervals round the walls; they were two-storeyed and most of them are roughly semi-circular in plan, the gap in the wall in which they were constructed varying in width from 5.35 m to 12.80 m".

По этим стенам хорошо гулять, а местные бегают трусцой.
