** We need more photos please folks, so grab your camera or mobile phone and get snapping!
Yesterday’s photo was a view across the Roman theatre at Malaga, Spain.
Behind it is the Alcazaba fortress. The site was originally a Phoenician colony (from 770 BC). When the Romans arrived in 218 BC, a Villa was built there.
The Muslim Arab conquest of Spain occurred in 711 AD. Construction of the Alcazaba started in the 11th century. It was continually modified during the period of Arab rule.
Malaga was recaptured by Christian Spain in 1487. In the 18th Century, the Alcazaba ceased being used for military purposes. It then became a residential area until 1933, when the civilian occupants were evicted & restoration together with archaeological work commenced.
NOTE: We prefer photos to be from a window with preferably part of the window in the shot.
They do not have to be exotic locations. They can be the view from your kitchen window or bedroom window or lounge room window or car window on the way to work.
