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 [email protected]

Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to [email protected]

Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to [email protected]

In 1963, construction of the Valdecañas reservoir inundated the monument; and thus, it is only visible when water levels are low. Drought conditions in the last decade have exposed the monument in several summers.

Thank you global warming for helping us see this more and more...
