Greatland Reviewer: Γειά σας.

Αυτή η ιστοσελίδα έχει αρχειοθετηθεί λόγω έλλειψης αντίδρασης, μετά από μυνήματα που στάλθηκαν σχετικά με προβλήματα στην κρύπτη. Αν επιθυμεί ο ιδιοκτήτης, την επαναενεργοποίηση της, μπορεί να έλθει σε επαφή μαζι μου μέσω του profile μου, το συντομότερο δυνατό ,πριν μια νέα κρύπτη τοποθετηθεί στην περιοχή της.

Σημειώστε οτι η επαναενεργοποίηση μιάς κρύπτης απαιτεί την ίδια διαδικασία με τον έλεγχο νέας κρύπτης και θα ισχύουν οι τρέχοντες κανόνες.

Με εκτίμηση,

Geocache Description:


 

We propose you a geocaching trail in Thessaloniki's Old City comprising of Unesco World Heritage Monuments. It is made by students and teachers of the Senior High School of Intercultural Education of Evosmos who worked on the local History. This trail is an output of a European Erasmus+ project entitled  "Geocaching in and out of the classroom. Minds on the Move" in which students and teachers from 7 european schools (Italy, Spain, France, Portugal,Greece, Lithuania and Poland) also participate .

 

We start our trail from Pyrgos Trigoniou (Triangle Tower). This is the balcony of Thessaloniki, haughty and imposing while a panoramic image of the city hugging the sea will remain to you unforgettable. On a clear day you’ll be able to see Olympus Mountain located 150km away, without any difficulty.

It is a great fortification project that was raised by the Turkish authorities after the occupation of Thessaloniki at 1430. Their purpose was to reinforce with an artillery tower, the sensitive point in which most invasions were accounted for.

The name Trigonion Tower is due to the text of Ioannis Anagnostou, which refers to the stairs that the enemies touched on the Trigonio and thus invaded the city. There is also the view that the triangle was called the triangular cantilever of the northern city walls on which the gate of Anna Palaiologina had been opened.

 

 

http://Our heritage: where the past meets the future Why Cultural Heritage? Cultural heritage has a universal value for us as individuals, communities and societies. It is important to preserve and pass on to future generations. You may think of heritage as being ‘from the past’ or static, but it actually evolves though our engagement with it. What is more, our heritage has a big role to play in building the future of Europe. That is one reason why we want to reach out to young people in particular during the European Year. Cultural heritage comes in many shapes and forms. • tangible – for example buildings, monuments, artefacts, clothing, artwork, books, machines, historic towns, archaeological sites. • intangible – practices, representations, expressions, knowledge, skills - and the associated instruments, objects and cultural spaces - that people value. This includes language and oral traditions, performing arts, social practices and traditional craftsmanship. • natural – landscapes, flora and fauna. • digital – resources that were created in digital form (for example digital art or animation) or that have been digitalised as a way to preserve them (including text, images, video, records). Through cherishing our cultural heritage, we can discover our diversity and start an inter-cultural conversation about what we have in common. So what better way to enrich our lives than by interacting with something so central to who we are? Cultural heritage should not be left to decay, deterioration or destruction. This is why in 2018, we search for ways to celebrate and preserve it. https://europa.eu/cultural-heritage/about
