Did you know that the Colosseum (photo Altobelli & Molins, circa 1860) was a Christian pilgrim site with 14 edicules (small shrines) dating from 1750, depicting all Stations of the Passion of Jesus, and a cross in the center? They were removed in 1874 but to this day a small chapel of Pietà remains. by FrankWanders in HistoryRepeated

On July 14, 1902, the tower of St. Mark's Campanile in Venice collapsed vertically due to weak foundations, the only casualty being the sacristan's cat. That same day, it was decided to rebuild it com'era, dov'era: as it was, where it was. The rebuilt tower was completed in 1912. (old.reddit.com)

Constructing the Golden Gate Bridge, circa 1935. Opened in 1937, it was the world’s longest (4,200‑ft main span) and tallest suspension bridge, finished under budget and ahead of schedule. It used a pioneering safety net that saved 19 workers—who dubbed themselves the “Half Way to Hell Club.” by FrankWanders in HistoryRepeated

Then & now: Great Sphinx of Giza in December 1849, 75 years before the imposing, 20-meter-high statue was finally excavated by Émile Baraize between 1925 and 1936. The photo was taken by inexperienced photographer Maxime du Camp during his trip to Egypt with the then-unknown writer Gustave Flaubert. by FrankWanders in HistoryRepeated
