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 !historyartifacts@lemmy.world

Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

Those pictures are not of the same tower. The one on the left is indeed the swamp tower of Pena Palace, but the one on the right is the Inverted Tower in Quinta da Regaleira. Both in Sintra, Portugal.

Nonetheless both are amazing by itself! (And the whole Sintra region)
