I get excited to see ancient ruins and the layered remnants of past history in a city journal, and yours never fails to astound me.  While I have been focusing on making maps, I get deeply caught up when I discover some region has a long lost city or excavated archaeological site that I just have to recompose and crop the map to incorporate these places.  Of course, Greece, Italy, and the rest of the Mediterranean are just festooned with such sites.  Recently, in cropping a map of Córdoba in Spain, I found out that just outside the city was the medieval archaeological site Madinat al-Zahra, the fortress city palace of the first caliph of Al-Andalus.  Previously, in cropping a region map of Athens, I found out about Sounion with its Temple of Poseidon perched on a promontory with the most amazing views of the Aegean.  Nope, I haven't ever been to Greece or the Temple of Poseidon, but I know I've seen it before already, here in Dimland!

Thank you so much for your comment. Those places are so beautiful and peaceful. I'm very happy  that this journal takes you on a journey to all those places. This update is based on a real site in the region of Macedonia in North Greece, the palace where Alexander the Great became king after the assassination of his father.
