House of Pilate

The old half-timbered house on the Tiergertnertorplatz is called the Pilatushaus House. It was built in 1489, for the master who made knightly equipment - therefore, the corner of the facade is decorated with a statue of St. George, dressed in knightly armor. The basement of the house is made of pink sandstone; three floors were erected using half-timbered technology. The pediment with an octagonal turret was completed in the XVI century. Its name is "Pilatushouse".

Salt Museum in Trapani in Sicily

Today we will learn how to make salt. After all, vacation in Sicily is not only the sea and the beach, but also many educational sights. Personally, I try not to eat salt in food, but it turns out not so scary. Salt is so commonplace that we don’t even think about where it comes from.
