今天早上起來又在旅館用早餐，太喜歡西班牙的哈密瓜了，一整盤都被我吃光了！
I love honeydew. I ate two servings!
戴安娜神殿是世界遺產之一。梅莉達的戴安娜神殿是羅馬建築的典範。有趣的是，它並不是獻給女神戴安娜的，而是用來崇拜皇帝和他的家人的，這與古羅馬的皇帝崇拜一致。
15 世紀，一位貴族決定在寺廟上方直接建造他的宮殿，這大大改變了寺廟的原始結構。後來，在 20 世紀，一座 U 形混凝土建築莫名其妙地在寺廟周圍建造了——這一決定至今仍令人費解。
儘管經過了這些改造，這座寺廟仍然是一個迷人的地方。它展示了歷史的層次，您可以看到穆斯林如何在西哥德人留下的建築上建造，而西哥德人又是在原始的羅馬地基上建造的。這些文明的相互作用使得這座寺廟成為梅里達豐富而複雜的遺產的非凡見證。The Temple of Diana in Mérida is a stunning example of Roman architecture, it’s a UNESCO. Interestingly, it was not dedicated to the goddess Diana but rather to the worship of the emperor and his family, in line with the imperial cult of ancient Rome.
In the 15th century, a nobleman decided to construct his palace directly atop the temple, significantly altering its original structure. Later, in the 20th century, a U-shaped concrete building was inexplicably constructed around the temple—a decision that remains puzzling to this day.
Despite these modifications, the temple remains a fascinating site. It showcases layers of history, where you can see how the Muslims built upon structures left by the Visigoths, who, in turn, had built on the original Roman foundations. The interplay of these civilizations makes the temple an extraordinary testament to the rich and complex heritage of Mérida.
