Saving What’s Precious
The World Monuments Fund is an organization
_____________works to preserve important
historical and architectural sites ____________ the world. Every two years, the WMF releases a list
of sites ______________ particular danger of becoming
ruins, and in 2014, it chose 67 sites in 41 countries.
As this is a problem I feel strongly about, I decided
to find______________ more about some of these
places ___________ my blog.
My first discovery was the Fort of Graca, in Elvas, Portugal. Built in the 18th century, this superb military
building played an important role in several wars.
However, the building’s strategic importance declined
over the years and signs of decay are now appearing.
Today, the WMF supports the continued maintenance
of the fort, and plans to reuse it as a tourism center.
My research then led me to the Sankore Mosque in
Timbuktu, Mali, West Africa. Built in the 14th century,
the mosque was integral to the city’s importance as a
spiritual and intellectual center in the 15th and 16th
centuries. Today, the mosque is vulnerable to fighting
and rapid urbanization in the region. The WMF hopes
to draw attention to this, and to protect this precious
monument.
My online journey then took me to the Christ Church
Cathedral in Zanzibar, Tanzania, East Africa. Completed
in 1879, the Cathedral’s exquisite design makes its history difficult to take in: it lies on the site of what was, until 1873, a major slave market. The Cathedral is now
both a place of worship and a memorial to the slaves
who suffered there. Recently, large cracks appeared
in the Cathedral’s walls. However, with the help of the
WMF, they are now repaired.
A very special site on my list was the Damiya Dolmen
Field in Jordan, home to 300 stone tombs which date
back to 3600 BC. The Damiya Field is in danger of collapse due to mining in the area. However, thanks to
pressure from the WMF, the Jordanian government is
taking steps to protect it.
Lastly, I found out about the 19th century Alhambra
Palace in Santiago, Chile. It replicates parts of the 13th
century Alhambra palace in Spain, and, until a major
earthquake hit the country in 2010, existed as a cultural institution supporting artists. The effects of the
earthquake, together with old age and weather, made
the building unsafe and it is currently closed. The WMF
hopes that its involvement with the palace can help it
to open to the public once again.
