Green Gables House

Known as "Green Gables," the house was the original farmhouse of the MacNeill family, cousins of author L. M. Montgomery. Like many farms on Prince Edward Island, the house started small and was expanded over time as the family grew. The oldest part is the kitchen wing of the house, built by David MacNeill Sr. in 1830.

Ernest Webb Homestead: Now restored as Green Gables House, circa 1890s - XZ1 MS A097013 #75. L. M. Montgomery Collection, Archival and Special Collections, University of Guelph Library.

L. M. Montgomery, who was called "Maude" by her family and friends, grew up with her maternal grandparents, Lucy and Alexander MacNeill. She knew the land well, and years later, the MacNeill farm was the inspiration for the setting of her novel Anne of Green Gables. She named the house "Green Gables" and imagined it as the home of Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, the characters who would become Anne's adoptive parents in the story.

Although this was the home of a real island family, the interior was decorated to match the fictional Cuthbert home. Montgomery was a very descriptive writer and painted the interior of the house very vividly in her stories. When the curators tried to accurately recreate Anne's home, they used many details from the novel to help them with the task.

Cooking Stove

Marila's "Ol d-fashioned Waterlou Stove" was quite gorgeous in the late 1800s. The New Waterloo No. 2 was manufactured in Sacville, New Branzwick. The firewood burned in the compartment below warmed the cooking surface and the baking oven (top) to supply home heat.

In the mid-1800s, fainting couches and daybeds were all the rage. One theory is that women in tight corsets collapsed onto them to catch their breath, hence the curvaceous couch. A kitchen couch was a good place for sick people and a very attractive place for a nap!

Woodbox

A wood box was where firewood was stored to fuel the stove. In Victorian homes, wood stoves needed to be kept running all the time (even in summer), so having firewood handy stored inside made life a little easier. Firewood was fed into the firewood box from a firewood shed or woodshed outside.

The story listed is created by an independent third party, and does not necessarily indicate the following statements that provide content.

Historic building attributes

"The era of Cordoba's most prosperous, began in the 8th century after the conquest of the Moans, 300 mosques, and countless palaces and public buildings, comparable to Constantinople, Damaskas, and Bagdad. In the era of Saints Ferdinand III, a large mosque of Cordoba was renovated into a cathedral, and a new defense building centered on Alkasal de Ross Ross Christianos and Torle Fortalesa De La Calahola. It was.

"Cordoba has developed organically and continuously for more than 2, 000 years, and as a result, many of the buildings in Cordoba are continuous changes in tastes and styles, reconstruction after destruction, and changes in use. ""

The Mosque of Cordoba

World Heritage Committee, 38th session. (2014). Document WHC-14/38. com/8E Adoption of RetroSpective StateMents of Outstanding Universal Value, P. 128-129.

There are hundreds of cultural and historically important buildings in the historic area, but the most outstanding monuments in the city are big mosques and are now called mosque cathedrals. This mosque, the central entity of the Islamic city, was registered as a World Heritage Site in 1984 (in 1994, it was registered as a World Heritage Site, including the historical area). It is a symbolic monument of Islamic religious architecture, a unique artificial performance, an experimental site of architectural technology, and a witness of Islamic in Western Europe. It is characterized by the parallel culture and architectural style, and it also contains elements that were rare in Islamic religious architecture:
Its size and ceiling height;
Double arch supporting the roof on the nave;
A combination of poly eg g-shaped archs intertwined with Rib Vallt, which gives Maxura's ensemble with stability and solidness;
Combined use of stones and bricks, reuse and integrate Rome and West Goat techniques, reusing pillars of previous architecture;

"Honeycomb", which is a characteristic of the art of the calif era, is different from the Corinthians.

Mosque design and layout were later expanded and changed in the third century under Islam. In 1236, the mosque was rebuilt as a Christian cathedral. From 1523 to 1599 during the Renaissance period, the maximum renovation and expansion were performed, and it became the current space structure. The building has been used as a Christian Catholic cathedral. Façade of the Mosque and Cathedral © Ayuntamiento de Cordoba

"The great model of the traditional courtyard of Cordoba and the inspiration for other courtyards is the courtyard of the Great Mosque-Cathedral. This large courtyard, one of the oldest open spaces in Cordoba, developed in parallel with the expansion and renovation of the temple. From the time of its construction, it combined a religious function with the role of the main square of the city.

Other important structures

Between the 8th and 13th centuries, about 300 mosques were built in the city of Cordoba. After the Christian Conquest in 1236, the buildings were reused and the old minarets became bell towers for new churches. In the 13th century, new churches were built in a hybrid Gothic-Mudejar style, such as the Church of San Francisco, the Church of San Nicolás and the Chapel of San Bartolomé. In the Jewish quarter, a synagogue was built in the 14th century and survived to the present day after being reused for various purposes.

Civic monuments

Many of the parish churches built after the Castilian conquest of Córdoba were built on top of mosques; in fact, some of their towers reuse the old minarets from which the call to prayer was made. Today, most of these buildings play an important religious and community role, as well as tourist, and remain the heart of the city's historic districts. These churches have distinctive features, such as their fortress-like appearance, rose windows in the façades (San Lorenzo, San Pablo, Santa Marina, etc.), a mixture of Romanesque, Gothic and Mudejar architectural styles, and in some cases Baroque spaces (San Agustín, San Francisco, etc.). The parish churches follow a unique model that gives their neighborhoods an architectural and monumental identity.

Most civic halls that have survived to the present day date from the 16th century onwards. Among them are the late Gothic San Jacinto Hospital (now the Palace of Conferences and Exhibitions), the San Pelajo Seminary, the Páez de Castillejo family mansion and the Marquis of Fuensanta del Valle mansion, all built in the 16th century. Other important structures, such as the Cardenal Salazar Hospital, date from the 18th century.

Traditional housing

In addition, other monuments such as the "Triunfos de San Rafael" (the city's decorative columns) and the "Puerta del Puente" gate also serve as elements that define the public space.

Besides civil and religious monuments, the urban fabric of the Historic City of Córdoba is largely made up of traditional dwellings belonging to different styles and periods, which have maintained a high degree of authenticity in terms of form, design, materials and uses.

"The two residential typologies that coexist in the historic centre are defined by their architectural features and the way of inhabiting. Due to the aristocratic character of the Medina, at least since the Islamic period, many ancestral and noble houses are scattered throughout the city. More modest dwellings are found in the periphery, in the Jewish quarter or in the area of the axelquia. However, both types of dwellings have elements in common, especially in relation to the architecture centered around the patio, which is the central element of the Cordovan dwelling and a defining element of the local culture and the way of inhabiting the city."

World Heritage Recommendation 313bis, p. 40.

A local perspective: the way of life in courtyard houses

The best example of Cordoba's housing style is a c o-house built around the water and planted courtyard (Casa Pattio). The courtyard adapts the Roman residence to Cordova's climate and cultural conditions, providing lighting, ventilation and coolness during the summer. The courtyard is a communal space and the center of family life. Other architectural styles include Casa Solariegas (ancestral houses) and corales (Nagaya).

Contribution by Cordoba City Council.

Cordoba's courtyard is diverse and conveys the memories of various civilizations living in this city. Currently, the traditional courtyard model in Cordoba has a dark entrance hall, which is a multifunctional organs of a house that incorporates light from the courtyard and supplies light and wind to the house. The walls are painted in white, and the pavement is composed of small cobblestones, forming an artistic pattern of not only decorated functions, but also evaporate the moisture of the ground and cool the atmosphere. In the oldest courtyard, there is a well that pumps water from the basement. In addition to this, there are flowers and plants such as lemon trees, jasmine, ivyselanium and aromatic plants, which play a role in decorations, shady provisions, and insect repellent. The traditional community lifestyle with Cordoba's courtyard can give many elements and inspiration to the current and future society. In such a space, inhabitants not only grow plant and fruit trees, but also nurture relationships with others, relationships with local communities, and relationships with the whole neighborhood. The center of the courtyard is a person. In a lifestyle with a courtyard, the shared environment is given priority. This tradition has created a concept of lif e-based and coexistence, despite being born from a simple community with shared space.

Calle Cruz Conde

The Cordoba History District is characterized by a dense and homogeneous urban structure originating in the Middle Ages, and has a narrow and twisted road, which emerges religious and citizen monuments. The genuineness of the historical area lies in the processing of the city, background, architectural tradition and technology, and public space.

You can still see the various development periods of this city, which has been built over many years. All archeological sites in the Roman cities, the Medina of the Islamic era, the Jewish district (Yudelia) can be read. Roman remains include a 1 6-span bridge built in the 1st century BC, an alkasal mosaic, a pillar of the 1st century of the BC, and a part of the Roman walls. Minaret, a worship area built during the Islamic era, is still existing and used as a church bell tower built later.

Calle de la Hoguera

"The culture of reuse is also located in areas outside the site of the World Heritage Site. In Axelchia, which was built in the 9th century, a church was built in a place where the mosque was once after conquering Christianity. The minalet remains as a bell tower, and some of these narrow roads have been stored, but the only major exception. Most of the gates and surrounding walls have been demolished, and churches, hospitals, and monasteries in the districts like Santiago and Santiago are still in the medieval Christ. It reminds me of the glory of the city. "
