La Bastida

La Bastida (Totana, Murcia) is one of the most important archaeological sites of Prehistory in Europe.

If you want to know the Argaric culture, here is a good opportunity. Good site, quite advanced excavations and the explanation of the guides is very complete. You also have a well-conditioned interpretation center and ample parking.

Spännande att bli guidad runt i området och få höra om livet för så länge sedan

It was a very interesting excursion although we do not have much interest or knowledge of archeology. We were extremely lucky to get there without tickets and find a group, usually you can't get in without a reservation. It charges 5.60 eur per person, you can enter with the dog.

Bengtskär Lighthouse

Towering 52 meters above the sea, Bengtskär lighthouse is the tallest one in Scandinavia. The building started in in 1905 after the shipwreck of S/S Helsingfors and was completed in 1906. The lighthouse was designed by architect Florentin Granholm. On December a special petrol lantern, designed and built in Paris, was brought to Bengtskär and installed atop the tower.

German fleet bombarded Bengstkär in the First World War in 1914. Since the Gulf of Finland was heavily mined, it was not until 1919 that the surrounding seas were declared safe for shipping, that the light was lit again.

After the war the military value of Bengtskär increased as part of the defence system of independent Finland. In Second World War (1941) Soviet Union made a suprise attack to island. After a bloody battle, the small Finnish garrison emerged victorious. Intermittent repairs to the facility continued during the post-war period.
