The Tower of London is, as well as a national monument of cultural and historical interest, a Royal Palace and Fortress of Her Majesty. It´s a castle that finds itself on the shores of the river Thames, right in the centre of the city of London. This fortress was founded in 1066 and, from the 12th century, it was used as a prison although that wasn´t the idea when it was built. But it always served as a reference point for all Londoners. In the 14th century, when a new king was introduced, processions took place from the tower to Westminster Abbey. It also served as a Royal Mint, arms deposit and treasury amongst other things. And because the uses of this castle were always tied to the artillery, it deteriorated so much that it could never be used as a royal residence. In 1988, UNESCO declared it a World Heritage Site for being a medieval Norman construction. Today, the tower is an attractive for tourists and aside from the tower itself, you can see the British Crown Jewels and other royalty objects.

German Lieutenant Colonel Adolf Eichmann (1906-1962) was the direct responsible for the labeled by himself The Final Solution (to the Jew problem), word that the Nazi systematic extermination plan was known for the Jewish population during the second world war. Eichmann himself took personal concern with a painstakingly terrifying efficiency of the transportations of the Jews to the extermination and concentration camps. Since his execution in Israel in 1961 his figure has been one of the most complex and controversial of all the Nazi murderers due to the amazing simplicity of his personality, at least in appearance. That is the opinion expressed in the well known book by Hannah Arednt Eichmann in Jerusalem, a study of evils banality. Arednt was astonished with Eichmann pusillanimous intellectuality and that a man with such a low capability of thought could have been one of history´s prevalent mass murderers. This along with the reiterative insistence from Eichmann that he was a government employee that only obeyed orders, took the philosopher to elaborate a theory that the acts of Eichmann could have been due to the power of coercion and subjugation which any citizen can be a victim of in a regime of totalitarianism. Arendt was not the only one to point out that one of the most perturbing aspects of Eichmann, is that far from being a monster he was a simple human being and as so he was like the rest of us, capable of committing the worst atrocities feeling at the same time that all he was doing was obeying orders without any kind of measurement of feelings or personal hostility; Precisely...

The Astronomical Clock, which is located in the city of Prague, is a medieval astronomical clock that was installed, at first, in 1410, making it the oldest of its kind in the world and the only one that still works today. The clock is on the Old Town of Prague, in the square with the same name, and the mechanism bases itself in three components, and despite being hundreds of years old, it still works perfectly, although it´s had to be fixed many times throughout time. Actually, in 1945 during an uprising in the city, it caught fire. The oldest part of the clock is the astronomical dial that dates from before 1410, when the watchmaker Mikuláš de Kadaň and Jan Šindel, a mathematics and astronomy professor from the Charles University created it. This is not only one of the city´s most important monuments, but also one of mankind´s and it´s the only one of its kind that still works.
