Not a Royal Park but the borough's, and the ruin at its centre was demolished rather than bombed flat. Three Japanese gardens of three different dates, an opera season older than its company, peafowl nobody has counted, and an area no two official sources agree on.
A commercial property scheme that only half happened, white stucco terraces that are mostly post-war rebuilds, a new garden opened in April 2026, the day forty people died on the lake, and a statutory register entry that its own list entries contradict four times over.
Westminster approved the Queen Elizabeth II National Memorial in April 2026, and it will replace the Blue Bridge and move Marlborough Gate. Where the park came from, the attribution to drop, the pelicans, the monuments, and the figures its own authorities disagree about.
This is the ground of the colony's first farm, and the crop failed. The garden that followed in 1816 is the oldest in Australia — a claim Tasmania's own botanical gardens concede. Two things older accounts promise are no longer there: the flying-foxes were driven out in 2012, and the Tropical Centre's pyramid glasshouse was demolished in 2015.
Cadiz is Atlantic, not Mediterranean: one of the oldest cities in western Europe, with Cape Trafalgar, the sherry towns and the Sierra de Grazalema in its province.
Barcelona Zoo in the Parc de la Ciutadella: the orca, the dolphins and Snowflake the albino gorilla have all gone, and the zoo is deliberately changing to a conservation model.
Barcelona's old harbour, remade for the 1992 Olympics: the Rambla de Mar footbridge, the aquarium, the Columbus monument lift, Barceloneta beach and the closed IMAX.
The hill above the port: the castle, the Magic Fountain, the MNAC, the Miro foundation, the Mies pavilion, the Olympic ring and the gardens, with three separate cable-hauled ways up.
The Botanical Garden, Insectarium and Biodôme sit together in the east of the city as part of Espace pour la vie. Two of the three have been rebuilt since 2018, and the Insectarium was replaced outright.
Mount Royal is the hill the city is named after, carrying a park of some 200 hectares designed by Frederick Law Olmsted. The illuminated cross is currently dark, with relighting expected in autumn 2027.
The largest reservoir in the United States fell to its lowest level since it first filled, in August 2026. The elevations at which the Hoover Dam stops generating, what the shoreline looks like now, and why the Colorado River rules are being rewritten.
