Rincón de la Victoria, Málaga, Spain, owns a unique place in Europe, Cueva del Tesoro (Treasure Cave). It is one of the only three marine caves known in the world. The other two are in Asia and Central America. For all the locals, visitors and tourists of Malaga it is a must see!

The history, archeology and legend are united in Cueva del Tesoro, also known as Cueva del Higuerón.

In its galleries were found remains of the Palaeolithic and the Bronze Age, as well as samples of Cave Art (Arte Rupestre).

In a comfortable walk through its cavities, you can enjoy the curious forms that water has shaped over millennia. Perhaps, with a bit of luck, you will find the famous treasure that, it is said, still remains in the cave.
Lucius Domitius Aurelianus Augustus was Roman Emperor from 270 to 275.

Born in humble circumstances, he rose through the military ranks to become emperor. During his reign, he defeated the Alamanni after a devastating war. He also defeated the Goths, Vandals, Juthungi, Sarmatians, and Carpi.

Aurelian restored the Empire's eastern provinces after his conquest of the Palmyrene Empire in 273. The following year he conquered the Gallic Empire in the west, reuniting the Empire in its entirety. He was also responsible for the construction of the Aurelian Walls in Rome, and the abandonment of the province of Dacia.

His successes were instrumental in ending the Roman Empire's Crisis of the Third Century, earning him the title Restitutor Orbis or "Restorer of the World".

Although Domitian was the first emperor who had demanded to be officially hailed as dominus et deus (master and god), these titles never occurred in written form on official documents until the reign of Aurelian.
"If you worship your enemy, you are defeated.

If you adopt your enemy's religion you are enslaved.

If you breed with your enemy you are destroyed."

— Polydoros of Sparta
Büdingen, a small medieval town in Hesse, Germany
"But no one will even ask us whether we do or do not will, when the spiritual strength of the West fails and the joints of the world no longer hold, when this moribund semblance of a culture caves in and drags all that remains strong into confusion and lets it suffocate in madness."
- Martin Heidegger
