Le Vieux Moulin de Monte Carlo - 2


Here you see the double millstone. See yesterday's post for more on this relic from Roman times - the olive oil mill of Monte Carlo.

The smaller photograph shows the millstone from a different angle, looking down on the square. On the far side is the church and on the left - the police station. You can just see the fountain in the centre. A better view of the fountain is seen by clicking on the link.

    Roman era. That is amazing. I also liked your post yesterday. I wonder how many years it will take for these two sink out of sight?

  4. Did not realize at first what it was. From the thumbnail it looks like a big barbell!
