Shell Grotto

Underground caves lined with millions of shells, and no one knows who built them.

The Shell Grotto in Margate, Kent, England, stands as one of history’s most baffling mysteries.

Discovered in 1835, this hidden passageway is adorned with over 4.6 million meticulously arranged shells, forming elaborate mosaics that cover every inch of its walls and ceilings.

The designs are precise and intricate, depicting symbols, patterns and figures whose meanings remain shrouded in mystery.

What makes the grotto so compelling is that no one knows who created it, when, or why.

Some speculate it dates back to ancient times, possibly as far as the Roman or Phoenician period, while others believe it was constructed in the medieval era or even the 18th or 19th century by an eccentric individual.

Was it a secret temple, a meeting place for a hidden society, or a mysterious art project?

Theories are abundant, but definitive answers are nonexistent.

The Shell Grotto is more than just a stunning piece of craftsmanship. It’s a riddle that continues to confound experts and captivate visitors from around the world.

Real-life Wonka

[useless-catalanfacts]

Inside the shop L'Art del Vitrall in Sabadell (Barcelona Metropolitan Ambit, Catalonia), where the artisan stained glass maker Joan Serra i Renom (born 1952) works.

In the photos above, Joan is restoring some stained glass from the Euterpe theatre-cinema, built in Sabadell in 1893 and demolished in 2006. Joan works with stained glass in historical buildings that are still standing, but has also saved and restored stained glass from demolished buildings from the 1800s and 1900s.
