Everything is a Brand

Ernest Wilson Memorial Garden in Chipping Campden,...

August 23, 2024

This is a beautiful small garden straight off a main road in the Cotswold town of Chipping Campden. You enter through a small gated archway in a stone wall and a tranquil green garden haven hides behind it. (Do watch your head, it’s a low arch.) The garden was created in the 1970s to commemorate Ernest Henry Wilson who was born in Davies House, Lower Street, Chipping Campden in 1876 (the house now has a commemorative plaque). He went...

Farmworkers Monument in Santa Paula, California

August 23, 2024

Santa Paula has a rich history of agriculture dating back centuries, and many generations of farmworkers have made the city in Southern California a haven for fruits and vegetables. This community-driven memorial was founded to honor the thousands of individuals who have spent many backbreaking hours dedicated to the harvest of produce to feed Americans for centuries. When it debuted in 2010, it was the first monument dedicated to farmworkers in the United States. The monument includes two bronze statues of...

Quarter of Saint Theodore in Pula, Croatia

August 23, 2024

Along the stunning coast of Pula’s residential area is Saint Theodore’s Quarter, known as Četvrt Sv. Teodora in Croatian, and the home of many archaeological finds. The name potentially derives from a nearby Benedictine monastery dedicated to Saint Theodore and may have existed before the Byzantine administration. The Archaeological Museum of Istria excavated the area from 2005 to 2009, unearthing history that spanned three millennia. It covered 4,000 square meters with a maximum depth of eight meters. Uncovered were 27...

Why Medieval Women Sometimes Fought in Bloody...

August 23, 2024

Tucked within the Danish Royal Library in Copenhagen and the Bavarian State Library in Munich, rare medieval manuscripts depict something unusual, even for the Middle Ages—a man and woman fighting in a trial by combat. The man is drawn waist-deep in a hole armed with an edged club, while the woman circulates above, flinging what looks like a rock in a sock. Both are drawn with furrowed brows, fierce snarls, and bloodied limbs. You may have even seen these...

The Impressive Trickery of Spider-Tailed Horned Vipers

August 23, 2024

Each week, Atlas Obscura is providing a new short excerpt from our upcoming book, Wild Life: An Explorer’s Guide to the World’s Living Wonders (September 17, 2024). Over the mountains near the western Iranian desert, a peckish migrating lark spots a welcome sight: a big, juicy spider, out in the open like a pie on a windowsill. The lark descends upon the naive arachnid, little claws outstretched. And then: WHAP. The meal-seeker has become the meal, trapped in the...

Caravan Chicken in Queens, New York

August 22, 2024

For over two decades, this family-run Peruvian-Chinese restaurant in Astoria, Queens has been quietly turning out rotisserie birds that could give the roast chickens at far fancier Manhattan restaurants a run for their money. Whether you order by the quarter, half, or whole hen, you’ll be rewarded with burnished, glossy skin over impeccably seasoned meat accompanied by endless plastic cups of aji verde, a zippy, cilantro-forward sauce, for dunking. In pursuit of maximum flavor, bypass the standard sides such...

William N. Banton Tool Shop in La...

August 22, 2024

Now a feature of the Chas H. Reynolds Rest Area, the once-thriving tool shop was a main feature of Ladd Creek Canyon, providing a rest area for weary travelers and supplies for craftsmen. The historical building and water-wheel still stand, and were originally constructed in 1911. Banton once used the water-driven shop to create tools for his livestock ranch. During the harsh winter months, the water wheel is kept inside the cabin. Alongside is a monument, with an inscription...

Tradish's The Ancestor Cafe in Fort Langley,...

August 22, 2024

On the Fraser Valley’s riverbanks, Fort Langley National Historic Site delves into the Hudson’s Bay Company’s fur-trading history. Rough-hewn timber buildings recreate a snapshot of 19th-century life in the region. At the heart of the complex, Tradish’s The Ancestor Cafe, the brainchild of Chef Sarah Meconse Mierau, invites visitors to discover natural plant medicine rooted in Indigenous knowledge via homemade lemonades, jams, cappuccinos, and a range of savory dishes. From elk bannock tacos and bison sweet potato pie to...

Pierre de Couhard in Autun, France

August 22, 2024

Many questions remain unanswered about this unusual pyramidal structure overlooking the town of Autun. When was it built? What was its function? This structure is most likely a funerary monument, built near the road that linked Autun to Lyon. It is believed to have been constructed in the first century on one of the town’s ancient necropolises. The monument is made of solid masonry and has no interior chamber, so it is not known whether it was a mausoleum or...

Pitlochry Fish Ladder in Pitlochry, Scotland

August 22, 2024

Nestled in Scotland’s Perthshire region, the Pitlochry fish ladder is an engineering ingenuity and environmental conservation success. This structure, completed in 1951, was born out of a 1943 Act of Parliament that tasked the North of Scotland Hydro-Electric Board with protecting fish populations affected by their power schemes. Designed by the fish biologist John Berry, the ladder stretches an impressive 310 meters, featuring a series of 34 ascending pools. Each pool sits 50 centimeters higher than its predecessor, creating...

The Beautiful Art of Greece's 'Embroidered' Bread

August 22, 2024

Four years ago, I traded in the Midwest for sunny Athens. My wedding there last summer inspired me to learn more about my own cultural traditions, many of which didn’t come on the cross-Atlantic trip with my family when they emigrated. One day, I stumbled across the picture of an elaborately decorated loaf of bread at a Greek church ceremony. That photo was my first introduction to the embroidered breads of Greece. These loaves are often called ploumisto psomi...

Kigakurin Banshōji Temple in Nagoya, Japan

August 22, 2024

Ōsu is one of the busiest shopping areas of Nagoya as well as one of the “big three” of Japan’s electric towns, considered a hub of otaku subculture alongside Akihabara and Nipponbashi. Consisting of several arcades, Ōsu’s heart lies in Kigakurin Banshōji, a Buddhist temple that’s more than it seems. At first glance, Banshōji may not look much, as it blends in among the shops and restaurants, often unnoticed by tourists. Housed in a five-story concrete building since 1994,...

The Unlikely Popularity of Grape-Nuts Ice Cream

August 21, 2024

Ice cream is a food open to wild experimentation. Unique ice cream flavors can make international headlines, and travelers often go out of their way to try regional specialties. For example, in New England and Nova Scotia, some parlors serve Grape-Nuts ice cream—not as a modern novelty, either. The mixture of vanilla ice cream and Grape-Nuts predates the cereal-milk flavor trend by a century. Grape-Nuts—the crunchy breakfast cereal—are not a decadent ingredient, to say the least. Though they have...
