The easiest way to build walls made of undressed boulders was to put them in such a way that they fit almost perfectly in the place of contact. Because perfect fit was very difficult to achieve, small spaces in the contact were filled with ground or crushed stone. Such walls were called cyclop walls. The most impressive monuments from that period can be found in Argolida, but the largest one is the citadel's wall in Mykenes. Undressed boulders were also used to build bridges. The oldest bridge in Europe is situated on the ancient way from Mykenes towards the present-day Epidauros in Kazarna.
Magnificent constructions made of natural stone used to be built as early as in the ancient times. Despite little knowledge in the field of mechanics, mathematics and engineering of the builders of those days neither the notion of slenderness nor the rules of the work of arch was known at that time the builders intuitively, or thanks to oral transmission of their masters, created constructions which can be admired till today.
The plot where Rondo Verona residence has been built is close to the street where the richest residents of pre-war Wroclaw used to live, i.e. Kaiser Wilhelm Strasse (present-day Powstańców Śląskich Street). There is a picturesque park near the street. Exclusive character of this building was ensured by an Italian investor, known in Wroclaw, Krakow and Poznan for many successful projects. The 13,5-thousand-sqm-building was opened in 2008. It is characterised by a very high standard and covered with an elegant, pre-war style, front facade.
Situated near the Wroclaw Square Market. Modern shape, incongrous to stylised tenement houses, with a multi-level car park. In spite of its arrogance it seems to be properly situated. Golden travertine, grey slate and aluminium-glass Reynaers grating reveal a true character of the building - disciplined and restrained.
