What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like.

Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to !historyartifacts@lemmy.world

Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world

Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

What makes it abandoned? Was I manned when it was new but then people stopped monitoring it? I thought they just kinda start out abandoned. You set them up, then leave them alone.

Probably because Yugoslavia isn't a country anymore and it may not be marking a modern border.

I’d call that “obsolete” then.
An obsolete obelisk.
