The archaeological site of Moray in the Cusco Region of Peru is at an elevation of 3,500 m (11,500 ft). The site contains unusual Inca ruins consisting of several enormous terraced circular depressions, the largest of which is approximately 30 m (98 ft) deep. As with many other Inca sites, it also has a sophisticated irrigation system. The purpose of these depressions is uncertain, but their depth, design, and orientation with respect to wind and sun creates a temperature difference of as much as 15 Â°C (27 Â°F) between the top and the bottom. It is possible that this large temperature difference was used by the Inca to study the effects of different climatic conditions on crops. Speculation about the site has led to discussion about Moray as an Inca agricultural experiment station.

Luanda, Angola: the Cidadela stadium is a late colonial period venue, completed in 1972, it boasted a capacity of 60,000 spectators, although the actual seating capacity is currently limited to 40,000 due to safety regulations. This massive stadium serves as the home ground for several Angolan football clubs and is a frequent venue for national team matches. Despite its significance, the Estádio da Cidadela has also been marred by tragedy, most notably a deadly stampede that occurred during a New Year's Eve celebration in 2013. Home to several teams in the Angolan league (Girabola): Petro Atlético, Sport Luanda e Benfica, and Clube Desportivo Primeiro de Agosto.
