See a form, investigate its function and trace a change of use. Keep observation, source evidence and local legend separate.

Ancient columns, an arched entrance and people in Split’s Peristyle courtyard — Peristyle photographed on 11 May 2015. Visible later additions are not individually dated here. JoJan · 11 May 2015 · CC BY 3.0. Existing web derivative resized to a 1600-pixel bound and compressed as WebP; no crop or colour change. Reused unchanged. Image record ↗

1. Photo / observation: Describe a column and a window separately in the Peristyle image. Write one visible observation and one dating question that the image alone cannot answer.

2. Below / above: Sketch a vault and the wall that supports it. Use the museum source to distinguish what survives below from what it helps reconstruct above.

3. Earlier / later: Choose a row from the three-building comparison. Record its earlier function, later use and source. Add one intermediate question still worth investigating.

4. Your own city / reuse: Choose a building near you that has changed its use. Separate a visible detail, a documented former function and an unverified local story.
