The Saint Maurice Cathedral of Angers is the seat of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Angers in France.
Built between the 11th and 16th Centuries, It was classified in 1862 as a national monument of France for its mixture of Romanesque and Gothic architectural styles, especially the Angevin Gothic style, and for the stained glass windows, including the transept’s window of Saint Julian, considered to be a masterpiece of French 13th century glasswork.

The colorful and intricately arranged moat garden along the northern wall of the Angers Castle. The castle took shape in the first half of 13th century during the reign of Saint Louis (Louis IX), including its iconic striped towers. It has the rare distinction of never being conquered in its history. It also houses a museum of medieval tapestries with its amazing late 14th century Apocalypse Tapestry. But otherwise, the interior of the castle is rather underwhelming, compared to its outer walls.

Her self control has elapsed as her anger grows within. She orders them gone from the walls of her home and banishes them from ever returning in peace. Does this mean war? YES!!!
La Rocca Borromea di Angera è una costruzione fortificata situata nel comune di Angera (provincia di Varese), sulle sponde lombarde meridionali del Lago Maggiore. Si tratta di uno dei castelli meglio conservati del territorio lombardo.
Insieme con la Rocca di Arona era uno dei principali punti di controllo strategici del Lago Maggiore in epoca antica.
Da un punto di vista militare, trovandosi infatti su una collina calcarea alta 200 metri, domina non solo la parte meridionale del Lago Maggiore, ma ha anche una buona vista sulle Alpi, e questo permetteva un controllo anche in caso di invasioni dei nemici oltralpe. Il Lago Maggiore era un centro nevralgico per il trasporto dei materiali di costruzioni, quali il granito di Baveno e il marmo di Candoglia, per le grandi costruzioni di Milano, e dalle due fortezze si controllava che si pagassero le tasse dovute. Le uniche barche esenti dal pagamento delle imposte di circolazione erano quelle della Fabbrica del Duomo.
The Rocca Borromeo di Angera, or Rocca d'Angera, also called Borromeo Castle, is a castle that stands on a lakeside hilltop in the limits of the town of Angera in the Province of Varese on the Southern shores of Lago Maggiore. It is visible from across the lake from Arona, where originally stood another castle formerly owned by the Borromeo family.
Before 1227, the castle belonged to the Della Torre family, who lost the possession to the Visconti after the Battle of Desio (1277). In 1449, it passed into the ownership of the Borromeo family. It once belonged to the Visconti family, beginning with Bernabò Visconti and his wife, Beatrice della Scala. but it was purchased by the Borromeo family who expanded and refurbished the castle over the centuries. It still belongs to the Borromeo family. It is best known for it Hall of Justice (Sala di Giustizia) which still contains its original late 13th century depicting the victory of Ottone Visconti, archbishop of Milan, at the Battle of Desio. The castle suffered damage during bombardment in the second world war.
The castle also contains a Museo della Bambola (Doll Museum), founded in 1988 by the wish of Princess Bona Borromeo Arese, and displays over a thousand dolls made between the 18th century and the present day
