L'église de Cunault a été édifiée du XI au XIIIè siècle. Elle faisait partie d'un prieuré bénédictin dépendant de l'abbaye de Tournus en Bourgogne. Les sculptures de Cunault sont célèbres avec 223 chapiteaux auxquels s'ajoutent les clés de voute, les corniches et les arcades. On peut observer les traces du décor peint très coloré qui, au Moyen Âge, soulignait les grandes lignes architecturales de l'église.

The Barnet Odeon Theatre, was designed by Edgar Simmons and was taken over by Odeon during construction. Hence, although listed as an "original" Odeon, it bears little in common with the appearance of the circuit design. Note the stage with the Odeon lettering at the rear - this was higly visible for a large area. In 2016 this was sold to and rebranded Everyman, continuing as a cinema.

Across Cross Bayou. Formerly a Kansas City Southern line, now abandoned. Not long for this world, as I recall.
The Pearl Assurance Building was begun in 1954 and completed a year later. It replaced a rather more splendid building that was destroyed in World War II. It looks like this under its cladding. Despite the time of its design, it looks better than many, including the proposed replacement for the building on Edinburgh's South Bridge and Cowgate that burned down in the big fire of 2002.

A big picture view of the Tysons West project, which includes an urban Walmart. Additional buildings are planned if the entire development is approved.
Next to a small green stands the parish church of St. Edmund's. A church has stood on this site since about 1200, with the current building dating from 1460. It is built from stone shipped in from Caen in France, with local flint used for the detailed patterns. The tower soars 100 feet above ground and contains a peal of 8 bells. This imposing building is the main survivor of the once prosperous medieval town which was destroyed by two major fires. Is now one of the town’s landmarks and can be spotted towering over the village from quite a distance.
The surrounding churchyard is extensive. It does not contain any truly spectacular monuments but the many carved 18th century and a number of Victorian headstones make it well worth a visit. There are a number of what appear to be Jewish gravestones - a bit of a mystery as headstones marked with the Star of David are not usually found in parish churchyards. The most striking monument is situated on the south side of the church. It commemorates the architect William Bardwell who died in 1853, and was possibly designed by him. The grade II listed monument comprises a rectangular sarcophagus that is resting on a square plinth which is inset with headstones of Bardwell family members buried here. Red ceramic tiles spell out names and dates of those commemorated in single band around monument. The sarcophagus is decorated with architectural mouldings. It has square corner columns of marble with capitals that are surmounted by crocketed and cross-gabled finials. Only a few of the glazed tiles that used to adorn its walls remain.
Inside, this beautiful church has many interesting features. The most famous is Southwold Jack, who represents a soldier from the Wars of the Roses. He is dressed in armour and holds a sword and battle axe, which rings a bell to tell the congregation that the service is about to start! The font has an elaborate cover, which is a staggering 24-feet high! The original cover was destroyed during the reformation in 1643, with this replacement made in 1935. Finally, the east window depicts scenes of Kind Edmund's martyrdom and was installed in 1954 after the original window was blown out by a German bomb in 1943.
Het huis De Spiegel aan het Goudenleeuwplein in Gent is een middeleeuws huis van Doornikse kalksteen. De gevels van het huis De Spiegel hebben ook een uniek verleden. De oorspronkelijke gevel bevond zich aan de kant van het huidige Klein Turkije en keek uit over het 9de-eeuwse kerkhof dat verbonden was aan de Sint-Niklaaskerk. De imposante gevel was echter geen partij voor de Sint Niklaaskerk, die in de 15de eeuw uitbreidde en de aandacht van de vele voorbijgangers onherroepelijk naar zich toe trok.
De nieuwe voorgevel kwam aan de kant van het Goudenleeuwplein en daar is hij vandaag, in erg verbouwde versie, nog steeds. Bij onderzoek van het huis in de jaren negentig werden nissen gevonden in de 13de-eeuwse buitengevel wat een hoogst uitzonderlijk gebruik was toen. Binnenin het huis werd een kleine muur gevonden met majolica-tegels als bekleding.

Dating from 1072, the Castle was the seat of the Prince Bishops until 1832, when it became the foundation college of Durham University. Contains the Norman Chapel, Great Hall, and the 57ft high ‘Black Staircase’ - made of oak. Amazingly, the castle’s 15th century kitchen is still in use. A guided tour will show you more about the past and present day life of the castle. Please check times of tours.
Durham is a small city and main settlement of the City of Durham district of County Durham in North East England.
Durham is situated 13 miles (21 km) to the south west of Sunderland, in North East England. The River Wear flows north through the city, enclosing the centre on three sides to create Durham's "peninsula". Durham is a hilly city, claiming to be built upon the symbolic seven hills. Upon the most central and prominent position high above the Wear, the cathedral dominates the skyline. The steep riverbanks are densely wooded, adding to the picturesque beauty of the city. West of the city centre, another river, the River Browney, drains south to join the Wear to the south of the city.
Durham won the Large Town award in the Britain in Bloom awards of 2005.
Archeological evidence suggests a history of settlement at Durham since roughly 2000 BC. The present city can clearly be traced back to 995 AD, when a group of monks from Lindisfarne chose the strategic high peninsula as a place to settle with the body of Saint Cuthbert, that had previously lain in Chester-le-Street, founding a church there.

About the Qutub Minar
Qutub Minar also Qutb Minar, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Located in Delhi, India. The Qutub Minar was constructed with red sandstone and marble, and is the tallest minaret in India, with a height of 72.5 meters (237.8 ft), contains 379 stairs to reach the top, and the diameter of base is 14.3 meters whereas the last store is of 2.7 meters. The Construction was commenced by Qutb-ud-din Aibak in 1192 and completed by Iltutmish. The Qutub Minar is notable for being one of the earliest and most prominent examples of Indo-Islamic architecture. It is surrounded by several other ancient and medieval structures and ruins, collectively known as Qutub complex.
Qutub Minar in red and buff sandstone is the second highest tower in India, after the Fateh Burj or "Victory Tower" at Chappar Chiri village in Punjab’s Mohali district. A projected balcony encircling the Minar is supported by stone brackets which are decorated with honeycomb designs, more conspicuously so in the first story.
Inspired by the Minaret of Jam in Afghanistan and wishing to surpass it, Qutb-ud-din Aibak, the first Muslim ruler of Delhi, commenced construction of the Qutub Minar in 1193; but conical shafts, separated by balconies carried on Muqarnas corbels. The minaret is made of fluted red sandstone covered with intricate carvings and verses from the Qur'an. Numerous inscriptions in Arabic and Nagari characters in different places of the Minar reveal the history of Qutb. According to the inscriptions on its surface it was repaired by Firoz Shah Tughlaq (AD 1351-88) and Sikandar Lodi (AD 1489-1517).

Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque, to the northeast of Minar was built by Qutbu'd-Din Aibak in AD 1198. It is the earliest mosque built by the Delhi Sultans. It consists of a rectangular courtyard enclosed by cloisters, erected with the carved columns and architectural members of 27 Hindu and Jain temples[citation needed], Later, a coffee arched screen was erected and the mosque was enlarged,by Shams ud Din Iltutmish (AD 1210-35) and Allaud-din Khilji. The Iron Pillar in the courtyard bears an inscription in Sanskrit in Brahmi script of 4th century AD, according to which the pillar was set up as a Vishnudhvaja (standard of Lord Vishnu) on the hill known as Vishnupada in memory of a mighty king named Chandra. A deep socket on the top of the ornate capital indicates that probably an image of Garuda was fixed into it. It is situated in Delhi.
The Qutub Minar comprises several superposed flanged and cylindrical shafts, separated by balconies carried on Muqarnas corbels. The minaret is made of fluted red sandstone covered with intricate carvings and verses from the Qur'an. The Qutub Minar is itself built on the ruins of the Lal Kot, the Red Citadel in the city of Dhillika, the capital of the Tomars and the Chauhans, the last Hindu rulers of Delhi. The complex initially housed 27 ancient Hindu and Jain temples, which were destroyed and their debris used to build the Qutub minar. One engraving on the Qutub Minar reads, "Shri Vishwakarma prasade rachita" (Conceived with the grace of Vishwakarma.)
The Zürich Seilbahn or Polybahn started in 1889 and still runs between the central station area and the university buildings on the hill. www.stadt-zuerich.ch/vbz/de/index/die_vbz/mitbetreute_bah...

Historia del Santuario
En el lugar donde Fr. Nicolás de Zamora colocó, hacia el año de 1643, la imagen de la Virgen de El Pueblito, a medio camino del Pueblo de San Francisco Galileo a la Pirámide o Gran Cué, se construyó una ermita de adobe en donde permaneció la imagen de la Virgen.
En 1714 se construyó una segunda ermita, en el lugar donde estuvo el ex panteón municipal. En esta Ermita permaneció la imagen 22 años, mientras se construía el Santuario actual, a donde fue trasladada la venerable imagen el 5 de febrero de 1736.
A decir de las crónicas, fue el capitán Pedro Urtiaga quien aportó los fondos para la obra, en señal de gratitud por un favor alcanzado por la intercesión de la Santísima Virgen de El Pueblito.
En el año de 1743, el maestro canterero Ignacion Mariano de Las Casas ejecutó las obras del Camarín de la Virgen, quedando concluido totalmente el Santuario en enero de 1745.
Durante la Guerra de Reforma se perdió el retablo barroco que adornaba el Altar aspi como numerosos tesoros artísticos, siendo sustituido posteriormente por otro de estilo neoclásico.
Debido a los daños que había sufrido el tempo durante la época de la Reforma, fue necesario realizar trabajos de restaruación y remodelación, mismo que tuvieron lugar en 1875 y 1906. En esta segunda fecha, se renovaron también las pinturas y se colocaron vitrales, además de cambiar el piso por uno de madera.
Tambien se amplio el templo conectándolo con el Camarín de la Virgen en donde estaba un ciprés de cantera que servía de trono a la Virgen, obra del maestro canterero Librado Saavedra.
Estas obras fueron inauguradas en 1910, por el Excelentísimo Señor Obispo de Querétaro, Don Manuel Rivera.
En 1971 la antigua sala guardianal se conectó con la nave lateral del Santuario, convirtiéndose en la Capilla de la Pasión.
En 1996, con motivo del cincuentenario de la Coronación Pontificia, se realizaron importantes trabajos en el Santuario, tales como el nuevo Altar de mármol con altorrelieves en bronce y el cambio de piso por uno de mármol.
El antiguo baptisterio se remodeló convirtiéndose en Capilla Votiva.
Al año siguiente, se modernizó el ciprés del Camarín de la Virgen, con un sistema hidráulico que permite colocar a la imagen de la Virgen a nivel de la planta baja para que los fieles puedan verla de cerca.
Dos años mas tarde, la antigua Sacristía se convirtió en la Capilla del Santísimo, en donde se colocarón el antigua Altar y el manifestador.
En fechas recientes, se han continuado las obras de embellecimiento y remodelación, tales como la colocación de hermosos vitrales en los ventanales del Santuario.
