In 1543 work began on the house. The Tudor Tower on the east front dates from this period. The house contains an astonishing collection of art work, including the largest known van Dyke group portrait (of the 4th Earl and his family) and Rembrandt's Mother and has the added distinction of having had most of the state rooms designed by Inigo Jones, thought to be the first significant English architect

A first theatre was built here by Soufflot during the 18th century. Nevertheless, the theatre soon became too small and a brand new one in a neo-classical style has been rebuilt.
Arch. Antoine-Marie Chenavard and Jean-Marie Pollet
1830-31.
At the beginning of the 1980s, out of age and not meeting the needs any more, the Opera had to be renewed.
Arch. Jean Nouvel
1986-93.
Outside the opera house, Nouvel only kept the outer walls. He also dug new underground levels and added a semi-cylindrical dome that is used by dancers. On the opera house front wall, 8 muses have been kept in place (Uranie, the 9th one was removed to respect the symmetry of the building).

Este monumento, colocado aquí en 1950, es réplica del original que se halla en Loyola, y evoca el momento en que Íñigo de Loyola, herido, es llevado a su casa por unos porteadores.
En julio del 2005 se sustituyó este monumento -que era de piedra- por el actual, que es de bronce.
Está situado en una pequeña plazolea en l confluencia de la Avenida San Ignacio con la calle Estella y la calle García Castañón
El monumento está situado en el punto de la antigua muralla del castillo de Pamplona en el que cayó herido el que entonces era un joven capitán del ejército imperial llamado Iñigo de Loyola, que luchaba frente a las tropas francesas enviadas contra España por el rey francés Francisco I, al mando del general André de Foix, que más tarde serían derrotadas primero en el sitio de Logroño y más tarde en la batalla de Noain.
El ataque trataba de aprovechar la debilidad interna de Castilla a causa del levantamiento de los comuneros, y contaba con el apoyo de Enrique II de Navarra.
Cada vez que pasamos ante el Monumento a San Ignacio, estamos recordando a un guipuzcoano nacido en Azpeitia que combatía en Pamplona, pero no a favor de las tropas francesas y de Enrique II, sino al frente de los soldados del emperador Carlos I.

Though the construction of the Theory and Computer Sciences Building was announced in 2007, to me the interior feels very much like '60s brutalist construction. Which is not a critique at all; I'm rather fond of that style.
I love the concrete and sharp geometries here, along with the sand garden filling the inner courtyard spaces. The repeated vertical and horizontal lines help make the inside feel very modern, in keeping with the buildings purpose.
It houses Argonne's Blue Gene/Q supercomputer, among other things.
Next to Museum Fatahillah, there is a Puppet Museum or Museum Wayang.
Before it is known as the Puppet Museum, this building was called the Oud Batavia Museum or the Old Batavia Museum (opened in 1939 by the last Dutch Governor General in Batavia, Tjarda van Starkenborgh Staachouwer). The building is located in Jalan Pintu Besar Utara No.27.
In the past, on the plot of land where this museum is built, there were two churches: the New Holland Church or Nieuwe Hollandse Kerk (1736) and the Old Holland Church or Oude Hollandse Kerk (1640-1732). The New Holland Church was damaged due to an earthquake. Therefore, a new building was erected and this building is what we know now as the Puppet Museum.
As its name suggests, the museum houses a vast collection of Indonesian traditional puppets (wayang) from different places in Indonesia and even from abroad. Currently, the museum has around 5,147 puppets.

This building is still in use as a hotel but what not many people know is a church and cemetary sat on this spot. The church was gone by the time they wanted to put up the hotel in the late 1960s but the cemetary was still there. The graves were dug up and moved where i don't know. I have photos of the church yard when i find them i'll be sure to put them on.
