Mirabell Palace a historic building in the city of Salzburg, Austria.
The palace was built in 1606 on the shore of the Salzach River north of the medieval city walls, at the behest of Prince-Archbishop Wolf Dietrich Raitenau. The Archbishop suffered from gout and had a stroke the year before; to evade the narrow streets of the city, he decided to erect a pleasure palace for him and his mistress Salome Alt. Allegedly built within six months according to Italian and French models, it was initially named Schloss Altenau.
In 1815 the later King Otto of Greece was born here while his father the Wittelsbach crown prince Ludwig I of Bavaria served as stadtholder in the former Electorate of Salzburg. The current Neoclassical appearance dates from about 1818, when the palace was restored after a blaze. Archbishop Maximilian Joseph von Tarnóczy resided here from 1851 to 1863. The father of Hans Makart worked here as a chamberlain. Joachim Haspinger, Capuchin priest and a leader of the Tyrolean Rebellion, spent his last year in a small flat.
The palace was purchased by the City of Salzburg in 1866. After World War II it was temporarily used for the mayor's office and housed several departments of the municipal administration.
The Mirabellgarten (the palace's gardens) was laid out under Prince-Archbishop Johann Ernst von Thun from 1687 according to plans designed by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. In its geometrically-arranged gardens are mythology-themed statues dating from 1730 and four groups of sculpture (Aeneas, Hercules, Paris and Pluto), created by Italian sculptor Ottavio Mosto from 1690. It is noted for its boxwood layouts, including a sylvan theatre (Heckentheater) designed between 1704 and 1718. An orangery was added in 1725.
The gardens were made accessible to the public under Emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria. Up to today, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Salzburg. Several scenes from The Sound of Music were filmed here. Maria and the children sing 'Do-Re-Mi' while dancing around the Pegasus fountain and using the steps as a musical scale.

View up Mostowa Street in Warsaw’s New Town to the Church of the Holy Spirit. Mostowa is a typical New Town street, rebuilt in the late 17th and early 18th Centuries in what were then the latest styles after destruction by the Swedes, and then again in the late 20th Century, in fidelity to the baroque period, after destruction by the Germans.
The Church of the Holy Spirit in Warsaw is a church at 3 Długa Street, in Warsaw's New Town.
The church was originally built in the Gothic style alongside a hospital in the 14th century. It was probably the first hospital of this type in the Mazovian region and was located just outside the walls of the Warsaw Old Town. It was founded by Janusz the Elder, Duke of Warsaw, and handed over to the city in 1388.
This building, however, burned during the disastrous Swedish-Brandenburgian Invasion of Poland in 1655-60. In 1699 the foundation stone was laid for the new church, which was built from 1707 to 1717 in the Baroque style by architects Józef Piola and Józef Szymon Bellotti. The church became home to the Pauline order, and remains so until today.
In 1944, during the Warsaw Uprising, the church was almost completely destroyed by the German Army; the interior of the church and vaulting burnt down—but the main altar survived. The church was rebuilt in 1956 in the same form as it was before World War II.
The New Town of Warsaw, established by the early 15th Century, is on the one hand only new in relation to the Old Town; on the other hand, it has been almost completely rebuilt since 1954, after being almost completely destroyed by German bombardment during the Warsaw Uprising.

Wentworth Woodhouse was largely the creation of Thomas Watson-Wentworth, Lord Malton from 1728, earl of Malton from 1734, and marquess of Rockingham from 1746. The building was developed in two main phases. The first, the west side, dates from between 1724 and 1728 and is constructed of brick. The design has been attributed to William Thornton, even though he died as early as 1722, because it makes use of ideas from Rossi's 'Studio di architettura civile' (1702), a source used in other buildings by Thornton, including Beningbrough Hall. (The second phase was focussed on the east side - which is gigantic in scale - dating from between 1731 and 1751 and faced in stone. It was begun by Ralph Tunnicliffe and completed by Henry Flitcroft). The earlier west front is brick in Flemish bond. The centre section is faced with ashlar sandstone, which is also used for the dressings. This front is two storeys high with single storey wings above half-basements. At the centre are four giant Corinthian pilasters above a rusticated half basement. The door surround is concave with pilasters set into the curve. The frieze contains a carved bird, perhaps a parrot, and there is a cartouche above. The Venetian window, above, is unusual in being half blind. The sash windows on either side have shaped pediments at ground floor level, and, at first floor level, aprons with carved trophies of arms in relief. A large coat of arms breaks through the open pediment and the window frame, and the frieze is decorated with serpents and griffins. The cornice has carved modillions. The parapet has ashlar panels which, in the wings, are infilled with brick.
A Baroque church, the facade is distinctive with twisted columns on both levels. The Corinthian columns of the second level has 1/3 of the shaft near the base in twisted form while the upper portion has a smooth surface. The topmost portion of the four-storey belltowers are balustered and decorated with huge scrolls. The tympanum of the pediment has a pair of chalice-like decoration and towards the end of the raking cornice urn-like vases the pediment terminates. With its recent renovation, only the facade and the dome at the transept retained the classic design.

STA. ANA CHURCH, MANILA FACADE (from www.nationalmuseum.gov.ph/2021/10/28/built-heritage-tradi... )
Sta. Ana Church, formerly known as the Our Lady of the Abandoned Parish. Located in a declared and protected Heritage Zone in the district of Sta. Ana in Manila City, the parish church tracing its origins to the 1500s is also notable for being the site and setting of two declared National Cultural Treasures of the country, the Camarin dela Virgen and the Sta. Ana Site Museum. The Parish Church is a significant example of enduring architectural and cultural Filipino heritage.
The Sta. Ana Church is a Spanish colonial period church. Its site was established by the Spanish Franciscan Missionaries in 1578, in the first settlement established outside Intramuros. Originally of nipa and bamboo make, construction of a larger church in stone begun around 1720 and finished in 1725 upon the direction of then parish priest, Fr. Vicente Ingles. In time, the church became known as Our Lady of the Abandoned Parish, as it also houses the centuries old and miraculous image of Nuestra Señora de los Desamparados, which was brought by Fr. Ingles from Spain.
Over the centuries, Sta. Ana church has suffered the inclemency of tropical weather and has survived major earthquakes. Fortunately, it was saved from World War II, while the rest of Manila burned down, the town and the church stood unscathed. In 1977, major restoration was undertaken by the National Artist Juan F. Nakpil with the assistance of Engineer Arturo Mañalac to bring out the church’s original appearance for the town of Sta. Ana’s 400th anniversary.

O túmulo de Jean-Baptiste Colbert, importante ministro do rei Luís XIV de França, está situado na Igreja de Santo Eustáquio, em Paris. Criado em 1687 pelos escultores Antoine Coysevox e Jean-Baptiste Tuby, este monumento funerário homenageia Colbert, que faleceu em 1683 e desejou ser sepultado naquela igreja. O seu túmulo, localizado numa alcova, reflete a sua posição na sociedade francesa da época. Curiosamente, apenas as pernas de Colbert permanecem sepultadas lá, pois o restante dos seus restos mortais foi transferido para as catacumbas de Paris em 1787. O monumento é considerado um bem patrimonial significativo, classificado como Monumento Histórico pelo Ministério da Cultura francês, destacando o seu valor artístico e histórico.
