Le palais des papes, à Avignon, est la plus grande des constructions gothiques du Moyen ge. À la fois forteresse et palais, la résidence pontificale fut pendant le xive siècle le siège de la chrétienté d'Occident. Six conclaves se sont tenus dans le palais d'Avignon.
Le palais, qui est l'imbrication de deux bâtiments, le palais vieux de Benoît XII, véritable forteresse assise sur l'inexpugnable rocher des Doms, et le palais neuf de Clément VI, le plus fastueux des pontifes avignonnais, est non seulement le plus grand édifice gothique mais aussi celui où s'est exprimé dans toute sa plénitude le style du gothique international.

The Palais des Papes is a historical palace in Avignon, southern France, one of the largest and most important medieval Gothic buildings in Europe. One time fortress and palace, the papal residence was the seat of Western Christianity during the 14th century. Six papal conclaves were held in the Palais.
The Palais is actually made up of two buildings: the old Palais of Benedict XII which sits on the impregnable rock of Doms, and the new Palais of Clement VI, the most extravagant of the Avignon popes. Not only is the final combination the largest Gothic building of the Middle Ages, it is also one of the best examples of the International Gothic architectural style.

La cathédrale Notre-Dame des Doms est une cathédrale catholique romaine située à Avignon, à côté du Palais des papes d'Avignon. De style roman provençal, elle date de 1150, puis fut agrandie aux xive et xviie siècles par des chapelles latérales.
La Cathédrale Notre-Dame des Doms d'Avignon est située sur la partie nord d'Avignon intramuros. Elle a été construite sur une protubérance rocheuse au nord de la ville, le rocher des Doms, surplombant la rive gauche du Rhône.
Sa position sur le rocher, sa flèche imposante surmontée d'une vierge et sa proximité du Palais lui permettent à la fois de dominer la ville et d'être vue de très loin.

Avignon Cathedral (Cathédrale Notre-Dame des Doms d'Avignon) is a Roman Catholic cathedral, and a national monument of France, located in Avignon, above the Palais des Papes. It is the seat of the Archbishop of Avignon.
The cathedral is a Romanesque building, mainly of the 12th century, the most prominent feature of which is the gilded statue of the Virgin Mary which surmounts the western tower. Among the many works of art in the interior, perhaps the most beautiful is the mausoleum of Pope John XXII, a masterpiece of Gothic carving of the 14th century.

This building was shut down in 1986, due to a contract with the Cumberland Amusement Company. The building is closed, but was bought out by a private group, and is currently being renovated to be a live entertainment center, and multi-use facility. The Theater is located along Main St., which is also old US70S (and TN1)

In 1825, the young landscape painter Charles Mozin discovered Trouville, a little fishing port in Normandy. In Paris, he exhibited his Trouville paintings to other artists who later followed him to the new found paradise : Isabey, Monet, Corot, Boudin, Proust, Dumas, Flaubert. During the Second Empire, from 1852 to 1870, Trouville became a very famous seaside resort. It was during this glorious period that villas, splendid hotels and casinos were built along the beach. Quiter and less expensive than its neighbour town Deauville, Trouville is since the 19th century a much appreciated tourist destination for Parisians and other French and international travellers.

In 1825, tânǎrul pictor de peisaje Charles Mozin a descoperit Trouville, un mic port pescǎresc din Normandia. La Paris, şi-a expus picturile având ca subiect Trouville altor artişti, care ulterior l-au urmat pentru a descoperi noul paradis: Isabey, Monet, Corot, Boudin, Proust, Dumas, Flaubert. In timpul celui de-al doilea Imperiu (1852-1870), Trouville a devenit o foarte cunoscutǎ staţiune maritimǎ. In aceastǎ perioadǎ de glorie s-au construit splendidele vile şi hoteluri, dar şi cazinourile din lungul plajei. Mai liniştitǎ şi mai puţin scumpǎ decât staţiunea învecinatǎ, Deauville, Trouville a devenit încǎ din secolul al XIX-lea o destinaţie turisticǎ foarte apreciatǎ pentru parizieni, ca şi pentru cǎlǎtori din toatǎ Franţa şi din alte ţǎri.

A Brief History of Architectural Model Making - Part 1
Model making is a key facet of any successful architectural programme. People may think that architectural model making only began when the technological revolution gave us the ability to build accurate and exact replicas, but actually architectural model making has a rich tradition stretching back through the ages.
Quite simply, where there has been architecture there has been architectural making. Building a scale model of a proposed building is one of the best ways to bring a building to life. The main function that an architectural model serves these days is a selling one - an architectural model is presented to a potential financial backer or client.
The idea behind a model is to further assist the financial backer or client to understand exactly what the building is intended to offer and will therefore enlighten them further as to whether it may be something they are interested in.

The regimental staff were billeted in the house and regimental headquarters company were billited in the grounds.
The Anglican and Catholic Cathedrals.
Catholic: the first Church was erected in Goulburn in 1843. It was totally demolished to make way for this grand Gothic cathedral in 1871. But the cathedral with its transepts, sanctuary, chapels and tower was not completed until 1887.It was officially opened by Cardinal Moran in 1890 when the fine pipe organ was installed but not consecrated until 1898. It is built with a local slightly green igneous stone with Marulan sandstone quoins and dressings. The diocese was created in 1864 but the first Irish Bishop died before he reached Goulburn. It was a later Bishop Lanigan who selected the architects (Stombuco and Spadacini) for the new cathedral in 1871. At the same time he commissioned St. Patrick’s College across the road which started teaching boys in 1874.(It merged with Marian girls college in 2000 to become Trinity College on a different site). The Catholic Conclave of buildings includes the Bishop’s palace and the presbytery for the priests designed by Goulburn architect E Manfred and completed in 1909 with its central full height Gothic gable with bay windows on the ground floor. Inside the cathedral make sure you see the Caroline Chisholm 875,000 piece mosaic mural behind the organ. It was unveiled in 2011.
Anglican: Queen Victoria via Letters Patent established the diocese and cathedral in 1863. Bricks from the original 1839 church were used to build it with white Bundanoon sandstone in 1884 to a design by noted colonial architect Edmund Blacket. Work began in 1874 and took ten years to complete at a cost of £25,000. The fine turreted Blacket bell tower, only completed in 1988, now has 12 bells with the last two being added in 2005. The diocese now includes Canberra which was added 1950. The interior is exceptionally fine with tracery windows, one of the finest carved Bishop’s thrones in Australia and interior woodwork and furniture designed by Edmund Blacket. The font and pulpit were carved in England.
IJdock is a small peninsula in the river IJ, created in 2012, which has an apartmentbuilding, the Room Mate Aitana Hotel, an office building and the new Paleis van Justitie.
The manor house is a timber framed building built in the 1500s and 1600s and is now split into 3 smaller houses - its a terraced house but not like the ones elsewhere on this site. The white gate to the right of the manor house is the entrance to Manor Farm.
The house is also referred to as Justice Bradshaws house as it reputedly housed Judge John Bradshaw, one of the Judges who condemned Charles I to death as part of Oliver Cromwell's struggle to establish Parliament as the primary source of power in the English Civil war (1649).
