Chowmahalla Palace, Hyderabad, India
Chowmahalla Palace or Chowmahallatuu (4 Palaces), is a palace of the Nizams of Hyderabad state. It was the seat of the Asaf Jahi dynasty and was the official residence of the Nizams of Hyderabad while they ruled their state. The palace remains the property of Barkat Ali Khan Mukarram Jah, heir of the Nizams. In Persian, Chahar means four and in Arabic Mahalat (plural of Mahal) means palaces, hence the name Chowmahallat/four palaces. All ceremonial functions including the accession of the Nizams and receptions for the Governor-General were held at this palace.
It is believed to be modelled after Shah of Iran's palace in Tehran which was built by Juveria Khan Rahimullah. The palace is unique for its style and elegance. Building of the palace began in the late 18th century and over the decades a synthesis of many architectural styles and influences emerged. The palace consists of two courtyards as well as the grand Khilwat (the Dharbar Hall), fountains and gardens. The palace originally covered 45 acres (180,000 m2), but only 12 acres (49,000 m2) remain today.

Day 7 of our French Riviera and Adriatic cruise aboard the Celebrity Constellation marked our arrival at our fifth port of call: Sicily. We docked at the Port of Messina, where joined a private tour organized by our new friends April and Reagan Bax through Sicily Life.
Before boarding the tour van, I snapped a few quick photos of the port area. This photo shows a view of Messina's City Hall and two colossal papier-mâché sculptures representing the legendary giants Mata and Grifone. The marble statue closer to the foreground is an allegorical figure representing Messina; it was sculpted by Giuseppe Prinzi in 1852. The handsome domed building toward the far right is the Sacrario di Cristo Re (Temple of Christ the King), which honors fallen military service members.
Shanklin is a popular seaside resort and civil parish on the Isle of Wight, England, located on Sandown Bay. Shanklin is the southernmost of three settlements which occupy the bay, and is close to Lake and Sandown. The sandy beach, its Old Village and a wooded ravine, Shanklin Chine, are its main attractions. The esplanade along the beach is occupied by hotels and restaurants for the most part, and is one of the most tourist-oriented parts of the town. The other is the Old Village, at the top of Shanklin Chine.

Barn (a.k.a. Horse Barn) (begun c!899)
The barn consists of three major components: a large horse
barn (begun c!899, enlarged by 1915) a cow shed (c!899), and a wash room addition for washing carriages and later
automobiles (after 1916).
The horse barn is a large, rectangular, two story, gable-roofed vernacular board-and-batten frame building built on a rubble stone foundation. The cow shed is a one-story, shed-roofed addition built against the horse barn's west wall. The wash room is a one-story, gable-roofed addition projecting from the horse barn's north wall. Both additions are finished with wall and roof materials matching the horse barn.
The interior is divided into two levels, with a hayloft at the east end and living quarters above the west end. The ground floor was partitioned off to contain tack rooms and storage. The ground floor has been renovated as an auditorium/ orientation center. The barn retains much of its outward appearance as developed over time by c!916.

The town hall of Ghent, located at the Butter Market, comprisesf two wings. It was designed by Rombout II Keldermans and Dominicus the Waeghemaekere.
The oldest wing (corner of the Butter Market and the High Gate) is still in the last Gothic flamboyant style built between 1519 and 1539. The façade niches contain the statues of the Counts of Flanders. The nineteen images were added in the late 19th and early 20th century. There are 51 rooms.
The youngest and largest wing is a product of the Renaissance and was built between 1595 and 1618. The façades are characterized by a scholastic application of successive Doric , Ionic and Corinthian columns quarters and pilasters, inspired by the design of the Italian Renaissance - palazzi .
Ghent City Hall includes a block with many other parts. An old cellar (Cardeloet House) is probably from before 1100. The oldest above-ground portion in the middle of the complex dates from 1482. Even Viollet le Duc designed a chimney. There is the Peace Hall where in 1576 the Peace of Ghent was proclaimed.
