One of the oldest industrial enterprises in St. Petersburg, the main building of the Mint was constructed 1800-1805 to replace coining workshops in the eastern fortifications of the Peter and Paul Fortress, which had been producing money and medals since 1724. Designed by A. Porto in strict classical style, the main building was complemented in the 1830s and 1840s by further workshops and a surrounding stone wall. The Mint continues to produce coins, state awards, and other official medals.

This stretch of the Danube has been the location of human settlement since the Palaeolithic. It was the site of the Roman city of Aquincum, situated to the north of the inscribed property which comprises parts of two originally quite separate cities: Buda on the spur on the right bank and Pest on the plain on the left bank. Pest was the first medieval urban centre, devastated in 1241-2. A few years later the castle of Buda was built on a rocky spur on the right bank by King Bela IV. Thereafter, the city reflected the history of the Hungarian monarchy. After the end of the Turkish occupation, recovery did not really begin until the 18th century. In the 19th century, the city’s role as a capital was enhanced by the foundation of the Hungarian Academy, housed from 1862 in a neo-renaissance palace, and by the construction of the imposing neo-gothic Parliament building (1884–1904). W.T. Clark’s suspension bridge, finalised in 1849, symbolised the reunification of Buda and Pest, which did not actually come about until 1873. The symbol of the development of the city as a modern metropolis was the radial Andrássy Avenue, which was included in the property in 2002. From 1872, the Avenue radically transformed the urban structure of Pest, together with the construction of the European continent’s first underground railway beneath it in 1893-6.
As a centre for receiving and disseminating cultural influences, Budapest is an outstanding example of urban development in Central Europe, characterised by periods of devastation and revitalisation. Budapest has retained the separate structural characteristics of the former cities of Pest, Buda and Óbuda. One example thereof is the Buda Castle Quarter with its medieval and characteristically Baroque style, which are distinct from the extended and uniquely homogeneous architecture of Pest (with its historicising and art nouveau styles) which is characterised by outstanding public buildings and fitted into the ringed-radial city structure. All this is organized into a unity arising from the varied morphological characteristics of the landscape and the Danube, the two banks of which are linked by a number of bridges. The urban architectural ensemble of the Andrássy Avenue (‘The Avenue’) and its surroundings (Heroes' Square, the City Park, historic inner city districts and public buildings) are high-quality architectural and artistic realisations of principles of urbanism reflecting tendencies, which became widespread in the second part of the 19th century. The scenic view of the banks of the Danube as part of the historic urban landscape is a unique example of the harmonious interaction between human society and a natural environment characterised by varied morphological conditions (Gellért Hill with the Citadel and the Buda Hills partly covered with forests, the broad Danube river with its islands and Pest's flat terrain rising with a slight gradient).
This is the construction site where once the World Trade center stood. It's sad to look at it, though the ongoing construction makes it look like any other building project.

Paris, December 2002 - pictures from the balcony of my room near the Charles de Gaulle Étoile. This time I was here with partners and customers, on a courtesy tour paid by my company.

Congress Square, sometimes wrongly called Plaza de los Dos Congresos (the error comes from the fact that the monument that is in it is called Monument to the Two Congresses , in honor of the thirteenth year's Assembly and the Congress of Tucumán ) is a square in the City of Buenos Aires , bounded by Avenues Entre Ríos , Rivadavia , Hipólito Yrigoyen and Viceroy Street Cevallos.
It is part of a set of three seats located in the same area, near the Plaza and the Plaza Lorea Mariano Moreno. The construction of these places was a urban setting around the celebrations of the centenary of the May Revolution , and responded to the thought hygienist late nineteenth century that sought correctly ventilated and sunny places in big cities.
Ye original olde pork pie made by Dickinson & Morris really is very good. We bought one topped with Stilton cheese instead of a top crust. Fortunately our local Sainsbury stocks the brand.
