One of Quinta de Regaleira's most fascinating feature is located beneath the ground – a pair of wells spiraling deep within the earth. The wells were never used, nor intended for water collection. Instead, these mysterious underground towers were used for secretive initiation rites.
The ‘Initiation Well’ or ‘Inverted Tower’, consist of ‘winding stair’ architecture, which carries symbolic meaning including the death/rebirth allegory common to many hermetic traditions.
The well contains nine platforms, which are said to be “reminiscent of the Divine Comedy by Dante and the nine circles of Hell, the nine sections of Purgatory and the nine skies which constitute Paradise.”

La torre de Navalapiedra (telégrafo óptico) no estuvo mucho tiempo en servicio pues fue rápidamente suplantada por la implantación del telégrafo eléctrico, en 1855.
Durante un tiempo la torre fue utilizada como vivienda, cuando se sustituyó la cubierta original por un tejado de teja árabe, se cubrieron los muros con pintura blanca y se abrió una puerta de acceso a la altura del suelo

The Stauropegic Resurrection New Jerusalem Monastery is one of the most famous monasteries in the Moscow Region. It is a unique and sacred place, marvellous in its design, having been crafted by architects from several epochs. It reproduces the layout of key religious sites in Ierusalem – the Resurrection Cathedral is the counterpart of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre with its side chapels and the underground Sts Constantine and Helena Church is the counterpart of the cavernous Palestinian church. The natural landscape around the monastery bears Biblical names: Mounts (or, rather, hills) Tabor, Hermon, Sinai, Mount of Olives, the Jordan river (Istra), and the Garden of Gethsemane.
Известен и под другим названием – Воскресенский Новоиерусалимский монастырь. Мужская православная обитель была основана в 1656 г. рядом с городом Истра в Подмосковье. Своим появлением она обязана патриарху Никону, пожелавшему разбить в этом месте резиденцию патриархов. Сам Никон многократно останавливался здесь на ночлег, ведь ему часто приходилось посещать Иверский монастырь (ездил он по старой Волоколамской дороге). Строительством нового монастыря патриарх желал добиться обустройства центра православного мира на московской земле. При этом планировалось, что грандиозное сооружение станет топографически передавать храм Гроба Господня, расположенный в Иерусалиме. Закладка монастыря производилась на холме с палестинским названием Сион. С восточной стороны к обители прилегал Елеонский холм, ее северным «соседом» был холм Фавор, а местная река Истра получила новое название – Иордан.
