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.

The Khan's Palace in Bakhchisaray was built in the 16th century and served as a residence for a succession of Crimean Khans. The Crimean Khanate was a Turkic vassal state of the Ottoman Empire from 1478 to 1774 -- the longest-lived of the Turkic khanates that succeeded the empire of the Golden Horde.

Строительство дворца началось при Менгли-Гирее I в 1503 г. параллельно с новой Ханской столицей, к этому периоду времени относится возведение Демир-Капы. Но основные работы по его созданию велись в период правления Сахиб-Гирея I: с 1532 по 1551 гг. было построено большинство прекрасных зданий.
Однако говорить, что возведение его закончили незадолго до смерти Сахиб-Гирея, было бы неправильно. Фактически каждый из ханов добавлял что-то свое – так и продолжалось до ликвидации Крымского ханства в 1785 г. Во время русско-турецкой войны 1735-1739 гг. в 1736 г. Бахчисарай был взят русскими войсками, а ханская резиденция сожжена по приказу фельдмаршала Миниха.

On strategically so important place towers Trentino’s largest fortress, referred to as Castel Beseno. First written documents date back to the 12th century, when the castle still belonged to the counts of Appiano and served as a residence to the aristocratic family Da Beseno. In the following years and centuries, the castle witnessed a rather turbulent history. In 1470 it was handed over to the counts Trapp, a noble family from Styria affiliated with the Austrian emperor. Soon the castle had to be rennovated due to a fire and the medieval castle turned into a residence. Threatened by decay, the castle was given to the Province of Trento, rennovated and made a remote seat of the Castello del Buonconsiglio Museum. Two mighty elliptical walls featuring a length of 250 and a width of 55 metres surround the castle. Worth seeing are also the dark castle gate, the drawbridge, the crenels and the arena.
Великие бастионы, которые характеризуют Кастель-Бесено, относятся к 16 веку, когда замок был приспособлен для сражений с применением огнестрельного оружия. Сегодня, помимо внутренних дворов и зданий крепости, которые когда-то использовались в качестве кухонь, хлебных печей, подвалов и складских помещений, можно также посетить и прогуляться по парапетной прогулке с панорамным видом на Валь д'Адидже и долина, ведущая к плато Альтопиано ди Фольгария.

Tolga Convent was founded in 1314 on the left bank of the Volga river, on the place of miraculous appearance of the Tolga Icon of the Mother of God. Against all odds of history, beginning with Mongol Yoke, Tolga Convent emerged from ruins and desolation and nowadays attracts thousands of pilgrims. The convent is located not far from Yaroslavl; on the left bank of the river Volga, at the place of confluence of a small river Tolgobolka (or Tolga) into Volga. White stone walls with high angle towers, cathedrals with multiple heads, glaring golden domes and crosses and a predominating massive bell-tower form one magnificent harmonious structure, captivating eyes of those travelling along Volga. The cedar grove has been planted here in the 16th century to commemorate the miraculous appearance of the icon after fire.
Епископ Прохор, возвращаясь по Волге в Ярославль из Белозерья, 7 августа 1314 года вместе с бывшими при нем священниками остановился ночевать на правом берегу Волги в 8 верстах от Ярославля. В полночь он увидел на противоположном берегу сияющий огненный столп и мост к нему. Утром 8 августа там была обретена икона Пресвятой Богородицы. На этом месте святитель начал строить церковь. В начале XV века здесь произошел пожар. Сгорели кельи, ограда, пламя мгновенно объяло и церковь. Спасти из церковной утвари ничего не удалось. Но когда огонь потух, святую икону обрели вне монастыря, в лесу, совершенно невредимую и сияющую светом. В Смутное время Толгская обитель была полностью разорена, но чудотворная икона уцелела. 1612 год отмечен в летописи монастыря древнейшим из известных крестных ходов с Толгской иконой Богородицы в Ярославль, назначенный тогда сборным пунктом для народных ополчений, собиравшихся для спасения Москвы и Русского государства.
