Santa Maria dei Miracoli presso San Celso is a church and a sanctuary. The construction was begun by Gian Giacomo Dolcebuono and Giovanni Battagio in 1493, to house a miraculous icon of the Madonna, initially on the central plan. The first part to be built was the octagonal dome, covered externally by a tambour with a loggia and arcades decorated by twelve brickwork statues by Agostino De Fondulis, designed in Lombard style by Giovanni Antonio Amadeo (1494-1498). In 1506 to the original edifice a complex with nave and two aisles was added, the former covered by a monumental barrel vault also by Amadeo; the presbytery received a polygonal ambulatory inspired to that in the Duomo. In the 16th century also the square portico in classical style was added, perhaps designed by Cesare Cesariano or Cristoforo Lombardo (il Lombardino). The massive eclectic and Mannerist style façade was designed by Galeazzo Alessi in the late 16th century and was realized by Martino Bassi; it is decorated by numerous statues and reliefs by Stoldo Lorenzi and Annibale Fontana.
Комплекс Санта-Мария дей Мираколи состоит из церкви Св. Цельсия (chiesa di San Celso) и храма Санта-Мария прессо Сан-Челсо (Santa Maria presso San Celso). Первая церковь, восходящая к древним временам, была перестроена в 996 году рядом с бенедиктинским монастырем, при реконструкции в XI веке она была перестроена в романском стиле: трехнефная базилика с единой абсидой. Нынешний фасад, продвинутый назад, по сравнению с оригинальным, является результатом стилистической реконструкции, осуществленной Луиджи Каноника (1851-54). Справа возвышается мощная колокольня в романо-ломбардском стиле, являющаяся одной из старейших в городе. Сантуарий был выполнен после 1490 года и заменил небольшую капеллу поздней готики (1429-39), которая уже не вмещала большого количества паломников, приходивших поклониться чудодейственному образу Девы Марии, хранившемуся там. Строительство купола (украшенного статуями из терракоты Агостина де Фонтутиса) и тибуриума было поручено Джованни Антонио Амадео и Джан Джакомо Дольчебуоно в 1497 году. В 1505 году Кристофоро Солари начинает строительство тройного портика перед фасадом, который стал первым миланским образцом зрелого классицизма; внутри открытая кладка кирпича с отдельными коринфскими бронзовыми капителями, снаружи отделан белым мрамором. Позднее церковь быда расширена под руководством Чезаре Чезариано (с 1513 года) и Кристофоро Ломбардо (с 1528 г.) путем строительства крытой галереи и боковых нефов. В 1563 году начались работы на фасаде, по проекту Галеаццо Алесси, позднее дополненные Мартино Басси.
The Torre Marrana is a fascinating tower from the Capo Vaticano military fortifications dating back to the 14th century. It comprises the ruins of an old lookout tower perched on a mossy hill above an outdoor theater. Это очаровательная башня из военных укреплений Капо Ватикана, относящихся к 14 веку. Она состоит из руин старой смотровой башни, расположенной на мшистом холме выше амфитеатра.
Los orígenes de este monasterio están encuadrados en el movimiento eremítico que, nacido en los primeros siglos del cristianismo, tiene una especial incidencia en la alta edad media.

New York City - August 8, 2023: View of Lower Manhattan and large clouds from Liberty State Park near Jersey City, New Jersey. Tall grass and reeds grow along the shoreline at Liberty State Park and provide an excellent view of Lower Manhattan. The cumulus clouds over the city add drama to this scene.
The Hundertwasser House in Vienna bears the unmistakable hand of the artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser (1928-2000), whose birth name was Friedrich Stowasser. The colorfully decorated exterior façade of Hundertwasser House in Vienna draws attention to itself almost magically. Anyone who lives in the Hundertwasser House also has the right to decorate the façade around the windows entirely to their own taste. More than 200 trees and shrubs on the balconies and roof terraces make the Hundertwasserhaus a green oasis in the heart of the city. The Hundertwasserhaus can only be viewed from outside.

A couple of weeks ago I went out with fellow photographer, Monica Ramanathan, to photograph Petco Park. We chose an evening where the Padres were playing at home so the stadium would be illuminated. Since that time, the San Diego Padres have clinched a postseason berth during a full-length season for the first time since 2006! I guess I need to photograph Petco Park more often to help the Padres win, but unfortunately, they will be playing on the road for the start of the National League playoffs. Favorite, share, comment.

The original Párisi Udvar (Parisian Court) was built in Budapest 100 years ago as a department store. From 1909, the City Savings Bank occupied the site, which was developed by German architect Henrik Schmahl. The arcade is two stories high, with a vaulted roof made of coloured glass and a striking hexagonal glass dome designed by Miksa Róth. The crystal glass domes of the passage create a special atmosphere. The floors have beautiful mosaic tiles, and there are balconies, and windows with bar tracery, pediments, and sculptures. You can also see reliefs of bees, symbolizing thrift, a reference to the bank that commissioned the construction. Henrik Schmahl sure wasn't in a thrifty mood when he created this masterpiece.
The building is now part of the unbound collection by Hyatt, and the passage is open to the public.

The Bayon Temple was built in the late 12 th or early 13 th century A.D. by Jayavarman VII, one of the Khmer Empire’s greatest kings. The Bayon Temple served as the state temple of Jayavarman’s new capital, Angkor Thom. Given the centrality of Buddhism in the Khmer Empire, the Bayon Temple stood at the center of Angkor Thom. Unlike the other temples built by the Khmer, Bayon Temple is unique in that it was the only state temple built primarily as a Mahayana Buddhist shrine dedicated to the Buddha. After the death of Jayavarman, the features of the Bayon Temple were altered according to the religious belief of his successors, thus containing Hindu and Theravada Buddhist elements that were not part of the temple’s original plans. Байон - известный своей архитектурой кхмерский храм в Ангкоре. Построенный в конце 12-ого столетия или в начале 13-ого столетия как официальный государственный храм Короля Джаявармана VII - буддиста направления Махаяны, Байон стоит в центре столицы Джаявармана - Ангкора Тхом. После смерти Джаявармана, он был изменен и увеличен более поздними индуистскими и буддистскими королями, проповедовавших Тхераваду в соответствии с их собственными религиозными предпочтениями.
Наиболее отличительная особенность Байона - это множество безмятежных и массивных каменных лиц на многих башнях, которые выступают из верхней террасы и группы вокруг ее центральной башни. Храм известен также двумя внушительными ансамблями барельефов, которые представляют необычную комбинацию мифологических, исторических и бытовых сцен.

As early as during the Roman era this area was the heart of Milan. Later, during the Middle Ages, when there were several churches clustered together here, it was the center of religious life in Milan. In 1859, when the cathedral was close to completion after a construction period of almost five hundred years, the city of Milan decided it was time to create a large square at the foot of the cathedral. It launched a competition for the design which attracted 176 participants. The Italian architect Giuseppe Mengoni was selected as the winner. To create the square and surrounding buildings, a whole neighborhood right in the heart of historic Milan had to be demolished. Construction started in 1862 and the project took about twenty years before it was finally completed.
Соборная площадь была основана еще в 14 веке по приказу сановника Адзоне Висконти. Площадь имела вид прямоугольника и постепенно застраивалась зданиями, над созданием которых в разные эпохи трудились самые известные архитекторы Милана. Свой актуальный вид Соборная площадь получила благодаря архитектору Джузеппе Менгони, работавшему над реставрацией площади с 1859 по 1877 год, а также архитектору Порталуппи. Последний выполнил в 1929 году строительство новой паперти у Миланского кафедрального собора и мостового покрытия.
Ba Na Hills resort is located nearly 1,500 meters above sea level and roughly half an hour west of the central Vietnamese city of Da Nang.
Ba Na Hills resort was discovered by the French in the late nineteenth century. They have built here many large villas, sports grounds and a range of restaurants. For nearly a century, war and time have made this place gradually desolate. Yet, since the end of the twentieth century, Ba Na Hills has been woken up with the efforts of local authorities and people there. This scenic area is being upgraded and expanded.
