The 16th-century Dai Halima Mosque contains the mausoleum of a royal midwife named Halima, with elegant jali screens. The monument is off the beaten track and is one of the most soothing locations in Ahmedabad. Persian and Sanskrit inscriptions on the walls tell the legend of the memorial. It is said that Dhai Harir (also known as Bai Harir Sultani), a household lady of Mahmud Begada, commissioned this stepwell. She built a mosque alongside a small tomb, in which she was buried.

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.
El monasterio fue fundado en el año 1134. Inicialmente estuvo encomendado a los benedictinos hasta el año 1147, en el que se convertiría a la Orden del Cister

Much like traditional homes, even churches in the Faroes can have turf roofs. This one happens to be in Skálavík, a small village of less than 200 on the eastern coast of Sandoy. The town is home to a couple of famous Faroese authors, although honestly, famous by Faroese stands is unknown by global standards. The church itself was built way back in 1891.
There's not a ton of villages to see on Sandoy. Within a span of about 20 minutes you can drive from the ferry port in Skopun, through Magn, and into Skalavik. Of course, add some time to walk around a bit, but overall, that's like half the island. Add in time to drive to a couple more remote villages if you like, and you have yourself a nice little day trip.

El origen del templo está vinculado a una epidemia de Peste bubónica que asoló a Garachico entre los años de 1601 y 1606. Existen tres testamentos que refieren que el templo fue construido en 1603 para implorar el fin de la peste.

Milan Cathedral, called Duomo di Milano in Italian, is a vast Gothic-style cathedral, located in the heart of Milan. It is 515 ft (157 metres) long and 302 ft (92 m) wide. It can house up to 40.000 people. Il Duomo di Milano is one of the largest Catholic churches in the world. The construction of Milan Cathedral began in 1386, which coincided with Gian Galeazzo Visconti coming into power. The purpose of this impressive construction was to modernize the area and to celebrate the expansion of the Visconti territory. The Cathedral took five centuries to complete. During this time, various architects, sculptors and artists contributed to the famous construction program known as the “Fabbrica del Duomo”. The result was an impressive and unique piece of architecture, which merged the international Gothic style with the Lombard Romanesque style.
С учетом всех декораторских работ строительство осуществлялось 579 лет. Мало какие сооружения могут похвастаться столь серьезным и длительным подходом к созданию уникального произведения искусства. В массивной церкви может вместиться около 40 000 человек. Если взглянуть на здание с высоты птичьего полета, то станет ясно, что оно напоминает католический крест, у которого вертикаль составляет 158 м, а горизонтальный неф – 92 м. Наивысшая точка собора – шпиль, украшенный статуей Девы Марии, высота самого высокого шпиля – 106 м.
In central part of Historical Boulevard there stands the Panorama “Defense of Sevastopol 1854-1855” – the world-famous monument to national feat of arms, our national pride. One episode of the 349-day long Defense of Sevastopol is depicted there – the day when defenders repulsed the assault on 18 June 1855. The author of this epic pictorial canvas, Franz Roubaud, was a full member of St. Petersburg Academy of Fine Arts and founder of Russian panoramic art. The Panorama was unveiled for visitors on 14 May 1905 and was stored in a specially designed circular building, built under design by military engineer Friedrich Oskar Enberg and architect Valentin Feldman. Of exquisite beauty is the classical two-column portal of the Panorama’s building, plated with Inkerman limestone and with its upper part decorated with elements of military insignia – the soldier’s St. George Cross, interlaced by a St. George Ribbon with number “349” denoting the numbers of days the Defense lasted.
Музей-панорама «Оборона Севастополя» — это один из крупнейших музеев данного типа в мире. Только сама картина имеет потрясающие размеры — длину 115 метров и высоту 14 метров, не считая той уникальной композиции, что расположена перед ней, и придающая всему, что видят глаза зрителей, полную иллюзию реальности происходящего.
Огромное полотно для панорамы «Оборона Севастополя 1854-1855 года» была написана французским художником Францем Рубо, с большим трудом спасена во время Великой Отечественной Войны и восстановлена уже после нее, коллективом советских художников, которые существенно ее доработали, добавив немало интересных деталей.
Попадая в Севастопольскую панораму, зрители видят утро 6 июня 1855 года, одного из дней битвы за Севастополь, когда, во время Крымской войны, 75-тысячную русскую армию атаковало 173-тысячное англо-французско-турецкое войско. Зритель словно бы обозревает окрестности с Малахова кургана — самой высокой точки города, где был расположен один из восьми севастопольских бастионов.

Turf roofs are traditional Scandinavian living roofs. They're fairly common throughout the Faroe Islands, and you can even find them in the middle of the bigger towns as well. Overall though, there's a mix of traditional turf houses and houses with more modern construction techniques.
There are a number of environmental and cost benefits to having a turf house, such as reduced heating costs and longer lifespan of the roof overall. From a practical standpoint though, you now have to maintain your roof more so than modern roofs. They are however, quite cool to look at.
