Ο Μύλος Ματσόπουλου στα Τρίκαλα αποτελεί ένα από τα σημαντικότερα μνημεία Βιομηχανικής Κληρονομιάς της χώρας μας. Χτίστηκε το 1884 από τους αδερφούς Αγαθοκλή, λίγο μετά την απελευθέρωση της Θεσσαλίας. Υπήρξε ο πρώτος κυλινδρόμυλος που χτίστηκε στην Ελλάδα και ο μεγαλύτερος των Βαλκανίων ενώ δίπλα του κατασκευάστηκε και το πρώτο μακαρονοποιείο της χώρας.

Στα χρόνια που ακολούθησαν άλλαξε πολλές φορές ιδιοκτησία, μέχρι που κατέληξε στον Ιωάννη Ματσόπουλο και μετά το θάνατό του, το 1977, στο δήμο Τρικκαίων, ο οποίος με τη συγχρηματοδότηση της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης τον αναπαλαίωσε.

Στις μέρες μας αποτελεί ένα δυναμικό πολιτισμικό κέντρο, με πλήθος καλλιτεχνικών δραστηριοτήτων να λαμβάνουν χώρα εκεί. Στο κεντρικό κτίσμα φιλοξενούνται κυρίως καλλιτεχνικές εκθέσεις και στους υπόλοιπους χώρους περιλαμβάνονται το δημοτικό θέατρο, θερινός κινηματογράφος, συνεδριακός χώρος και το εργαστήρι τέχνης του πολιτιστικού οργανισμού του δήμου. Τέλος, στο χώρο λειτουργεί το δημοτικό αναψυκτήριο, όπου μπορείτε να χαλαρώσετε μέσα σε ένα καταπράσινο περιβάλλον.

Τα τελευταία χρόνια,πάντως,η φήμη του εξαπλώθηκε πανελληνίως ως «Μύλος των ξωτικών»,το μεγαλύτερο Χριστουγεννιάτικο θεματικό πάρκο με αναμφισβήτητες θετικές επιδράσεις στην οικονομία της πόλης.

Όμως οι (αντι)αισθητικές παρεμβάσεις τις οποίες υφίσταται εκείνη την περίοδο, με τεράστιους όγκους πλαστικής πολύχρωμης κιτσαρίας να παρεμβάλλονται άναρχα και ακαλαίσθητα ανάμεσα στις εκαταστάσεις του, αλλοιώνουν και τραυματίζουν «θανάσιμα» τον αρχιτεκτονικό χαρακτήρα του μνημείου.

Έτσι σε μιάν άλλη-πιο ήρεμη- περίοδο αποφάσισα να φωτογραφίσω το υπέροχο κτηριακό σύνολο υπενθυμίζοντας την μοναδική φυσιογνωμία του εμπνεόμενος και τον αντίστοιχο τίτλο.

 

The Mill Matsopoulos in Trikala is one of our country's most important monuments Industrial Heritage. Built in 1884 by brothers Agathocles, soon after the liberation of Thessaly. He was the first roller built in Greece and the largest in the Balkans, while next to him built the first pasta factory in the country.

In the years which followed ownership changed several times until he came to John Matsopoulos and after his death in 1977 in Trikala municipality, which co-funded by the European Union renovated.

Nowadays it is a dynamic cultural center, with many cultural activities take place there. In the central building mainly hosted art exhibitions and the other areas included the municipal theater, summer cinema, conference room and workshop art cultural organization of the municipality. Finally, in the area it operates elementary cafeteria where you can relax in a green environment.

In recent years, however, his reputation spread nationwide as "Mill of the Elves", the largest Christmas theme park with undeniable positive effects on the economy of the city.

But the (anti) aesthetic interventions which exists at the time, with huge volumes of plastic colorful kitsch interfere anarchically and unsightly buildings between the insalling, alter and injure "fatally" the architectural character of the monument.

So in another, quieter period I decided to photograph the magnificent building complex recalling the unique physiognomy inspired the corresponding title.

The Governor’s House was erected on the Volga embankment at the order of the Emperor Alexander I; it served as a residence for the governor and the en route imperial palace. All Russian emperors from Alexander I to Nikolay II visited Yaroslavl and lived in the house. Since 1970 the Governor’s House serves as the main building of the Yaroslavl Art Museum

 

Ярославский Губернаторский Дом сооружен по указу Александра Первого в качестве путевого дворца для российских императоров, поэтому его строительство осуществлялось за казенный счет и было завершено в кратчайшие сроки – всего за год. Этот дворцовый особняк посетили все русские императоры, начиная с Александра Первого и заканчивая Николаем Вторым. С 1822 по 1917 год в Губернаторском доме жили, правили губернией и принимали гостей 17 губернаторов.

Chersonesos, on the Crimean Peninsula on the Black Sea, was founded by Greek settlers in the fifth century B.C. and was occupied during the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine eras. It is a uniquely preserved example of an ancient landscape with over 140 stone farmhouses, a grid of country roads, and a network of forts from the Roman and Byzantine periods. In 1400, the city was destroyed by Mongols and not reoccupied. Structures that have survived are often subject to the elements and to crowds of unsupervised visitors. Erosion of the coastline of the Black Sea has undermined major architectural monuments, including the Uvarov Basilica where Christianity was first introduced to the Slavic world. The rapid expansion of Sevastopol, located on a nearby bay, has also threatened the historic landscape of the territory.

 

Херсонес, расположенный на Крымском полуострове на берегу Черного моря, был основан греческими поселенцами в пятом веке до нашей эры и был заселен в эллинистическую, римскую и византийскую эпохи. Это уникально сохранившийся образец древнего ландшафта с более чем 140 каменными фермерскими домами, сетью проселочных дорог и сетью фортов римского и византийского периодов. В 1400 году город был разрушен монголами и не был вновь оккупирован. Сохранившиеся сооружения часто подвергаются воздействию стихии и толпам неконтролируемых посетителей. Эрозия береговой линии Черного моря подорвала основные архитектурные памятники, в том числе базилику Уварова, где христианство впервые было представлено славянскому миру. Быстрое расширение Севастополя, расположенного в соседней бухте, также поставило под угрозу исторический ландшафт территории.

Culross Pier

The original pier consisted of a stone-built structure about 100m out into the Forth linked to another stone pier attached to the shore by a wooden platform. With the construction of the new railway line along the edge of the shore which opened in 1906, an embankment was built out from the original shoreline for the railway to run along and this cut the shore side of the pier in half. Only the end which attached to the wooden platform still extended into the Forth. The northern end can still be seen between the road and railway

 

Over time both sections of stone pier deteriorated and the wooden platform almost completely disappeared. In 2007 work started to restore the pier and volunteers have since rebuilt the platform (seen here) in the same form as the original, linking the shore to the outer structure once again. With the platform in place, it is now easier to continue the work on the outer pier.

 

The small warning notice on the right reads 'Keep off in strong winds'.
