Rustic old wall with portal window and sconces on a quiet medieval street in the historic center of old Catania, Italy.

The castle of the princes of Solms-Hohensolms-Lich is a castle in the old town (lower town) of the city of Lich in Hesse, Germany. The building in its current form dates from the late Renaissance and Baroque periods; the extension with the tapestry hall was built in 1911/12. The castle is still the family seat of the princes of Solms-Hohensolms-Lich and is not open to the public.

Found in the harbor of Rouen, france. The building looks like a extraterrestrial construction.

At the end of the alley... there is someone anyway.

 

A Ponte da Mizarela (ponte do diabo) localiza-se sobre o rio Rabagão, a cerca de um quilómetro da sua foz no rio Cávado, na freguesia de Ruivães, concelho de Vieira do Minho, distrito de Braga, em Portugal. Liga as freguesias de Ruivães à de Ferral, no concelho de Montalegre. Está implantada no fundo de um desfiladeiro escarpado, assente sobre os penedos e com alguma altitude em relação ao leito do rio, sendo sustentada por um único arco com cerca de 13 metros de vão.

 

Foi erguida na Idade Média e reconstruída no início do século XIX.

The elegant Midland Railway arches and canopy that define Hellifield Station help frame DB Shed no. 66156 as it slowly approaches with the 07.02 Mossend Yard - Clitheroe Castle Cement (4M00).

 

It was my first visit in 40 years and good to see this 1880 built structure in such fine fettle ...... even if the platform needed a bit of weeding! Sadly we'd already eaten, otherwise the "Fireman's Breakfast" on offer at the station cafe would surely have been taken up.

The courtyard ... of the old house.

GUIMARÃES (Portugal): Centro Ciência Viva de Guimarães.

 

O Centro Ciência Viva de Guimarães – Curtir Ciência (uma alusão direta à tradição dos curtumes) ocupa o espaço da antiga Fábrica Âncora, em frente à Loja dos Registos, na Zona de Couros. Inaugurado a 17 de dezembro de 2015, o equipamento conta com uma exposição permanente com cerca de duas dezenas de módulos de sete áreas do conhecimento.

 

Edifício com história devolvido às pessoas

 

A antiga Fábrica Âncora apresenta-se como um ícone da tipologia construtiva de Couros, sendo um edifício de referência. Em 1269, foi constituída em Guimarães a Confraria de Sapataris, que terá estado na origem, em 1315, da Irmandade de S. Crispim e S. Crispiniano, fundada pelos mestres sapateiros João Baião e Pero Baião, que dotaram logo a instituição de uma fonte de rendimento ao legarem uma poça de curtumes na Rua de Couros, com sete pias de pedra.

 

A zona foi densamente povoada, tendo outrora faltado muitas vezes casas para as famílias operárias. A importância que então ostentava a atividade dos curtumes persiste ainda hoje em manifestações culturais vimaranenses. É o caso da Peregrinação Anual à Penha, uma das maiores celebrações religiosas do concelho que teve origem numa iniciativa de curtidores e surradores.

No alvor da República, um incêndio na noite de 4 para 5 de outubro de 1910 arruinou todo o edifício, deixando apenas de pé a fachada. A administração municipal passou a funcionar, durante vários anos, no Liceu Bocage, até à conclusão das obras de reconstrução, em 1938, da responsabilidade do arquiteto Raul Lino.

The fortified church of Santa Eulalia stands on a hill called Puig de Missa.

Esta hermosa ermita fue construida en 1985

En ella tiene lugar todos los 15 de mayo la tradicional misa y “romería”

Once it was the main church of Vladimir principality. Its construction was initiated by the glorious Prince Andrei Bogolyubskii in 1158. Its new face the cathedral acquired after the fire of 1185, which had heavily damaged the interior of the church. The heir of Bogolubsky, the Prince Vsevolod the Big Nest, decided to improve the architecture of the cathedral. He surrounded the building by galleries, on the corners of which the new gilded domes appeared. As a result, the cathedral square become even bigger than before and its new look become even more beautiful, more solemn, and more elegant. In 1408 the interior design of the cathedral was taken care by the well-known icon painter, Andrei Rublev and his friend Daniel Chyorny. But unfortunately, the magnificent frescoes have survived only partially: the fires and looting did their work; by the 18th century the cathedral had dilapidated and dreary appearance. Thanks to the restoration of 1888-1891 the Assumption Cathedral received its original look. Today the Assumption Cathedral stands on the top of a high hill and is the integral part of the city’s panorama. The tourists enter through the high tower, which is also a remarkable example of architecture.

Храм основал владимирский князь Андрей Боголюбский в 1158 г. как усыпальницу для брата и трех своих сыновей и придал ему статус главного храма владимирских и суздальских земель. Для его украшения были приглашены лучшие зодчие, иконописных и золотых дел мастера из Греции, Германии, Киева и Галича. Здание построили из белого известняка и декорировали каменной резьбой. Позже в великокняжеском соборе венчали на престол и хоронили великих владимирских князей, для чего собор расширили, надстроили и пышно убрали. Главной реликвией была Владимирская икона Божией Матери, позднее переданная в Москву, и находящаяся ныне в храме при Третьяковской галерее.

В 1238 г. татаро-монгольские войска взяли Владимир. Множество горожан вместе с епископом заперлись в соборе, чтобы не сдаться супостату, но воины хана Батыя подожгли храм, и прихожане задохнулись от дыма. Храм обгорел, часть фресок были утеряны, а реликвии похищены, но в 1408 г. сын Дмитрия Донского — князь Василий — взялся восстановить его.

В 17 веке по указанию императрицы Екатерины II и на ее пожертвования был сделан ремонт храма. Тогда средневековый иконостас заменили на новый, барочный, а в начале 20 века находящиеся на нем иконы работы Рублева отправили в Государственный Русский музей и Третьяковскую галерею.

В некрополе захоронены великие князья и духовенство, некоторые из них — святые великомученики. Здесь покоятся основатель Успенского собора князь Андрей Боголюбский, Всеволод Большое Гнездо, его сын и дочь, мученики Митрофан и Патрикий. Паломники приезжают поклониться к частицам мощей святого Александра Невского — полководца, чьи войска одержали победу над тевтонскими рыцарями на Чудском озере, а также останкам святителей Симона, Максима, Серапиона. Здесь также можно приложиться к иконам Боголюбской, Владимирской, Максимовской Божией Матери (это списки со знаменитых оригиналов).
