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.
The Schellemolen was built in 1867 on the walls of an old wooden mill. There had been a mill for ages at the same place. Traces go back as far as 1267, when Margaret of Constantinople sold its rights. There is an oil-mill inside the windmill.

Palma de Mallorca is a busy city, especially in the summer, when the usual life is joined by the many tourists. But if you keep your eyes open, even in the midst of the hustle and bustle, you can always find a quiet spot, like this courtyard.
Thanks for your criticism and as always, favs, likes and comments are gratefully appreciated!
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.

London, England - January 5, 2025: Long exposure of traffic on a rainy night on Tower Bridge. Tower Bridge was built between 1886 and 1894 and was designed by Horace Jones. It crosses the River Thames close to the Tower of London and is one of five London bridges owned and maintained by the City Bridge Foundation, a charitable trust founded in 1282.
Built high above the city of Marseille, the Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde! The view of the city and the Mediterranean Sea is spectacular, the climb steep (unless you take the bus). But the interior of the church is equally beautiful, unless you visit it at the same time as the masses of tourists who are regularly unloaded from the cruise ships in the port of Marseille.

VIANA DO CASTELO (Portugal): Fortim da Areosa.
Implantado numa enseada localizada no extremo da Praia Norte, na freguesia da Areosa, em Viana do Castelo, o Fortim da Areosa corresponde a uma fortificação de planta estrelada de pequenas dimensões. A estrutura é composta por quatro ângulos, ou redentes. Na face virada a terra, os redentes são ligados por cortina de alvenaria de pedra, em ângulo invertido, onde foi rasgada a porta de acesso, de arco de volta perfeita. Na face virada ao mar os redentes flanqueiam a bateria, em forma de meia-lua, com plataforma a barbete. No espaço interior encontram-se vestígios de edificações e da rampa de acesso à bateria.
Atualmente, e apesar de ter sofrido danos na estrutura, o fortim integra um dos percursos ambientais dos arredores da cidade de Viana do Castelo.
História
O Fortim da Areosa foi erigido na última década do século XVII, por ordem do monarca D. Pedro II, para reforçar o sistema defensivo então existente na zona costeira do Alto Minho. Este pequeno reduto militar tinha como objetivo reforçar a defesa da barra do rio Lima e do porto de Viana da Foz do Lima, cruzando fogo com a Fortaleza de Santiago, localizada poucos quilómetros a sudeste. A edificação terá sido levantada entre os últimos anos de Seiscentos e 1701, data apontada por Figueiredo da Guerra para a sua conclusão (GUERRA: 1926, p. 689).
Esta estrutura defensiva integra-se num conjunto de fortificações construídas entre as zonas de Vila Praia de Âncora e Esposende, numa época posterior à Guerra da Restauração, cujas semelhanças planimétricas e o facto de terem sido erigidas no mesmo período permitem considerar que na última década de Seiscentos foi elaborado um plano construtivo de novas estruturas militares para reforçar a linha de defesa da fronteira noroeste do Reino. Na zona entre os rios Minho e Lima foram erigidos os fortes do Cão e da Lagarteira, e os fortins da Areosa e de Montedor, que viriam assim reforçar o poder de fogo das fortalezas já existentes no litoral minhoto, então considerado insuficiente.
Este fortim, também conhecido localmente como Forte da Vinha ou Castelo Velho, apresenta flagrantes semelhanças com o Forte do Cão, em Caminha, sendo possível que, à semelhança deste, integrasse baluartes nos vértices.
Depois da sua desativação militar, o Fortim da Areosa foi votado ao abandono. Foi classificado como de interesse público em 1970, poucoas anos depois da classificação do conjunto de fortes acima citados. A estrutura recebeu obras de consolidação e restauro em 1972, 1973 e 1978, realizadas pela Direcção-Geral dos Edifícios e Monumentos Nacionais. No ano de 1983 a afetação só espaço foi transferida para a alçada da Comissão Regional de Turismo do Alto Minho. Cerca do ano 2000, foi elaborado o projeto do Centro de Interpretação e Apoio a Percursos Ambientais, da autoria do arquiteto Luís Teles, para ser instalado nas imediações do fortim.

Das ehemalige Finanzamt ist ein Baudenkmal aus den 50er Jahren. Die Stadt Saarbrücken beabsichtigt den Abriss, weil die notwendige Betonsanierung zu teuer sei.
Деревянная приходская церковь Воскресения уже стояла на месте собора к 1629 году. В 1655 году была написана чудотворная икона Шуйской-Смоленской Божьей Матери иконописцем из Шуи, Герасимом Иконниковым. В 1667 году была возведена каменная церковь взамен деревянной, но сгорела в 1710 году. Строительство современного храма продолжалось в 1792-98 годах на средства прихожан. 19 сентября 1799 года епископ Владимирский и Суздальский Виктор освятил собор. Уцелевший во время пожаров чудотворный образ был перенесён в храм.
A Chapel in Romanesque style, built by miners, dedicated to St. Nikolaus is mentioned in a document dated to 1339. In the fifteenth century, because of the growing population, the chapel was extended and the choir was built in Giothic style. Until 1758 the chapel depended on Matrei am Brenner, than had its own Curate and on the same site, under the direction of Franz de Paula Penz, a new baroque church was built; in 1891 it was elevated to Parish.
