Basilica de Santa Maria de la Salute
En Venecia en Marzo de 1630, cerca de la punta de la Aduana, construida por los venecianos a causa de una promesa por una epidemia sufrida de peste, que diezmo la población.
El 26 de marzo en la plaza de San Marcos el dogo Nicolás Contarini, el clero y el pueblo se reunieron para rezar. Cuando la peste terminó habían muerto 80 000 venecianos, y 600 000 en el territorio de la Serenísima, desde Brescia hasta Trieste.
El 28 de noviembre de 1631 comenzó su construcción en la Punta della Dogana, la aduana de Venecia. Se confió su construcción a Baldassare Longhena.

La Isla Pancha es un islote que se ubica en la punta noreste de Ribadeo, en la desembocadura del Río Eo. De superficie limitada, ocupa casi 1 hectárea y, aunque en ella se levantan dos faros (uno de ellos pintado de blanco y azul, datado de 1860) lo más probable es que no se pueda acceder ni al faro ni a la isla en general debido a que está unida a la costa por un puente que la mayoría de las veces se encuentra cerrado. Pese a ello, cabe destacar que la vista es mucho más hermosa desde el mirador que desde el faro.
En cuanto emprendemos camino por la carretera del Faro (la cual se señaliza como "Estrada do Faro") se presenta ante nosotros una impresionante panorámica de la Ría, con Figueras y Castropol de fondo.
Pancha Island
is an islet that is located at the northeastern tip of Ribadeo, at the mouth of the Eo River. With a limited area, it occupies almost 1 hectare and, although two lighthouses stand on it (one of them painted white and blue, dating from 1860), it is most likely that neither the lighthouse nor the island in general can be accessed due to because it is linked to the coast by a bridge that is closed most of the time. Despite this, it should be noted that the view is much more beautiful from the viewpoint than from the lighthouse.
As soon as we set off along the Faro road (which is signposted as "Estrada do Faro"), an impressive panoramic view of the Ría appears before us, with Figueras and Castropol in the background.
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 Church of St. Vladimir was built on the site of a medieval cruciform church in the mid-19th century. The church is devoted to Kyivan Prince Vladimir, who, according to the Rus Chronicle, was baptized in Chersonesos. Academician F. I. Chagin and architect D. I. Grimm, architects of the church, designed this two-story building with one chapel on each floor. The chapel of the Nativity of the Mother of God of Korsun' is located on the ground floor; St. Vladimir chapel is on the first floor.
The remains of the cruciform church where the prince of Rus' was initially supposed to have been baptized are preserved on the ground floor of the modern church.
Свято-Владимирский кафедральный собор в Херсонесе - православная святыня, которая увековечила принятие христианства князем Владимиром. Храм-памятник поражает своим величием, красотой и пропорциональностью линий. Свято-Владимирский собор был заложен в 1861 году. На церемонии присутствовала царская семья. Первый камень в основание собора заложил император Александр II. Он же утвердил проект будущего храма на территории Херсонесского монастыря. Автором проекта выступил академик архитектуры Давид Гримм. Интересно, что Свято-Владимирский собор в Херсонесе стал первым выдающимся сооружением, которое спроектировал этот архитектор.
The image depicts a narrow alleyway lined with traditional stone houses. The houses have bright green shutters that stand out against the warm, tan-colored stone. The alleyway is bathed in sunlight, casting a golden glow on the scene. The houses have red tile roofs and you can see some plants growing on the balconies. The atmosphere seems peaceful and charming, typical of a small village on the island of Mallorca on a beautiful sunny day.

One of the handful of small villages on the island of Husavik. This is pretty deep into Faroese territory. Well, relative to the small size of the Faroes. From Vagar Airport you take the subsea tunnel into neighboring Streymoy Island before catching a ferry across to Sandoy.

Antoine Berjon is the name of the gentleman in focus in the center and the sculpture was created by Clément Jayet. I don't know either of them and neither do I know the woman in the picture in the background, not to mention the blurred gentleman in the foreground. But the arrangement in the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Lyon appealed to me and tempted me to play with the depth of field.
Photographed handheld, it is once again amazing to me how you can get good pictures in a rather dark room of a museum.

Likely built between the 6th and the 9th century, at first it welcomed a community of Basilian monks. In the 11th century, it was passed on to the Benedictines, who still own it today, under the Abbey of Montecassino. Бывший монастырь 4-го века на вершине святилища острова Санта-Мария.
New York, New York - July 4, 2026: The Esmeralda, a four-masted barquentine sail training ship operated by the Chilean Navy for America's 250th anniversary in New York Harbor.
Spectacular it is, the cathedral of Palma de Mallorca. A grandiose building that you would not necessarily expect on this island, almost next to the coast. But there it stands and shies away from the comparison with other houses of worship in any way.
And with a little luck, the Spanish sun shines high in the blue sky and sends its bright rays into the high nave, creating a unique atmosphere.

All visitors of Burano remain intrigued by the many colours and the colorful houses that are reflected into the green waters of channels, by the leaning bell tower, by the tranquility and the calmness with which the elderly ladies embroider original Burano lace by their tombolo (or lace pillow), while they are laughing and chatting in squares among them. It seems to be in paradise.

Sant Ruf de Lleida és un monument del municipi de Lleida protegit com a Bé Cultural d'Interès Nacional. Tot i que, segons les referències documentals que es conserven, cal datar la fundació del monestir de Sant Ruf a mitjan segle xii, les restes que n'han perviscut remeten a una cronologia més avançada, probablement ja al segle xiii. La primera notícia que en coneixem és la donació del lloc l'any 1152 per part de Ramon Berenguer IV a l'abadia de Sant Ruf de Provença. L'any 1156 el capítol i el bisbe de Lleida confirmen el primer prior de la comunitat lleidatana i l'autoritzen a bastir l'església, sembla que en el lloc d'una antiga mesquita (Wikipedia).
