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).

The "Pont de pierre" in French, or "Stone Bridge" in English, is a bridge in Bordeaux, (in the Gironde department of France), which connects the left bank of the Garonne River to the right bank. It is 487 m in length and 19 m wide.
The most characteristic chimneys were built in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, with some being much older. It is not known exactly when this trend began, except that the chimney was the trademark of the master who built the house.
The Christmas tree lit up under the Washington Square Arch in Washington Square Park, Greenwich Village, New York City. The arch is a marble memorial arch designed by architec Stanford White in 1891. It commemorates the centennial of George Washington's 1789 inauguration as President of the United States.
Even though at first glance it looks a bit like the distant Eiffel Tower, it is not at all. It's just the pillar of the Passerelle du Palais de Justice in Lyon. Photographed through two pillars at the entrance to the Palais de Justice, and above it arches a wonderfully blue, but also somewhat boring sky.
Thanks for your criticism and as always, favs, likes and comments are gratefully appreciated!
Actually just a normal alley in Toulouse. Not ugly, not particularly pretty, just a normal alley. But what a bright spot the fresh, colorful, good-smelling flowers bring to everyday life. The warm light of the store and the colorful flowers magically attracted my eye.
El puente de Alcántara
es un puente romano en arco construido entre los años 103 y 104, que cruza el río Tajo en la localidad española de Alcántara, en la provincia de Cáceres. España. Es un puente que conjuga técnica depurada con estética y funcionalidad, uno de los más claros exponentes de lo que fue la ingeniería civil romana impregnada de carácter propagandístico.
Sus altos pilares provistos de contrafuertes que realzan su verticalidad y sus arcos propician la buscada monumentalidad y se consideraron arquetipo de otras obras, como el cercano pero más modesto puente de Segura. En su arco central se alude al emperador en cuyo período se levantó, Trajano, y a los municipios de la zona que contribuyeron al proyecto. Dañado y reconstruido en varias ocasiones desde la Edad Media hasta el siglo XIX, el puente ha sido descrito por cronistas, viajeros y estudiosos que lo han podido admirar a lo largo de la historia y que han dejado testimonios de elogio desde el medievo hasta nuestros días.

The Alcantara Bridge
It is a Roman arch bridge built between the years 103 and 104, which crosses the Tagus River in the Spanish town of Alcántara, in the province of Cáceres. Spain. It is a bridge that combines refined technique with aesthetics and functionality, one of the clearest exponents of what was Roman civil engineering impregnated with a propagandistic nature.
Its tall pillars provided with buttresses that enhance its verticality and its arches favor the sought-after monumentality and were considered the archetype of other works, such as the nearby but more modest Segura bridge. Its central arch alludes to the emperor in whose period it was built, Trajan, and to the municipalities in the area that contributed to the project. Damaged and rebuilt several times from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, the bridge has been described by chroniclers, travelers and scholars who have been able to admire it throughout history and who have left testimonies of praise from the Middle Ages to the present day. .

Tucked away next to a staircase is this wonderful little store, a bright and colorful feast for the eyes in the narrow alley.
The tallest building in Thailand is going to officially open soon. The top has a 360 degree viewpoint as well.
UNA MIRADA AL RETIRO
La Casita del Pescador es uno de los caprichos que el rey Fernando VII promovió en el Reservado del Parque del Retiro o zona que delimitó del uso público, para su uso personal y el de su familia. Las obras se iniciaron en 1817. La casa fue emplazada sobre la isla central de un estanque donde se podía pescar.
A LOOK AT THE RETIRO´S PARK
The Fisherman's House is one of the whims that King Ferdinand VII promoted in the Retiro Park Reserve or area that he delimited from public use, for his personal use and that of his family. The works began in 1817. The house was located on the central island of a pond where it was possible to fish.

The "Fool Moon Bridge"At over 500 years old, the Fuli Bridge is yet another ancient stone bridge which can be found in the countryside around Yangshuo. When seen from a distance away, the bridge with its high arched back and the reflection created in the water form a perfect circle, called a full moon by the locals.

Exquisite vases on the wall parapets, aerial arches with baroque reliefs and countless statues of ancient Greek gods that adorn the courtyard territory consisting of several descending terraces became an additional decoration of the palace. The sculptures were an exact replica of the ancient sculptures of the Berlin Museum, with the only difference being that ours were gypsum, imitating marble. The park designer introduced his “zest” into the design of the territory. The trick was that the “female” figures were located from the southern part of the palace, where the bedchamber of Maria Feodorovna was located. Statues of male gods "dispersed" from the north side of the palace, respectively, from the side of the emperor's chambers.
Unfortunately, out of almost 30 figures, only six have survived to our times. Surprisingly, they are all paired: two satyrs, two chimeras and two sphinxes. The rest were irretrievably lost, dashing times of wars and revolutions did not spare them.
Вся придворцовая часть парка, занимающая около 1,5 десятин, была украшена скульптурами. Они были установлены вокруг дворца, на подпорных стенах, в нише второго этажа и на открытом в то время балконе. Всего было установлено 29 скульптур и 6 декоративных ваз. Согласно архивным документам, скульптуры изготовлялись из искусственного камня и отливались из гипса. Статуи из искусственного камня (их было 12) были выписаны через петербургскую фирму "Кос и Дюр" из Метлаха и обошлись в среднем по 250-300 рублей. Гипсовые скульптуры также были отлиты за границей и представляли собой копии статуй из Императорского Берлинского музея изящных искусств. Некоторые гипсовые скульптуры были окрашены масляными красками под цвет мрамора. Статуи изображали античных богов, философов, аллегории различных искусств и наук.
К сожалению, большая часть скульптур, украшавших дворец, не сохранилась. Некоторые из них были сделаны из недолговечного материала и уже к 1909 году были сильно повреждены, что вызвало необходимость снять их.
Некоторые из скульптур были утрачены уже в советское время.
Уцелело лишь 6 скульптур: два сатира, два дракона (иногда их называют химерами), два сфинкса. Последние, очевидно, были сделаны здесь, на месте, по моделям, привезенным из Петербурга и выполненным скульптором А.Г. Бауманом, работавшим над оформлением Массандровского дворца.
