According to one of the legends it was founded in 891. Originally it belonged to the Constantinopolitan Patriarchate. The first record of the monastery dates back to 1578. From 1778 (the Christians’ outcome from Crimea) to 1794 the monastery does not function. From 1806 it becomes the base monastery for the Black Sea Fleet hieromonachs. New temples are built: 1816 — the Great Martyr George Temple, 1850 — the Exaltation of the Cross Temple, 1893 — the Cave Church of the Nativity of Christ. The monastery is closed in 1929. It was revived in 1994. In 2000 there started the building of the Great Martyr George Temple, ruined in 1927.
Православный мужской монастырь в Балаклавском районе Севастополя, расположен у мыса Фиолент, на побережье Чёрного моря. По преданию, монастырь в 891 году основали греки-мореплаватели. Как гласит легенда, возле Фиолента их настигла буря, при этом судно чуть не разбилось о скалу. Путешественники попросили святого Георгия Победоносца о помощи, и буря утихла. В благодарность моряки основали на берегу обитель с церковью во имя этого святого.
This picture of Québec City at dusk was taken near the Citadelle, a National Historical Site with impressive architecture and spectacular view. Overlooking the historic district, the iconic Chateau Frontenac, the port and the St. Lawrence River, this is for me the best place in town to see the sunrise in Quebec City. The sun was just peaking out through the clouds over the Orleans Island at the moment I clicked.

The land upon which the castle is constructed was purchased by the oil industrialist P. L. Steingel (nephew of the famous Russian railroad builder Baron Rudolf Steingel, a German nobleman who had made a fortune extracting oil in Baku. Baron von Steingel adored the Gothic architectural style, so he ordered the prominent Russian architect Leonid Sherwood to use the Neuschwanstein Castle in Germany as an example for the new construction, but to make the building even more fairytale-like.
The available land only measured 20 x 10 meters, so the castle was built up high with turrets, spires and open battlements. Inside the main tower, there were 2 tiny bedrooms. The living room, with a large fireplace and stairs, were brought closer to the “shore” for security reasons. Sherwood made a beautiful toy “copy” of the Gothic Rhine castles but did not take into account that large grottoes were located under the cliff. Behind the balconies, at the edge of the cliff, there was originally a garden, but in 1927 an earthquake occurred, and the rock upon which the castle stood broke: the garden fell into the sea, and one main tower was almost completely destroyed.
The next large-scale reconstruction took place in the 1960s. Originally it was proposed that the castle be dismantled brick by brick and moved “to the mainland”, however, this idea was abandoned. The Soviet architect Tatiev was responsible for the eventual reconstruction and the Swallow’s Nest was “rebuilt” with the entire castle being dismantled with each brick numbered and then reassembled on an earthquake-resistant slab placed on top of the rock.
Известный всем небольшой замок на вершине скалы в поселке Гаспра, недалеко от Ялты, построен в 1911 году архитектором А. Шервудом по заказу барона Ф. Штейнгеля. Известный нефтепромышленник хотел придать своей даче образ рыцарского замка и даже дал название «Генералиф», что означает «замок любви». Однако это название не прижилось. Архитектор построил дачу-замок в готическом стиле, добавив в убранство фасада аркатурные фризы, декоративные башенки, зубчатое завершение стен.
Размер постройки совсем не велик: ширина 10 метров, длина 20 метров, а высота 12 метров. Столь величественным здание делает, безусловно, его местоположение, ведь высота скалы, на которой оно расположено, — более 40 метров. Внутри дома разместились прихожая, гостиная с большими окнами, лестница, ведущая на башню, и две спальни.
Барон В. Штейнгель продал дом в 1914 году и уехал из России. Новый хозяин открыл в «Ласточкином гнезде» ресторан, который успешно работал.
Угроза над постройкой нависла во время землетрясения 1927 года, когда обрушилась часть скалы. К счастью, здание устояло, но была частично разрушена башня и пострадала смотровая площадка. В последующие годы здесь размещался красный уголок дома-отдыха, читальный зал, а затем столовая, пока здание не опустело из-за аварийного состояния.
Реконструкция началась в 1968 году и продлилась три года; под основание «Ласточкиного гнезда» была подведена монолитная железобетонная труба, были восстановлены архитектурные элементы наружного декора.

The Big Khan Mosque is located on the Palace Square to the east of the northern gate. It is one of the largest mosques in the Crimea and one of the first buildings of the Khan's palace. The mosque was built in 1532 by Sahib I Giray and bore his name in the 17th century.
In 1736 the mosque was damaged by fire and later restored during the reign of Khan Selameta Giray.

Большая Ханская мечеть является одним из главных символов Бахчисарая. Построенная в 1532 году при Сахибе I Герае, она до сих пор считается одной из крупнейших мечетей Крымского полуострова.
Внушительное сооружение со стрельчатой аркадой и майоликовыми вставками венчает четырехскатная черепичная крыша. Своды внутреннего зала поддерживают высокие колонны, а на южной стене мечети расположены красивые витражные окна и михраб.
По периметру верхнего яруса проходит широкий балкон, или хоры, где можно увидеть великолепную Ханскую ложу, также украшенную витражами и узорами. В Ханскую ложу со двора ведет отдельный вход. Большая Ханская мечеть имеет два островерхих десятигранных минарета, достигающих в высоту 28 метров. Крыши минаретов венчают бронзовые полумесяцы.
В 50-е годы XVIII столетия во дворе мечети работало медресе, не сохранившееся до наших дней. В советское время Ханская мечеть была закрыта, а ее помещения использовались под музей и лапидарий. И лишь недавно мечеть была вновь возвращена верующим.

The cathedral in St. Gall is beautiful and richly decorated with frescos. As one of other numerous visitors to the church, it is almost impossible to capture it in their full glory in a photo. So I stuck to the details that are perhaps often overlooked.
But whenever you are in St. Gallen, make sure to step into the cathedral and admire it in all its glory. And especially the craftsmanship of the builders.
Thanks for your criticism and as always, favs, likes and comments are gratefully appreciated!

Tiriolo fu fondato, si dice, dai greci circa 600 anni prima della guerra contro Troia, Tryoros da cui il suo nome dai 3 monti che lo circondano. È possibile che venne fondato in questo punto per la sua grande posizione strategica; si dice anche che qui si sia fermato Ulisse e che il suo territorio sia la terra dei Feaci. La popolazione originaria era composta da greci, fino a quando il sito, circa intorno al 500 a.C., venne conquistato dalla popolazione di stirpe indoeuropea detti Brettii o Bruzi e perse i contatti con la madre-patria, la Grecia
