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.

Tolga Convent was founded in 1314 on the left bank of the Volga river, on the place of miraculous appearance of the Tolga Icon of the Mother of God. Against all odds of history, beginning with Mongol Yoke, Tolga Convent emerged from ruins and desolation and nowadays attracts thousands of pilgrims. The convent is located not far from Yaroslavl; on the left bank of the river Volga, at the place of confluence of a small river Tolgobolka (or Tolga) into Volga. White stone walls with high angle towers, cathedrals with multiple heads, glaring golden domes and crosses and a predominating massive bell-tower form one magnificent harmonious structure, captivating eyes of those travelling along Volga. The cedar grove has been planted here in the 16th century to commemorate the miraculous appearance of the icon after fire.

 

Епископ Прохор, возвращаясь по Волге в Ярославль из Белозерья, 7 августа 1314 года вместе с бывшими при нем священниками остановился ночевать на правом берегу Волги в 8 верстах от Ярославля. В полночь он увидел на противоположном берегу сияющий огненный столп и мост к нему. Утром 8 августа там была обретена икона Пресвятой Богородицы. На этом месте святитель начал строить церковь. В начале XV века здесь произошел пожар. Сгорели кельи, ограда, пламя мгновенно объяло и церковь. Спасти из церковной утвари ничего не удалось. Но когда огонь потух, святую икону обрели вне монастыря, в лесу, совершенно невредимую и сияющую светом. В Смутное время Толгская обитель была полностью разорена, но чудотворная икона уцелела. 1612 год отмечен в летописи монастыря древнейшим из известных крестных ходов с Толгской иконой Богородицы в Ярославль, назначенный тогда сборным пунктом для народных ополчений, собиравшихся для спасения Москвы и Русского государства.

The castle stands where probably the Hipponion Acropolis was located, which partly extended to the nearby hill. Although the first phase of construction of the structure was vaguely attributed to the Norman age, in fact it dates back to the Svevo period. The castle today features cylindrical towers, a ram tower and a doorway to an Angevin arch. It is currently home to the State Archaeological Museum. Замок находится на вершине холма, где когда-то располагался акрополь античный Хиппонион. Замок выполнен в форме корабля и возвышается над городом Вибо Валентина и долины Мезима. Замок построен в период между 1000 и 1074 годами по прикажу Роджера Норманнского, изначально замок задумывался как обычная крепость, которая должна была состоять из одиночной треугольной башни по центру, которая окружена круглыми башнями.

Todo Paris está en obras para las olimpiadas de 2024, pero de noche no se ven tanto los andamios.

There is a weekly market in Sineu. It is said to be one, if not the biggest. For sure it attracts many people, primarily tourists. If you take it upon yourself to get up a little earlier, you don't exactly have the market to yourself, but it is still quiet and less touristy. Also in the church, which watches over the village in the middle of the hustle and bustle, it is even more tranquil. And also the seller just outside the church has some time to read.

 

Thanks for your criticism and as always, favs, likes and comments are gratefully appreciated!

Loi Krathong is a Siamese festival celebrated annually throughout the Kingdom of Thailand and in neighboring countries with significant Southwestern Thai cultures. Sukhothai Historical Park were you can rent a bike, go on an open bus, golf cart or just walk on your own.

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.

The fort was constructed on the site of an ancient watchtower and construction began in 1556 under the direction King John III who wished to have the mouth of the Tagus river sufficiently protected from invaders.

 

The fortress was used as a political prison both at the end of the Portuguese monarchy and during the Salazar dictatorship with prisoners held in awful conditions.

 

The structure was constructed primary for defence and lacks any artistic beauty with the solid walls constructed from drab stone and masonry plaster.

The facade of Palazzo Cavalli (the building in the middle) shows wooden consoles allowing the upper floors to protrude from the ground floor - a construction principle that was prohibited later. The palazzo is a a popular place for civil weddings. Adjacent to it to the left is Ca' Farsetti - a 13th century palace where George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin were officially married. Finally, the building on the right is Palazzo Ca' Loredan, currently home to Venice's municipal council.

Dusk hours with their warm colors, doubled by the lake reflection, could turn urban sterile and overly aesthetically designed into a pleasant place.
