The magnificent fortress of Le Castella is located on the eastern end of the Gulf of Squillace in the province of Crotone. To be precise, in Isola di Capo Rizzuto looking out over the protected marine reserve of the same name. You don't need much imagination to see the Aragonese soldiers locked in combat with Turkish pirates five centuries ago.Точный век основание Ле Кастелла неизвестен, возможно, ее возвели в период Великой Греции. Впоследствии крепость претерпела целый ряд изменений и модификаций, наибольшие из них произошли в период Арагонского правления.

Es un antiguo monasterio benedictino situado en Guadalajara, España. Su origen se remonta al siglo VII, si bien la estructura actual data de finales del siglo XI.

  

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

Ba Na Hills resort is located nearly 1,500 meters above sea level and roughly half an hour west of the central Vietnamese city of Da Nang.

Ba Na Hills resort was discovered by the French in the late nineteenth century. They have built here many large villas, sports grounds and a range of restaurants. For nearly a century, war and time have made this place gradually desolate. Yet, since the end of the twentieth century, Ba Na Hills has been woken up with the efforts of local authorities and people there. This scenic area is being upgraded and expanded.

Palma de Mallorca has a lot to offer. Aside from the obvious sights that you can't miss, especially if you're following the tourist flow, it's always worth leaving the main streets for the smaller, quieter streets and looking left and right. Many beautiful details can only be glimpsed in this way.

Фонтан «Нептун» (Fontana del Nettuno) – памятник неоклассицизма конца XVIII в. Эстетика этого периода выражает бунт против церковного аскетизма, уводящего от природы. Античный бог Нептун – олицетворение природы – возвышается перед собором в честь католического мученика. Прохладные струи фонтана – символ связи Тренто с рекой Адидже, питающей город водой.

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.
