MOL Campus, a neomodern skyscraper, is the headquarters of the Hungarian oil and gas company, MOL Group, in Budapest, Hungary. The building's construction was overseen by the architectural firm Foster + Partners, who were commissioned to develop the detailed designs for the project. The tower is currently the tallest building in Budapest and Hungary.
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.
The Shwedagon Pagoda is one of the most famous pagodas in the world and it is certainly the main attraction of Yangon, Myanmar’s capital city.
The formal name of the Shwedagon Pagoda is Shwedagon Zedi Daw, which translates as The Great Golden Mountain Stupa. Nothing could be nearer to the truth, the stupa is plated with nearly 22,000 solid gold bars, it’s set with over 5500 diamonds, the main spire boasts 2300 rubies, sapphires, and other gems, and 4000 golden bells… not forgetting the largest of which is a whopping 72 carat diamond.

If you have already been to Basel, then you surely know the old town and the Rhine. But have you already visited the other architectural highlights? There are almost innumerable well-known and less well-known architects .... e.g. at the Helsinkidreispitz, like the building in the picture.

Street vendor with sombrero
A street vendor is a person who offers goods or services for sale to the public without having a permanently built structure but with a temporary static structure or mobile stall (or head-load). Street vendors could be stationary and occupy space on the pavements or other public/private areas, or could be mobile, and move from place to place carrying their wares on push carts or in cycles or
baskets on their heads, or could sell their wares in moving buses. The Government of India has used the term’ urban vendor’ as inclusive of both traders and service providers, stationary as well as mobile, and incorporates all other local/region specific terms used to describe them, such as, hawker, pheriwalla, rehri-patri walla, footpath dukandars, sidewalk traders, and more.

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.

La torre Eiffel de París.
Todo Paris está en obras para las olimpiadas de 2024, pero de noche no se ven tanto los andamios.
Aquí iluminada con los colores de Ucrania para que no se nos olvide lo que está pasando aquí al lado.

For a very short time, when the lights of the Chain Bridge pillars are just warming up - they are green in color . After a few moments the pillars are illuminated with the regular, yellowish colored light.Traffic flows through the bridge and the Clarck Adam roundabout at the blue hour in Budapest, Hungary.
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.
Построена в 1282 году и почти полностью перестроенная в 18 веке, в интерьере которой, тем не менее, сохранились фрески и алтарный образ 15 века
The Khan's Palace in Bakhchisaray was built in the 16th century and served as a residence for a succession of Crimean Khans. The Crimean Khanate was a Turkic vassal state of the Ottoman Empire from 1478 to 1774 -- the longest-lived of the Turkic khanates that succeeded the empire of the Golden Horde.

Строительство дворца началось при Менгли-Гирее I в 1503 г. параллельно с новой Ханской столицей, к этому периоду времени относится возведение Демир-Капы. Но основные работы по его созданию велись в период правления Сахиб-Гирея I: с 1532 по 1551 гг. было построено большинство прекрасных зданий.
Однако говорить, что возведение его закончили незадолго до смерти Сахиб-Гирея, было бы неправильно. Фактически каждый из ханов добавлял что-то свое – так и продолжалось до ликвидации Крымского ханства в 1785 г. Во время русско-турецкой войны 1735-1739 гг. в 1736 г. Бахчисарай был взят русскими войсками, а ханская резиденция сожжена по приказу фельдмаршала Миниха.

The soldier's barracks at Fort Larned National Historic Site near Larned, Ks. in Pawnee County. Fort Larned was established to protect travelers, trail commerce, and the mail on the Sante Fe Trail. The fort complex consists of nine buildings arranged around a 400 ft. square parade ground.
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!
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.
