Remains of scheduled monument in the Torre district of Torquay.
Probably 14c.
From Historic England website:
The monument includes the medieval St Michael's Chapel, a rectangular stone- built structure considered to be of 14th century date. The chapel is situated on the summit of Chapel Hill, on the edge of a steep sided limestone cliff which may be a former quarry face. The location is a commanding one with extensive views over Torbay. The chapel, which is a Grade II Listed Building, survives as a standing building built of limestone rubble with contrasting red sandstone quoins, and entrance and window dressings also of sandstone; the roof is of local stone slate carried on a barrel vault. A large Bathstone cross of mid-19th century date surmounts the east gable end. The chapel is orientated east-west and consists of a single aisleless cell with external dimensions of 11.2m east- west by 6.6m north-south and with walls 1.2m thick. It has a single arched entrance 1.4m wide in the south wall fronted by the remains of a later stone porch; the entrance is barred by a modern iron grill. The floor of the chapel is provided by the unhewn rock upon which the building stands; this rock floor, which rises from west to east, shows considerable signs of wear close to the entrance indicating many years of use and suggesting also that the rock had never been sealed by an artificial floor covering. Internal features include traces of original wall plaster, a niche in the south wall which may have been a piscina, and opposing windows in the north and south walls. The north facing window has been blocked whilst the south facing window has been partly blocked. Two further small windows on contrasting levels are set into the west wall. The chapel may have belonged to the Premonstratensian house of Torre Abbey which was founded in 1196 and which lies about 1.5km to the south although direct supporting evidence for its connection with Torre Abbey only exists for the post-medieval period. The exposed rock floor within the building has been taken to suggest that the chapel may mark the site of a religious vision. The site is shown as St Marie's Chapel on the 16th century map of Devon produced by John Speed and an earlier dedication of the chapel to St Mary survives in 17th century records, suggesting that the dedication to St Michael is of more recent origin. The post-medieval boundary walls to the north and south of the chapel, where these lie within the monument's 2m margin of protection, and the stone access steps on the north east exterior corner of the chapel, which also lie within the 2m margin of protection, and the iron grill across the entrance to the chapel, are excluded from the scheduling, although the ground beneath these features or to which they are attached is included.

On the opposite side of the narrow valley, one can see the unusual farm buildings of the monastery in the form of large Ukrainian huts. In fact, the roofs of these buildings are nothing more than protruding rocks, to which only one wall was added, and a large barn turned out. Monks breed there all kinds of livestock for food: chickens, turkeys, geese. There are also vegetable stores and other utility rooms.

На противоположной стороне узкой долины видны необычные хозяйственные строения монастыря в виде больших украинских хат. На самом деле крыши этих строений не что иное, как выступающие скальные породы, к которым только пристроили одну стену, и получился большой сарай. Монахи разводят там всякую живность для пропитания: кур, индюков, гусей. Там же расположены овощехранилища и другие подсобные помещения.

Over three hundred years of great collections underpin the history of Villa Carlotta, where art walks side by side with nature in a breath-taking landscape scenario. Overlooking the shores of Lake Como, the villa was built in the late-seventeenth century by Marquis Giorgio Clerici of Milan. In 1801 Villa Carlotta was sold by Caterina Bigli Clerici, the last descendant of the noble Milanese family, to Giovanni Battista Sommariva, at the time President of the Governing Committee of the Cisalpine Republic (1797–1802) established by Napoleon Bonaparte in northern Italy. In 1843, Sommariva’s heirs sold the villa to Princess Marianne of Prussia, who gifted the residence to her daughter Charlotte (1831–55) when she married Duke Georg II of Saxe-Meiningen (1826-1914). Despite the early death of his beloved wife in 1855, the duke and his family stayed on at the Lake Como abode, adapting the dwelling to changing needs and tastes, renewing furnishings and décor, as well as adding numerous rare botanical specimens that can still be admired today. During World War I the villa was confiscated by the Italian state and its management entrusted to the Ente Villa Carlotta, established by Royal Decree in 1927.
История виллы начинается с конца XVII века. Внук разбогатевшего на продаже шёлка торговца, Giorgio Cerici, ставший маркизом, решил возвести на берегу озера Комо летнюю резиденцию, это было в 1690 году. Около виллы был разбит парк, первые упоминания о котором датируются 1699 годом. Трёхэтажное здание виллы было сооружено в 1745 году уже при его внуке - маркизе Anton Giorgio Cerici (1715-1768), который перед смертью разорился на строительстве своего дворца в Милане. В 1801 году единственная дочь Антона Джорджо продала виллу банкиру и другу Наполеона Giovanni Sommariva (1762-1826). Чтобы любоваться видом озера, Соммарива добавил балконы, установил большие часы на фасаде, приобрёл работы известных скульпторов и художников, часть парка превратил в романтический сад в английском стиле. После его кончины наследники всё его имущество распродали. В 1843 году виллу купила принцесса Марианна, жена принца Альберта Прусского. Примечательно, что за виллу она заплатила в десять раз больше, чем 40 лет назад Джованни Соммарива. Спустя четыре года принцесса подарила виллу своей дочери Карлотте как свадебный подарок. Вилла знаменита своим парком, в котором насчитывается более 150 разновидностей азалий, есть также древние камелии, рододендроны, кедры, многовековые секвойи, платаны. Большая в заслуга в создании парка приналдлежит мужу Карлотты, в честь которой была названа вилла, герцогу Саксен-Мейнинген Георгу II (1826-1914). Герцог был не только покровителем искусств, на вилле часто гостил Йоханнес Брамс, но и увлекался ботаникой и вместе со своим сыном Бернардо III расширял парк. После его смерти в 1914 году имущество перешло к сыну, герцогу Бернарду III (1851-1928), последнему герцогу Саксен-Мейнингенскому. В 1921 году вилла была конфискована и в 1927 году передана в фонд "Вилла Карлотта".

State Historical Museum is the largest national museum of Russia. Its collections have been forming for more than 100 years and now contain over 4.5 million items. Architect Vladimir Sherwood and engineer Anatoly Semenov created the building of the museum on Red Square. It was opened for visitors in June 1883 during the celebrations of Emperor Alexander III coronation. The exposition starts in a majestic Ceremonial Entrance Hall (Paradnye seny) with “The Genealogical Tree of Russian Rulers” painted on the vaults. The first halls (1–7) introduce ancient history: the development of human civilization in Stone, Bronze and Iron Ages.
Почти полтора столетия Красную площадь Москвы украшает величественное здание Исторического музея, построенное в 1875–1883 гг. специально для размещения национальной сокровищницы России. Своим появлением один из старейших московских музеев обязан грандиозной Всероссийской Политехнической выставке. Инициаторами создания музея выступили организаторы ее Севастопольского отдела, посвященного героической обороне Севастополя во время Крымской войны, а также исследованиям древнего Херсонеса. 9 февраля 1872 года было получено "высочайшее соизволение" императора Александра II на устройство в Москве Исторического музея имени цесаревича Александра Александровича. Эта дата считается днем основания будущего Государственного исторического музея. Идея создания музея национальной истории объединила множество людей — ученых, военных, художников, промышленников, государственных деятелей, членов царской фамилии и рядовых граждан. Московская городская дума отдала под строительство музея участок земли на Красной площади, изначально планировавшийся для размещения собственного здания. В августе 1875 года император Александр II лично заложил камень в основание будущего музея. 27 мая 1883 года, в дни коронационных торжеств, Исторический музей посетил император Александр III с императрицей Марией Федоровной.
Szék (Sic) is a sleepy village not far from Kolozsvár (Cluj) in Transylvania (Romania).
The Szék community managed to preserve its unique folk traditions, distinctive styles of music, dance, embroidery, and costume through the centuries. Many of the older villagers still wear their traditional costume as they go about their everyday life.
St. Bernard de Clairvaux Church is a medieval Spanish monastery cloister which was built in the town of Sacramenia in Segovia, Spain, in the 12th century but dismantled in the 20th century and shipped to New York City in the United States. It was eventually reassembled at 16711 West Dixie Highway, North Miami Beach, Florida, where it is now an Episcopal church and tourist attraction called Ancient Spanish Monastery. It is the oldest European-built structure in the Western Hemisphere.
