Milan Cathedral, called Duomo di Milano in Italian, is a vast Gothic-style cathedral, located in the heart of Milan. It is 515 ft (157 metres) long and 302 ft (92 m) wide. It can house up to 40.000 people. Il Duomo di Milano is one of the largest Catholic churches in the world. The construction of Milan Cathedral began in 1386, which coincided with Gian Galeazzo Visconti coming into power. The purpose of this impressive construction was to modernize the area and to celebrate the expansion of the Visconti territory. The Cathedral took five centuries to complete. During this time, various architects, sculptors and artists contributed to the famous construction program known as the “Fabbrica del Duomo”. The result was an impressive and unique piece of architecture, which merged the international Gothic style with the Lombard Romanesque style.
С учетом всех декораторских работ строительство осуществлялось 579 лет. Мало какие сооружения могут похвастаться столь серьезным и длительным подходом к созданию уникального произведения искусства. В массивной церкви может вместиться около 40 000 человек. Если взглянуть на здание с высоты птичьего полета, то станет ясно, что оно напоминает католический крест, у которого вертикаль составляет 158 м, а горизонтальный неф – 92 м. Наивысшая точка собора – шпиль, украшенный статуей Девы Марии, высота самого высокого шпиля – 106 м.
Szék is an island of Hungarian ethnicity in central Transylvania (Romania). The town received its name in the Middle Ages from the local salt mines (szik in the old language means salt).
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
Yes, there are moments when you even have a city like Venice almost all to yourself, and not even necessarily in a small alleyway away from the hustle and bustle of the tourists. Just visit Venice in January and wait for a cool and rainy night and the city is almost deserted.

LEÇA DA PALMEIRA (Portugal): Quinta da Conceição.
Quinta da Conceição é um parque público localizado na freguesia de Leça da Palmeira, concelho de Matosinhos, distrito do Porto, em Portugal.
Inicialmente o local era as instalações do Convento de Nossa Senhora da Conceição da Ordem de São Francisco que lá chegou em 1481. Algumas décadas depois o clima agreste fez com que o convento deixasse o local.
Durante mais de três séculos o local ficou abandonado sendo vendido em hasta pública apenas em 1834.
Actualmente ainda é visível o antigo claustro do convento, alguns chafarizes, um portal de estilo manuelino e a capela de São Francisco, onde se encontra sepultado Frei João da Póvoa. (Wikipedia)
The elegant Dulber Palace, built in the late 19th century for the Prince Pyotr Nikolayevich, an uncle of the last Russian Imperator Nicholas II, is one of the brightest architectural gems at the Southern Coast of Crimea.The story of this amazing palace with high-sounding name Dulber (Crimean Tatar for beautiful) started in 1893, when the Prince Pyotr Nikolayevich who adored Yalta bought a plot of land for his manor’s construction in the warmest place of the Southern Coast. The construction works began two years later. Majestic palace’s design was based on the sketches, made by the Grand Prince. Having poor health since childhood, he often traveled to the Middle East and the Maghreb on doctors’ advice and always brought back albums with own sketches of architectural monuments that had impressed him. The implementation of the project was assigned to Yalta’s main city architect, who had already had a rich experience in palaces’ construction on the Southern Coast of Crimea with its steep terrain.
After the revolution of 1917 and establishment of the Soviet authority in Crimea, all Romanovs, who lived on the peninsula, were in danger of physical violence. Then, it was decided to turn the elegant palace into fortified fortress with machinegun nests on the roof and guard of Sevastopol military garrison’s armed sailors. Palace’s thick walls literally saved the lives of royal family members.
Дворец Дюльбер был создан уроженцем Ялты архитектором Красновым Н.П., который спроектировал его в мавританском стиле, с арочными окнами и зубчатыми стенами. Во Дворце было около ста комнат, в египетском и сирийском стилях. Строили Дворец два года, начиная с 1895 года. Дворец «Дюльбер» был построен для яркого представителя известной династии Российской империи - Романова Петра Николаевича.
Дворец послужил своеобразной крепостью для всех членов семьи Романовых, которые находились на Крымском полуострове в период с 1917 по 1919 годы. Во дворце осуществлялась защита представителей Императорской семьи, под руководством Задорожного Ф.Л., так как было распоряжение Временного правительства об уничтожении всех Романовых. Зубчатые стены служили местом расположения пулеметных гнезд. Временному правительству так и не удалось взять штурмом дворец «Дюльбер» и в 1919 году всем членам семьи Романовых, находившихся во дворце, удалось эмигрировать. Практически два года Задорожный защищал Романовых от радикально настроенных активистов Большевиков, а в 1918 году когда Крым захватили немцы с УНР, Романовы оберегли Задорожного от расправы.

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.

When I'm travelling to a place and have my camera in my luggage, I often have a few pictures in my head that I want to take. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I don't. But I'm always surprised at the spontaneous motifs that appear when you just walk through the neighbourhood with your eyes wide open.
Like this mirror, for example, which was leaning against a wall in Venice and in which the backdrop of the lagoon city is wonderfully reflected. It's definitely worth getting down on your knees for and in front of it.

This Hungarian stilt village is built in a lake that never freezes over due to the power plant that uses it as a cooling pond.
The neighboring towns of Bokod and Oroszlány, have more than two linear miles of cabins and cottages suspended on stilts over Lake Bokodi. The little houses are mostly used by locals in the summer months, but they also cater to year-round anglers who take advantage of one weird fact about the lake — despite the frigid Hungarian winters, it rarely freezes over.
