The structure was covered with white and pink marble from the Candoglia quarry in Val D’Ossola. The Cathedral’s roof is covered in openwork pinnacles and spires crowned with sculptures that overlook the city.
Фасад здания, его шпили и внутренние помещения, украшены невообразимым числом статуй – 3400. В это число входят изображения исторических личностей, святых, мучеников, пророков и прочих библейских персонажей. Не обошлось и без верных символов средневековья – горгулий и химер. Они, как верные атрибуты готики, угнездились на стенах здания, отгоняя нечисть. Среди наружной отделки здания попадаются весьма любопытные экземпляры, например, изображение Муссолини или же древний прототип статуи Свободы, что ныне стоит в США.

"Castle Hill Lighthouse is a solidly built structure, and has needed little more than routine care and maintenance over the years. The original wooden stairs were replaced by concrete steps in 1992. Castle Hill Light remains an important active aid to navigation, showing a flashing red light every thirty seconds, and has been used countless times as a beginning and ending point for the famous yacht races taking place in Newport."

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

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.
Throne Hall - The Throne Hall is where the king's confidants, generals and royal officials once carried out their duties. It is still in use today as a place for religious and royal ceremonies (such as coronations[1] and royal weddings) as well as a meeting place for guests of the King.

"In many parts of the world, having Barn Swallows nesting on one's property is considered a sign of good fortune or a harbinger of spring. Legend has it that Barn Swallows consoled Christ on the cross by trying to remove the crown of thorns from his head and attempting to divert those coming to arrest him in the Garden of Gethsemane. Stories are told that Barn Swallows got their forked tails because they stole fire from the gods to give to the people, and their central tail feathers were shortened when they were burnt off by a firebrand hurled by a wrathful deity. Other legends have it that cows will give bloody milk or go dry if anything inopportune happens to the Barn Swallows nesting on a farm; lightning may even strike a house if a Barn Swallow nest is removed." ~ Cornell Lab of Ornithology

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.

The Grand Canal flows quietly along. An eternal stream of water, animated by many small and large boats during the day, it lies quietly at night, reflecting the lights of the city in its waves. Especially in Venice at night in January, it is a very welcome and relaxing calm and view.

In the southern end of the complex is the known Eagle tower, which preserves the famous Cycle of the Months, one of the most fascinating pictorial cycles of profane late Middle Ages.
Возведенная над одноименными воротами, которые открылись в городских стенах и соединили ее с Вальсуганой, эта башня впервые упоминается в документе от 1290 года. Ее нынешняя трехэтажная структура обусловлена вмешательством, продвигаемым в конец 14-го века князь епископ Джорджо Лихтенштейн. Избранный в 1390 году, святитель захватил башню, которая принадлежала городу, соединив ее с Buonconsiglio Castle крытым переходом и превратив ее в частную резиденцию

As I strolled along the limestone path that has been bathed by sun and rain for 1,000 years, I felt I entered a world like fantasy that came to life, that took me back in time a thousand years.

L'ombrière du Vieux-Port, created in 2013 by acclaimed architect Norman Foster, is a mirrored shade erected at the foot of the port of Marseille. It's gigantic mirrored roof gives a reflection of the sea, or sometimes the street performers and their crows who often populate the square.
Lying in an inaccessible gravel pit are three well preserved examples of obsolete technology from the 1920s. They are acoustic mirrors designed to pick up the sound of approaching aircraft before they were visible. They were never taken into use because of the development of radar prior to World War 2. Here are all three sound mirrors.
