Jumièges Abbey is one of Normandy's oldest and most important Benedictine monasteries. Recent excavations on the church of Saint Pierre have made it possible to date its construction from the end of the 8th century, making this building a unique testimony of a Carolingian Christian church.
Palazzo Mezzanotte was built in 1932 to centralise all the market trading places which were spread allover Milan. The new Stock Exchange building fits in a complex urban project planned by the Architect Paolo Mezzanotte. It became an architectural symbol of Fascism. The original structure still maintains its impressive façade of 36 meters. The travertine blocks are combined with allegoric figures symbolising wealth and abundance designed by Leone Lodi e Gemignano Cibau. The sides of the building are adorned with a series of bricks and travertine blocks and an inscription plaque of marble stands out. It represents the Roman Ruins which were discovered during the excavation phase. The final result was a triumph of rationalism which also encompasses classical elements.
Palazzo Mezzanotte был построен в 1932 году, чтобы централизовать все рыночные торговые места, которые были распространены по всему Милану. Новое здание Биржи вписывается в комплексный городской проект, разработанный архитектором Паоло Мезанотте. Он стал архитектурным символом фашизма. Оригинальное сооружение до сих пор сохраняет свой впечатляющий фасад в 36 метров. Травертиновые блоки сочетаются с аллегорическими фигурами, символизирующими богатство и изобилие, разработанными Leone Lodi и Gemignano Cibau. Боковые стены здания украшены серией кирпичей и блоков травертина, а над ними возвышается надписная доска из мрамора. Он представляет собой римские руины, которые были обнаружены во время этапа раскопок. Конечным результатом стал триумф рационализма, который также включает в себя классические элементы.
It needs no description, probably every child knows it, the Eiffel Tower. It towers high above the city of Paris. The landmark par excellence. Have you ever imagined what the city would look like without it? There would be something missing.
Temple Island, Henley on Thames.
Temple Island is an eyot, about a mile and a half north and downstream of Henley-on-Thames. The downstream end of the island is the start of the Henley Royal Regatta course.
The building on the island is an ornamental temple, a folly constructed in 1771 and designed James Wyatt.

At the intersection of legend, tradition, and history stands the Basilica di Sant'Eustorgio. The foundation of this 4th century basilica is built upon the spot where, according to tradition, the apostle Barnabas baptized the first Christians in Milan. Eustorgio I, the city bishop from 344 AD, had the church built to house the relics of the Three Kings; legend has it that the animals pulling the cart of relics reached the spot and refused to continue. It may also coincide with a cemetery of early Christians martyred prior to the Edict of Milan. Whatever lies beneath it, today the church is filled with works by Lombard artists from the 13th to the 15th centuries. The main attraction, however, is the Cappella Portinari next door, built in the mid-1400s, and the earliest true Renaissance work in the city. It is a striking combination of classical forms and typical Lombard fresco decoration, and houses the intricate Ark of St Peter Martyr.
Первая церковь на месте базилики Сант-Эусторджо была построена в IV в. и названа в честь епископа Евсторгия. Этот священник перенес в Милан из Константинополя мощи трех царей, принесших свои дары Иисусу Христу. Имеются сведения, что в 515 г. был построен новый храм, который после реконструкции в XI в. приобрел романские черты. В XII в. войска Священной Римской империи взяли Милан. Базилика Сант-Эусторджо была почти полностью разрушена, а Фридрих I Барбаросса увез мощи трех царей. По сей день они хранятся в Кёльнском соборе, лишь часть их была возвращена в миланский храм в 1903 г. В 1219 г. Доминик де Гусман направил в Ломбардию монахов основанного им нового католического ордена. С 1227 г. базилика Сант-Эусторджо официально являлась главным доминиканским храмом Милана. Члены ордена восстановили и расширили храм, пострадавший во время захвата города войсками Фридриха Барбароссы. В XIV-XV в.в. к базилике было пристроено несколько капелл, принадлежавших знатным семьям. Некоторые из них являются великолепными образцами искусства эпохи Ренессанса. В тот же период была построена и 75-метровая колокольня с арками и шатровой крышей в ломбардском стиле. Ее увенчала восьмиконечная звезда, напоминающая об украденных мощах трех царей. На колокольне были установлены башенные часы, первые в Италии.

Sivasubramania Swami Kovil
A tower made up of intricate carvings of small statues rises high a height of about 80 feet and looms over you as if to protect the sacred temple underneath This Hindu temple is known as the Arulmihu Sivasubramania Swami Kovil. This temple has a long history of about 125 years and was built to worship Lord Muruga, otherwise known as God Kataragama. This is of great importance to the Hindu people as well as the Buddhist people who are found travelling in great numbers to devoutly worship at the shrine of Kataragama on the south of the island.
The most outstanding sight is the tower known as raja gopuram. This tower was built in 1994 fully embellished with colourful statues of Hindu deities. It is also accompanied by two smaller towers and a clock house.
The construction of this tower was followed by a celebration called Kumbabishekam which is a traditional ceremony that is held after rehabilitation or a reconstruction of a temple.

432 Park Avenue is the skinniest supertall skyscraper and tallest residential building (96 stories high) in the world. Because much of One World Trade Center's height is in its spire and its base is nearly 40 feet (12 m) lower, the rooftop of 432 Park Ave is, as of 2018, the highest in New York City.
The most remarkable thing about 432 Park, however, is not just its sheer size. It is the fact that, in a building so tall and imposing, with over 400,000 square feet of usable interior space, there are only 104 units for people to live in. 432 Park Avenue is, in short, a monument to the epic rise of the global super-wealthy. It is the house that historic inequality built. The top-floor penthouse was sold for an astonishing $95 million.
Basilica dei Santi Giovanni e Paolo is the largest church in Venice, even bigger than Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari. The church’s name translated into English is “Basilica of Saint John and Paul”. It was established by the Dominicans and it took nearly one century to build. It was finally consecrated on 12 November 1430. The Doge Jacopo Tiepolo had a vision in which he was told that part of his swampland was to be dedicated to God’s preachers. Thus, he donated this part of his land to the Dominicans and it is where the church currently stands.
Земля для этой церкви была, так же как и для Фрари, представленна по приказу Дожа Якопо Тьеполо. Первая церковь здесь была построена в 983 году, но впервые документально упоминается в 1184 году. Доминиканцам дали землю около 1230 года, и их первая церковь была завершена в 13 веке. Вскоре она оказалась слишком маленькой. Однако, работа над гораздо большей церковью началась в начале 14 века. В 1430 был завершен неф, и церковь была освящена в 1458-62. Церковь так же называют "Венецианский Пантеон", так как в ней находятся двадцать пять гробниц дожей.
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.

One of the most outstanding structures within the compound of Wat Phra Kaew is the Phra Si Rattana Chedi (Sri Lankan style), which enshrines relics of the Buddha.
This main Stupa was erected by King Rama IV in 1855 and regarded as the most sacred in the Royal Chapel. In the hollow interior is a smaller stupas containing sacred Buddha relics. King Rama V had the exterior covered with golden mosaic tiles imported from Italy. This stupa was built in imitation of one of the three stupas at Wat Phra Si Sanphet which was the Royal Chapel in the old capital of Ayutthaya.
Nuestra fugaz escapada de fin de semana para conocer la comarca de Tierra de Campos fue pasando mientras las horas raudas se iban consumiendo. La hora de regresar llegó dando fin a un finde intenso, 32 localizaciones publicadas (algunas se quedaron para mejor ocasión), tiempo tormentoso y mil recuerdos.
Pertenece a la orden de las Carmelitas Descalzas desde el siglo XVII. El paso de los años destruyó lo que fue una bella construcción barroca que aún mantiene en pie una bella portada y los restos de los que fueron sus muros.

Venice, the lagoon city. Visited in January 2023, far away from the big tourist crowds. Special moods during the day and at night.
Este antiguo templo se abandonó construyendo uno nuevo dentro del núcleo, donde se llevaron las piedras nobles y los objetos de culto. Esta decisión parece tomada desde las incomodidades que creaba tener que desplazarse no poco trecho por un camino dificultoso. Con el cambio, lo que fue templo pasó a ser cementerio, condición que conserva actualmente.
