Turf roofs are traditional Scandinavian living roofs. They're fairly common throughout the Faroe Islands, and you can even find them in the middle of the bigger towns as well. Overall though, there's a mix of traditional turf houses and houses with more modern construction techniques.
There are a number of environmental and cost benefits to having a turf house, such as reduced heating costs and longer lifespan of the roof overall. From a practical standpoint though, you now have to maintain your roof more so than modern roofs. They are however, quite cool to look at.

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

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.

Ragusa (Italian: [raˈɡuːza] Sicilian: Rausa; Latin: Ragusia) is a city and comune in southern Italy.
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.
The Buonconsiglio Castle, splendid residence of the Prince Bishops and symbol of the city of Trento, is made up of different parts built in different ages: an older one, called Castelvecchio, includes Torre Aquila, with the frescoes of the Cycle of the Months, a masterpiece of Gothic art that takes us to the heart of courtly and peasant life at the end of the 14th century. Then there is a Renaissance part, the Magno Palazzo, commissioned by the Prince Bishop Bernardo Cles and richly frescoed, while another wing of the palace, the Giunta Albertiana, is from the Baroque age. During the First World War the trial against the irredentists Cesare Battisti, Fabio Filzi and Damiano Chiesa was held here.
Мощная цитадель с толстыми стенами, окнами-бойницами, оборонительными башнями, подъемным мостом – типичное строение XIII века в романском стиле. Внутри находились подземелья и камеры пыток. Через 200 лет была надстроена высокая Орлина башня (Torre dell’Aquila) – веяние готики; внутренние росписи башни – сцены времен года – ценнейший памятник готического искусства. В XVI в. к крепости был пристроен Парадный дворец (Magno Palazzo): фронтоны, галереи с колоннадами, росписи на темы античных сюжетов – это уже Ренессанс. Новая пристройка к замку – La Giunta Albertiana с элементами барокко была сделана в XVII.
It was used as the state temple for King Suryavarman II and became his final resting place. The temple was designed to represent the mythical home of the Hindu Gods – Mount Meru.
Angkor Wat has become the national symbol of Cambodia. It is featured on the national flag, many businesses feature the name “Angkor” and there is even a beer named in its honour. Ангкор Ват представляет собой часть храмового комплекса г. Ангкор в индуистском стиле, который был древней столицей Камбоджи вплоть до XV в. На сегодняшний день он сохранился лучше других храмов, расположенных на территории г. Ангкор. Храм Ангкор Ват даже изображен на государственном флаге Камбоджи.
Построен храм в период c 1113 по 1150 гг. при правлении короля Сурьявармана II (посмертное имя – Парамавишнулок) и, по одной из версий, возводился, как усыпальница для него.
I like visiting cities. Of course, it's wonderful to stroll through the streets in the sunshine and enjoy a coffee outside. But you can also spend time in cities when the weather is bad. In Paris it can rain for days and you would discover something new every day in the Louvre. Fortunately, the rain didn't last that long. Looking out of the window of the museum at the world-famous glass pyramid, Paris showed its impressive side even in the rain.

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.

The Lord Kitchener, Curbridge. Formerly known as The Herd of Swine, it's name was changed around the time of the first world war.
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.
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.
In 1892, on a picturesque climbing cliff - a red rock - at an altitude of 400 m above sea level, the foros church was laid. A church was built on the means of owner of the estate of the form, "Tea King" A.G. Kuznetsov in memory of "wonderful" events on October 17, 1888 at the Kursko-Kharkov Bil Station railwayWhen, during the crash, the royal family remained unharmed.
The place for the construction was chosen the most picturesque: the church was built on the red color of a sheer cliff, ripped away from the main array, surrounded by the greens of the forests. She seems to soar between heaven and earth.
The project developed an architect N.M. Chagin. The church was built in the Byzantine temple style, which is distinguished by a special technique of masonry from wide flat brick-dlinges and using numerous domes by type of Russian wooden temples. With her silhouette church reminds Moscow Churches of the late XVIII century.
Церковь Воскресения Христова была построена после железнодорожной катастрофы на станции Борки, в которую попал император Александр III со своей семьёй. К счастью, никто из членов императорской семьи не пострадал. Такое чудесное спасение стало поводом для возведения нового храма. Церковь Воскресения Христова была построена в 1892 году. Для ее возведения понадобилось четыре года. Оба яруса Церкви Воскресения Христова возведены в стиле византийских построек, а материалом послужил белый инкерманский камень. Девять куполов имеют разные размеры, что очень напоминает российские церкви ⅩⅦ столетия. Украшает церковь крыльцо, расписанное узорами, и стремящаяся высоко вверх колокольня. Использованный в строительстве каррарский мрамор, а также разноцветные витражи, придавали храму торжественность и нарядность.
The 16th-century Dai Halima Mosque contains the mausoleum of a royal midwife named Halima, with elegant jali screens. The monument is off the beaten track and is one of the most soothing locations in Ahmedabad. Persian and Sanskrit inscriptions on the walls tell the legend of the memorial. It is said that Dhai Harir (also known as Bai Harir Sultani), a household lady of Mahmud Begada, commissioned this stepwell. She built a mosque alongside a small tomb, in which she was buried.
