Esta torre data del Siglo XV; y es una robusta construcción coronada con una clásica cúpula en forma de cebolla, que durante mucho tiempo alimentó de agua las fuentes de la ciudad.
The church of San Maurizio al Monastero Maggiore stands on the site of a former place of worship, conceivably from the Lombard period, and is adjoined to the convent of the Benedictine nuns, the largest and oldest female monastery in Milan. Today, parts of the monastic complex that were located on the ruins of the Roman circus and walls still remain, alongside the church of San Maurizio and portions of the cloisters which are integral parts of the adjacent Civic Archaeological Museum.
The construction works on the edifice that we see today began in 1503 and are possibly attributable to Gian Giacomo Dolcebuono, assisted by Battaggio and Amadeo. Fifteen years later, Cristoforo Solari completed the building. The main patrons were the Bentivoglio family who, together with the Sforza family - with whom they was related by marriage - were linked to the Benedictine nuns Monastero Maggiore. Not by chance it was Alessandro Bentivoglio, his wife Ippolita Sforza and his daughter Alessandra, the future abbess, who allocated a substantial sum of money for the church embellishments. The church has an elongated rectangular nave that, still today, is divided by a partition into two sections. The front destined to the congregation, the back to the nuns' choir. In the second half of the sixteenth century, Carlo Borromeo decided to moderate the partition grille between the cloistered area and the congregation to further isolate the cloistered nuns. It can be said that the church has a dual identity. A plain and austere façade in gray Ornavasso stone contrasts with a sumptuous interior that houses cycles of paintings by some of the major sixteenth-century Lombard artists: Bernardino Luini and his sons, Paolo Lomazzo, Ottavio Semino, Callisto Piazza and Simone Peterzano.
Церковь Сан-Маурицио Аль Монастеро Маджоре была спроектирована как часть бенедиктинского монастыря, самой важной конгрегации в Милане. Строгий внешний вид церкви скрывает великолепный интерьер. Стены покрыты прекрасно сохранившимися фресками шестнадцатого века. Внутри вы откроете для себя один из самых тщательно хранимых секретов: храм разделен на две части центральной стеной. Жители Милана сидели у входа, а другая часть предназначалась для монахинь. В гостиной зоне монахинь находится впечатляющий орган, датируемый 1554 годом, который все еще работает, несмотря на свой возраст.
The Bai Harir ni Vav is located 15 km from the center of Ahmedabad city. This stepwell was built in 1499 under the supervision of Sultan Begada’s harem. It has steps down through five levels of carved stone columns leading to two small wells, which are now often dry. The depths are cool even on the hottest day, making it a fascinating and eerie place. Overflow channels at the top serve as a reminder of the times when water tables were much higher than today. Behind the stepwell, the 16th-century Dai Halima Mosque contains the mausoleum of a royal midwife, Halima, with elegant jali screens. This monument, off the beaten track, is one of the most soothing locations in the city. Persian and Sanskrit inscriptions on the walls tell the legends of the monument. According to the legend, 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.

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.
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.
All visitors of Burano remain intrigued by the many colours and the colorful houses that are reflected into the green waters of channels, by the leaning bell tower, by the tranquility and the calmness with which the elderly ladies embroider original Burano lace by their tombolo (or lace pillow), while they are laughing and chatting in squares among them. It seems to be in paradise.
Es una de las pistas de hielo al aire libre mas grandes y antiguas de Europa y se innauguró en 1870.
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.
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.

The Church of St. Blaise is a Baroque church in Dubrovnik and one of its major sights. Saint Blaise, identified by medieval Slavs with the pagan god Veles, is the patron saint of the city of Dubrovnik and formerly the protector of the independent Republic of Ragusa.
The Khan's Palace in Bakhchisaray was built in the 16th century and served as a residence for a succession of Crimean Khans. The Crimean Khanate was a Turkic vassal state of the Ottoman Empire from 1478 to 1774 -- the longest-lived of the Turkic khanates that succeeded the empire of the Golden Horde.

Строительство дворца началось при Менгли-Гирее I в 1503 г. параллельно с новой Ханской столицей, к этому периоду времени относится возведение Демир-Капы. Но основные работы по его созданию велись в период правления Сахиб-Гирея I: с 1532 по 1551 гг. было построено большинство прекрасных зданий.
Однако говорить, что возведение его закончили незадолго до смерти Сахиб-Гирея, было бы неправильно. Фактически каждый из ханов добавлял что-то свое – так и продолжалось до ликвидации Крымского ханства в 1785 г. Во время русско-турецкой войны 1735-1739 гг. в 1736 г. Бахчисарай был взят русскими войсками, а ханская резиденция сожжена по приказу фельдмаршала Миниха.

"The Murtoa No 1 Grain Store, also known as the Murtoa Stick Shed is the largest rustically-built structure in the world. It was a 'temporary' grain shed, 270m long and 60m wide, built in late 1941 and early 1942, using 560 unmilled mountain ash tree trunks. [Australian heritage site: Murtoa No 1 Grain Store]
Murtoa Stick Shed, formally known as the Number 1 Emergency Grain Store, is a large grain store (silo) in Murtoa, a town in the Wimmera region of Victoria, Australia. It is located adjacent to the railway line in western Victoria’s vast wheatbelt. 560 upright poles, some 80-foot-long, went into building the cathedral-like structure. The joints are held together with galvanised hoop iron, allowing it to move in the wind. Many more poles went into fabricating the roof trusses and bracing. The slender mountain ash poles were probably salvaged from native forests at Powelltown, Noojee, Erica and the Otways burnt during the 1939 bushfires. The Murtoa Stick Shed, as it became known, is 870 feet long, 198 feet wide and 62 feet 10 inches high at the ridge, covering an area of 170,000 square feet and with a capacity of 3.4 million bushels or 95,000 tonnes. Australia experienced a wheat glut in the late 1930s as traditional export markets of Great Britain and Western Europe evaporated due to a shift in world trade and restrictions to shipping. By the outbreak of the War in 1939, the Australian wheat industry produced between 150 and 160 million bushels per year, of which 100 million had been traditionally exported. But only 48 of the 160 silos planned under the 1935 Victorian Silo Scheme had been completed.
The Murtoa Stick Shed was hurriedly built over four months between September 1941 and January 1942 and filled with grain within six months of its construction. The wheat stayed in storage until 1944. It was the first emergency bulk wheat storage shed built in Victoria and is the only one remaining of its type in Australia. Wartime shortages meant the builders had to rely upon and adapt traditional bush construction techniques. It’s claimed to be the largest “rustically-built” structure in the world. The Forests Commission Victoria (FCV) produced over half a million lineal feet of poles from State forests mainly for emergency storage of wheat in 1941/42." (Wikipedia)

Nyhavn was constructed by King Christian V from 1670 to 1675, dug by Danish soldiers and Swedish prisoners of war from the Dano-Swedish War 1658–1660. It is a gateway from the sea to the old inner city at Kongens Nytorv (King's Square), where ships handled cargo and fishermens' catch. It was notorious for beer, sailors, and prostitution. Danish author Hans Christian Andersen lived at Nyhavn for 18 years.
Very typical of the small villages and towns in Mallorca are the narrow streets. Not enough that the houses are built close together, leaving little space for the alleys and streets between them. Mostly on one side of the street is parked one car after another. This makes maneuvering through the small towns not quite easy for the inexperienced, not to mention the orientation with the many one-way streets....but sometimes you are lucky and catch an alley completely without cars and people.
