Ragusa (Italian: [raˈɡuːza] Sicilian: Rausa; Latin: Ragusia) is a city and comune in southern Italy.
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.

This Hungarian stilt village is built in a lake that never freezes over due to the power plant that 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.
It was January, it had rained, it was quite chilly and the St. Mark's Square in Venice was almost deserted. This historic square is usually imagined differently. But we practically had it all to ourselves. It was a great atmosphere to be able to enjoy it in a way that the hordes of tourists can hardly ever do in summer.

Le Projet de Boules Roses, also comically known as "Pink Balls", is an annual installation that takes place during the Montreal summer. Thousands of five toned pink balls are stretched on Saint Catherine's Street for over a kilometre, giving the city an ethereal, festival vibe.
The Monastery of the Dormition is one of the oldest in Crimea and is situated in the most beautiful corner of the peninsula - in the heart of the Mariam-Dere gorge framed with cliffs that rise high into the sky.
The exact date of the cloister's appearance in these lands is unknown. Historians incline to the version, according to which, the monastery was founded in the late 8th - early 9th century by Greek monks, who fled to Crimea from Byzantine.
By the early 15th century the cloister numbered several tens of caves already, and a tiny chapel, two houses for pilgrims and several fountains with - as monks believed - healing water were built near the caves.

Свято-Успенский мужской монастырь возведён в долине Мариам-Дере (долина Девы Марии). Время, когда он был заложен, доподлинно неизвестно, историки называют рубеж VIII-IX вв., но существует немало других версий. Общепринятой считается, что его основали в самом конце VIII века византийские монахи, почитатели икон, как и многие их собратья, бежавшие из Византии, когда там после Иконорборческого собора (754 год) началось жестокое уничтожение икон, фресок и мозаик. Монахов преследовали, считая их идолопоклонниками. Здесь, в покрытых лесом тихих горных долинах, они нашли убежище и место для уединённых молитв.
Период наибольшего развития начался для него с середины XIX века, когда тут воздвигли пять храмов, братские корпуса, несколько домов для паломников, а вокруг посадили чудесный сад. Существенную роль в г. Бахчисарай Успенский пещерный монастырь сыграл в годы Крымской войны, когда превратился, по сути, в госпиталь для русских солдат и матросов, защищавших Севастополь.
Во время Великой Отечественной войны, как и в годы Крымской, в ее стенах поместили госпиталь, а после окончания боевых действий, обустроили психоневрологический диспансер. Восстановили монастырь в 1993 г., когда были отремонтированы и отреставрированы почти все здания и храмы. Сегодня он является одним из крупнейших на полуострове.

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.
