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.

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.

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.

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.
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 photo features a striking nighttime panorama of Shanghai's Lujiazui area, highlighting the city's architectural prowess with towering skyscrapers adorned in colorful lights. Prominent structures such as the Oriental Pearl Tower and the Jin Mao Tower stand out against the dark sky, while the red Monument to the People's Heroes adds a splash of color to the urban landscape. The steel truss of Waibaidu bridge in the foreground provides a sense of scale and depth, leading the viewer's eye across the water towards the cityscape. The overall mood is one of awe-inspiring modernity and cultural significance, encapsulating the dynamic energy of China's financial hub.

The main facade of the palace
The white-stone Livadia Palace, which served as a summer residence for Russian emperors in the 19th - 20th centuries, is not just the most beautiful architectural installation of Crimea’s southern coast, but also an important historical monument. Here, Allied leaders defined the fate of the post-WWII world.
The history of the palace began in 1834, when Polish magnate Lev Potockiy bought the tiny Livadia village near Yalta and built his mansion here. Thirty years later, emperor Alexander II bought the mansion and made it his summer residence. On the tsar’s orders, the house was rebuilt and turned into a real imperial palace.
By the beginning of the 20th century, the palace became decrepit and emperor Nicholas II, the palace’s master at the time, ordered it to be destroyed and a new palace to be built. Yalta’s architect Nikolay Krasnov was given the project, and he created a real architectural masterpiece, which blended harmoniously with the picturesque landscape.
Livadia Palace was built in Italian Neo-Renaissance style; however, Byzantine, Eastern and Gothic motifs were also added to it.
Александр II подыскивал место, которое можно было бы превратить в нечто вроде санатория для его больной туберкулезом жены. В 1861 году владение Потоцкого было выкуплено казной. И.А. Монигетти, а затем А.Г. Венсан перестроили дом Потоцкого, построили отдельный дворец для наследника престола и прочих царских родственников, Свитский дом, Крестовоздвиженскую церковь и еще ряд зданий.
В виде, обретенном при батюшке, имение очень нравилось императору Александру III, который и умер здесь в 1894 г. Впрочем, этот царь предпочитал жить во дворце наследника, а главное здание использовал для официальных целей.
В 1910 году старый Большой дворец был снесен. По проекту Н.П. Краснова за 17 месяцев на его месте появилось новое здание, прозванное из-за цвета камня Белым дворцом.
В 1925 г. бывшая царская резиденция была превращена в санаторий для больных туберкулезом, преимущественно крестьян. Пациенты тут не только лечились, но и учились – работали курсы ликвидации безграмотности, читались лекции по истории, экономике, политике, а также агрономии и другим сельскохозяйственным дисциплинам.
Гитлеровцы во время оккупации ограбили комплекс нещадно – были вывезены как исторические ценности, так и лечебное оборудование санатория. При отступлении оккупанты подорвали дворец наследника.
Однако советское руководство обеспечило настолько быстрое восстановление, что в феврале 1945 г. Ливадия стала основной площадкой для проведения Ялтинской конференции лидеров стран антифашистской коалиции. И.В. Сталин разместил высоких гостей в лучших крымских дворцах.
