As I strolled along the limestone path that has been bathed by sun and rain for 1,000 years, I felt I entered a world like fantasy that came to life, that took me back in time a thousand years.

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.
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.

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.
Ragusa (Italian: [raˈɡuːza] Sicilian: Rausa; Latin: Ragusia) is a city and comune in southern Italy.
One of the most fascinating examples of monumental architecture in Italy, the Palazzo Te building was conceived by Giulio Romano between 1524 and 1530 as a pleasure palace for Federico II Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua. The name Palazzo Te doesn’t mean, as many believe, “Tea palace”. The building rather takes its name from that of the site on which it is located on the outskirts of Mantua, once called “Tejeto” (linden grove) or simply “Te”.
Палаццо Те - это загородная (в XVI веке, сейчас же город подступил к парку) резиденция маркиза Федерико II Гонзага, сына прославленной Изабеллы д'Эсте, для возлюбленной Изабеллы Боскетти. Строительство дворца относится к 1524-1525 годам, до 1534 года продолжалось его украшение.

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.

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.
Brutalist concrete building with sharp geometric forms reflected in a still pool, captured in high-contrast black-and-white to emphasize texture, symmetry, light and shadow for a minimalist, dramatic urban composition.
