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.

The Stauropegic Resurrection New Jerusalem Monastery is one of the most famous monasteries in the Moscow Region. It is a unique and sacred place, marvellous in its design, having been crafted by architects from several epochs. It reproduces the layout of key religious sites in Ierusalem – the Resurrection Cathedral is the counterpart of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre with its side chapels and the underground Sts Constantine and Helena Church is the counterpart of the cavernous Palestinian church. The natural landscape around the monastery bears Biblical names: Mounts (or, rather, hills) Tabor, Hermon, Sinai, Mount of Olives, the Jordan river (Istra), and the Garden of Gethsemane.
Известен и под другим названием – Воскресенский Новоиерусалимский монастырь. Мужская православная обитель была основана в 1656 г. рядом с городом Истра в Подмосковье. Своим появлением она обязана патриарху Никону, пожелавшему разбить в этом месте резиденцию патриархов. Сам Никон многократно останавливался здесь на ночлег, ведь ему часто приходилось посещать Иверский монастырь (ездил он по старой Волоколамской дороге). Строительством нового монастыря патриарх желал добиться обустройства центра православного мира на московской земле. При этом планировалось, что грандиозное сооружение станет топографически передавать храм Гроба Господня, расположенный в Иерусалиме. Закладка монастыря производилась на холме с палестинским названием Сион. С восточной стороны к обители прилегал Елеонский холм, ее северным «соседом» был холм Фавор, а местная река Истра получила новое название – Иордан.
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.

La Puerta de Castilla, fue el principal acceso en tiempos medievales que conectaba el corazón de San Esteban con el puente sobre el río Duero.
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.

Dubai is mostly known for its sumptuous hotels, long sandy beaches and opulent lifestyle. In fact satirist John Stewart recently described Dubai as: "What would happen if Saudi Arabia and Las Vegas had a baby." But this city has a different side, represented by the historic Bastakia Quarter, the ancient home of wealthy Persian merchants. Now this part of town is a conservation area and the unique Arabian architecture will please any tourists tired of the glitzy glamour of the rest of the city. The wind-tower houses are centuries old and are the first form of air conditioning, designed to make the most of Dubai's breezes in the often-stifling heat. Since the days when it was a small fishing and trade village, Dubai has come a long way.
I wanted to capture this view during "pure" blue hour, however although I live in Middle East for few years now, I forgot that I cannot move around too much as blue hour is actually max 15 min, so when I got to this spot, the sky was already nearly black. Well, hopefully there is next time for this place and me.

There was a church here already in very ancient times; on the left side there were also a little church dedicated to St. Paul and a small temple dedicated to St. Mary, which was decked with Giotto's school frescoes. During XV century they tore it down and built the present Chapel of Crowned Blessed Virgin Mary, between St. Paul and St. Peter churches. Today the building has a Gothic right side and a neoclassical façade by Nicolò Baschiera (1755), while the interior was designed by Giulio Romano and is decked with sculptures and paintings by Andreasino, Teodoro Ghisi, Gerolamo Mazzola Bedoli, Domenico Fetti, Giambettino Cignaroli, Domenico Brusasorci, Giuseppe Bazzani and Felice Campi.
