The Pozzo di San Patrizio (English: "St. Patrick's Well") is a historic well in Orvieto, Umbria, central Italy. It was built by architect-engineer Antonio da Sangallo the Younger of Florence, between 1527 and 1537, at the behest of Pope Clement VII who had taken refuge at Orvieto during thesack of Rome in 1527 by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, and feared that the city's water supply would be insufficient in the event of a siege. The well was completed in 1537 during the papacy of Pope Paul III.
The architect-engineer Antonio da Sangallo the Younger surrounded the central well shaft with two spiral ramps in a double helix, accessed by two doors, which allowed mules to carry empty and full water vessels separately in downward and upward directions without obstruction. The cylindrical well is 53.15 metres (174.4 ft) deep with a base diameter of 13 metres (43 ft). There are 248 steps and 70 windows provide illumination.
(Il pozzo di San Patrizio venne realizzato nel XVI secolo per garantire acqua alla città di Orvieto in ogni momento dell'anno, in caso di calamità oppure per un prolungato stato di assedio.
A sezione circolare è profondo sessantadue metri e largo tredici. Intorno alla canna del pozzo girano a spirale due scale a chiocciola progettate in maniera tale da correre sovrapposte l'una all'altra senza però comunicare tra loro: ciò serviva a far si che le persone con i muli che si recavano nel fondo del pozzo ad attingere acqua non intralciassero il cammino di chi, dopo essersi procurato l'acqua, stava risalendo in superficie.
Ogni scala ha 248 scalini comodissimi, facili da scendere anche per le bestie da soma. Le scale prendono luce da 72 finestre centinate aperte nella canna. La luce viene diminuendo a mano a mano che si discende, fino a diventare penombra. In fondo alla canna un piccolo ponte collega le due scale.
Il pozzo di San Patrizio fu fatto scavare da papa Clemente VII che si era rifugiato ad Orvieto durante il sacco di Roma nel 1527.)
St. Bernard de Clairvaux Church is a medieval Spanish monastery cloister which was built in the town of Sacramenia in Segovia, Spain, in the 12th century but dismantled in the 20th century and shipped to New York City in the United States. It was eventually reassembled at 16711 West Dixie Highway, North Miami Beach, Florida, where it is now an Episcopal church and tourist attraction called Ancient Spanish Monastery. It is the oldest European-built structure in the Western Hemisphere.

The Janike-khanym mausoleum is an almost completely preserved mausoleum of the 15th century. - a fine example of "Seljuk" architecture. It is a monumental octagonal structure under a tiled roof, decorated with carved columns along the edges of the edges. It is adjoined by a carved portal with a massive arch, and an Arabic calligraphic inscription is carved at the entrance: these are hadith texts, in which, among other things, there are the words "This world is a dwelling of vanity, but the future life is eternal." In the depths of the mausoleum, on a stepped elevation, one can see a tombstone decorated with an elegant, like ornament, Arabic inscription: "This is the tomb of the great empress Janike-khanym, daughter of Tokhtamysh-khan, who died in the month of Ramadan in 841 (1437)."

Мавзолей Джанике-ханым — почти полностью сохранившийся мавзолей XV в. — прекрасный образец «сельджукской» архитектуры. Это монументальное восьмигранное сооружение под черепичной крышей, украшенное по ребрам граней резными колонками. К нему примыкает покрытый резьбой портал с массивной аркой, а у входа высечена арабская каллиграфическая надпись: это тексты хадисов, в которых, среди прочего, встречаются слова «Этот мир есть жилище суеты, будущая же жизнь вечна». В глубине мавзолея на ступенчатом возвышении видно надгробие, украшенное изящной, словно орнамент, арабской надписью: «Это гробница великой государыни Джанике-ханым, дочери Тохтамыш-хана, скончавшейся месяца рамазана 841 года (1437)».

Le quartier Masséna forms part of the Italie XIII housing district in the 13 arrondissements of Paris, just to the south of Olympiades. However, unlike Olypmiades, the towers are situated on street level, giving greater integration into the urban fabric. They bear the names of Italian composers or cities such as Puccini, Palermo, Rimini.

The Palazzo Galloni is a vast and complex building. It was the residence of a wealthy bourgeois family of the 17th century. The main building, set aside from the embankment, is preceded by a low building, previously used as a warehouse for activities related to navigation in Naviglio. This is a simple tiled roof, supported by five large arches, of which one in the center leads to the courtyard. The other four large gates through which the carts of vegetables passed were walled up today and fragmented by small doors, balconies and windows.
Палаццо Галлони - это обширное и сложное здание. Это была резиденция богатой буржуазной семьи 17-го века. Основному корпусу, отведенному от , набережной предшествует невысокое здание, ранее использовавшееся в качестве склада для деятельности, связанной с навигацией в Naviglio. Это простая черепичная крыша, опирающаяся на пять больших арок, из которых одна в центре ведет во двор. Остальные четыре большие ворота, через которые проезжали повозки с овощами, сегодня замурованы стенами и фрагментированы маленькими дверями, балконами и окнами.

Built in the neo-baroque style of architecture, the Old Parliament Building is one of the major attractions of Colombo. The beautiful architecture and the history associated with the building is fascinating, to say the least. The building was opened on January 29, 1930 by Governor Sir Herbert Stanley. When the State Council of Ceylon was established a year later, the old building was used as the office space for the council. The building was designated as the Parliament of Sri Lanka in 1977. In 1983, the Sri Lankan parliament moved out to the new complex in Sri Jayawardenapura Kotte. Since then, the Old Parliament Building has functioned as the home to the Presidential Secretariat. You will find that the front garden of the building complex is host to several bronze statues of eminent statesmen including that of Rt Hon D. S. Senanayake, Hon Dudley Senanayake and General Sir John Kotalawela.
Здание старого парламента, построенное в стиле нео-барокко, является одной из главных достопримечательностей Коломбо. Красивая архитектура и история, связанные со зданием, по меньшей мере, завораживают. Здание было открыто 29 января 1930 года губернатором сэром Гербертом Стэнли. Когда через год был создан Государственный совет Цейлона, старое здание использовалось в качестве служебного помещения для совета. Здание было назначено в качестве парламента Шри-Ланки в 1977 году. В 1983 году парламент Шри-Ланки переехал в новый комплекс в Шри-Джаяварденапура-Котте. С тех пор старое здание парламента служило домом для секретариата президента. Вы обнаружите, что в палисаднике комплекса зданий находятся несколько бронзовых статуй выдающихся государственных деятелей, в том числе достопочтенного д-ра С. Сенанаяке, достопочтенного Дадли Сенанаяке и генерала сэра Джона Коталавела.
