"Buscando las aventuras por entre las duras peñas, maldiciendo entrañas duras, que entre riscos y entre breñas halla el triste desventuras; hirióle amor con su azote y no con su blanda correa, y en tocándole el cogote aquí lloró don Quijote ausencias de Dulcinea del Toboso."
Don Quijote de La Mancha. Capítulo XXVI.

The Palace of the Winds is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of Rajput architecture in India. It is adorned with 953 windows. These were designed to enable the ladies of the royal court to watch street theatre unobserved, hidden behind the delicate latticework. Also known as the Hawa Mahal, the palace was built in 1799 for Maharaja Sawai Pratap Singh as part of the women's quarters of the expansive City Palace complex in the heart of Jaipur. The street-facing façade is essentially an enormous screened porch, only one room deep in most places. In 1876, Jaipur was preparing for the visit of the Prince of Wales. To welcome him with warmth and grandeur, Maharaja Sawai Ram Singh II ordered the entire city to be painted terracotta pink — a colour symbolizing hospitality and friendliness in Rajput culture — earning Jaipur its nickname of 'The Pink City'.

In 1892, the Imperator Alexander the Third invited the main wine-maker of Crimean and Caucasian feudal lands Count Lev Golitsyn, who had already been known as the founder of wine-making enterprises in the New World, to Massandra. It was he who ordered to build the first underground winery with tunnels in Russia in order to produce and ripen table and dessert wines. Its construction lasted four years.
Constructed from the light-grey Crimean stone, the Massandra winery’s building is reminiscent of a medieval castle with tower and forged iron gates. The wine cellars are cut underneath it: the fan of seven 150 meter-long tunnels goes deep into the rock and forms galleries with stone niches for many-year-old vintage wines. This natural storehouse has unique microclimate with stable temperature of +12 degrees Celsius all the year round. This temperature is considered to be ideal for high quality dessert and fortified wines’ storage.
Today, the Massandra winery has one of the largest wine collections in the world that numbers over a million vintage wine bottles, including 10 to 200 and more year-old wines. There are several truly unique items: for instance, Sherry de la Frontera, produced in 1775 and considered to be the oldest wine in the world. Massandra winery has its own museum stock that includes up to three bottles of each wine from winery’s collection.
Массандровский завод - первый в России винный завод тоннельного типа. Строительство начали в 1894 году и уже в 1898 году было произведено первое вино, которое и послужило началом коллекции Массандровского завода.
На сегодняшний день Массандровский завод является обладателем самой большой в мире коллекции вин, около 1- миллиона бутылок, этот факт внесен в книгу рекордов Гиннеса. В коллекцию вошли вина Франции, Италии, Португалии, Германии и, конечно же, собственного производства.
Помимо производства вина завод славится своей архитектурой. Основное и первое здание завода было построено в 1897 году, по утвержденному проекту князем Голицыным, в стиле средневекового замка. Архитектура полностью пронизана строгой готикой и военным минимализмом. Чуть позже в проект внеслись декоративные элементы. Замок выстроен из массивных каменных блоков, поэтому стены получились от 0,45-1 метра в толщину, узкие окошки, которые выполненные в виде бойниц.По центру арочный массивный вход с кованными воротами. Под замком в два этажа расположились винные подвалы, оборудованные под содержание и хранение вина.
A view of Neuschwanstein Castle with storm clouds behind, you can understand how this palace famously inspired Disney's Sleeping Beauty castle. Neuschwanstein Castle or Schloss Neuschwanstein is a nineteenth-century Romanesque Revival palace on a rugged hill above the village of Hohenschwangau near Füssen in southwest Bavaria, Germany. Translated into English, New Swanstone Castle was built between 1869 and 1886, the castle was intended as a home for king Ludwig II of Bavaria until his death in 1886. The palace was commissioned by the king a as a retreat and as a homage to Richard Wagner. The King didn't use the Bavarian public funds for this extravagance, instead Ludwig funded the building of the palace from his personal fortune and some extensive borrowing.

This is the one time residence of a relatively successful farmer. Built of local limestone, this substantial two story survives after decades of abandonment. Typical settlers were eastern European Catholic families that broke the sod and attempted to till the soil in a climate with too little precipitation for the acreage the government supplied via the Homestead Act. Eventually the rural population shrunk to a small portion of the original, leaving abandoned farmsteads. In this case the only surviving built structure is the home built of stone. Remember the story of the tree pigs and the one built of "brick".
Located near Luray, Kansas.
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.
