Directly overlooking Piazza Cordusio, Palazzo Broggi is currently used as both offices and retail facilities. It is constructed out of three interconnected buildings dating back to different periods. The main building, called Palazzo del Credito Italiano and designed by the architects Luigi Broggi and Cesare Nava, is connected to the Magazzini Contratti building, designed again by Luigi Broggi. The block is thus completed by the building along via Santa Margherita, designed by the architect Giovanni Muzio and completed in 1960. Piuarch’s project to redevelop this large complex is based on a study of the theme of lightness: lightness as a design approach in contrast to the monumentality of the old buildings; lightness as a way of opening up to the cityscape; lightness as a means of integrating into the greenery of the hanging gardens placed inside a very densely built-up block. Enhanced by rooftop terraces and green courtyards, the renovation project will finally host different functions in approximately 48,000 sqm.
Palazzo Broggi с видом на Piazza Cordusio в настоящее время используется в качестве офисов и торговых объектов. Он построен из трех взаимосвязанных зданий, относящихся к разным периодам. Главное здание, которое называется Palazzo del Credito Italiano и спроектировано архитекторами Луиджи Броджи и Чезаре Нава, соединено со зданием Magazzini Contratti, спроектированным так же Луиджи Броджи.
The Bayon Temple was built in the late 12 th or early 13 th century A.D. by Jayavarman VII, one of the Khmer Empire’s greatest kings. The Bayon Temple served as the state temple of Jayavarman’s new capital, Angkor Thom. Given the centrality of Buddhism in the Khmer Empire, the Bayon Temple stood at the center of Angkor Thom. Unlike the other temples built by the Khmer, Bayon Temple is unique in that it was the only state temple built primarily as a Mahayana Buddhist shrine dedicated to the Buddha. After the death of Jayavarman, the features of the Bayon Temple were altered according to the religious belief of his successors, thus containing Hindu and Theravada Buddhist elements that were not part of the temple’s original plans. Байон - известный своей архитектурой кхмерский храм в Ангкоре. Построенный в конце 12-ого столетия или в начале 13-ого столетия как официальный государственный храм Короля Джаявармана VII - буддиста направления Махаяны, Байон стоит в центре столицы Джаявармана - Ангкора Тхом. После смерти Джаявармана, он был изменен и увеличен более поздними индуистскими и буддистскими королями, проповедовавших Тхераваду в соответствии с их собственными религиозными предпочтениями.
Наиболее отличительная особенность Байона - это множество безмятежных и массивных каменных лиц на многих башнях, которые выступают из верхней террасы и группы вокруг ее центральной башни. Храм известен также двумя внушительными ансамблями барельефов, которые представляют необычную комбинацию мифологических, исторических и бытовых сцен.

The structure is surrounded by a crowd of people, some of whom are taking photos or admiring the architecture. The scene is further enhanced by the warm glow of the lights, creating a lively and festive atmosphere. The surrounding trees and additional lighting add depth and context to the composition, emphasizing the cultural significance of the location.
Interior view of the pigeon tower (dovecote) in Meybod city, Yazd province of Iran.
Constructed during the Qajar era, it provided nesting space for up to 4000 pigeons, for the collection of the birds' droppings, which are a very rich and effective fertilizer for growing plants and crops. The Tower is cylindrical with ridged stucco and brick placements decorating the walls not only adding to the beauty of the Tower, but also preventing snakes from sliding up the surface and gaining entry. The thick adobe crust consists of six interior chambers with a tiny entrance on the west side and two flights of stairs.

The Colombo Lighthouse was initially constructed as a clock tower in 1856 and completed on the 25th of February 1857 and the tower was designed by the wife of Governor Sir Henry George Ward. The construction work was undertaken by the Public Works Department. It was supervised by the Director of Public Works himself; Mr John Flemming Churchill.
The proposition to build a lighthouse for the Colombo harbor was put forward in 1815. The original time-piece was commissioned for a value of ₤1,200 in 1814 by the Governor at that time Sir Robert Browning. But the unit was stored in a warehouse without being installed due to economic hardships until it was finally put in place in 1857 after the work on the lighthouse ended in 1856. The first light was powered by Kerosene oil and is claimed to have cleared an area of 17 miles out to sea in clear weather. According to the plaque on the side of the tower it displayed its beam seaward every 5 seconds. Atop the semi globe roof is a metallic arrow that is used to show the direction the wind is blowing.
The original Colombo Lighthouse and Clock Tower in Sri Lanka was of a “Neo – Classical” structure. The clock mechanism in the Colombo Lighthouse and Clock Tower in Sri Lanka takes much significance due to its origin. It was constructed by renowned British watchmakers “Dent”. Dent is also behind the manufacturing of the world famous “Big Ben” in Westminster Palace, London. The main bell in the time-piece weighed approx. 250kg or 550 pounds and the 2 auxiliary supporting bells weighed about 150kg or 335 pounds each. The navigational light, the most prominent part of the lighthouse was positioned in 1867. The operation of the Diroptic-Light was constructed by the “Chance Brothers”. The light is claimed to have been visible to an eye located 60m above sea level up to a distance of 27km in clear weather. The light would have a triple flash being each of 1 second duration which could be seen by sailors far and wide. Initially the light was powered by kerosene, a very popular and efficient means of portable energy generation at the time.
As time progressed in 1907 the kerosene was replaced with Gas, which was deemed far more practical and safe since kerosene was difficult to replace and was difficult to carry up the tower. Finally in 1933 the light was powered by electricity, which was readily available and very efficient though primitive at the time. In 1913 the clock unit was replaced with the clock that exists today. It has a six foot glazed opal glass for illumination and after its installation the Colombo Lighthouse and Clock Tower in Sri Lanka was inaugurated in 1914.
Маяк Коломбо был первоначально построен как башня с часами в 1856 году и завершен 25 февраля 1857 года. Башня была спроектирована женой губернатора сэра Генри Джорджа Уорда. Строительные работы были проведены Департаментом общественных работ. Его курировал сам директор общественных работ; Мистер Джон Флемминг Черчилль.
Предложение построить маяк для гавани Коломбо было выдвинуто в 1815 году. Первоначальные часы были заказаны губернатором в то время сэром Робертом Браунингом на сумму 1200 фунтов стерлингов в 1814 году. Но это устройство хранилось на складе без установки из-за экономических трудностей, пока оно не было окончательно введено в действие в 1857 году, после того как работы над маяком закончились в 1856 году. Первый фонарь работал на керосиновом масле, и, как утверждается, в ясную погоду он очистил область от моря на 17 миль.
Согласно табличке на стене башни, каждые 5 секунд она показывала свой луч в сторону моря. На крыше полусферы находится металлическая стрелка, которая показывает направление ветра. Оригинальный Коломбо Маяк и Башня с часами в Шри-Ланке имели «неоклассическую» структуру. Механизм часов в Маяке Коломбо и Башне с часами в Шри-Ланке имеет большое значение из-за его происхождения. Он был построен известными британскими часовщиками «Дент». Дент также стоит за производством всемирно известного «Биг Бен» в Вестминстерском дворце в Лондоне. Главный колокол в часах весил ок. 250 кг или 550 фунтов и 2 вспомогательных колокола весили около 150 кг или 335 фунтов каждый. Навигационный фонарь, самая заметная часть маяка, был установлен в 1867 году. Операция «Дироптический свет» была построена «Братьями по случайности». Утверждается, что свет был виден глазу, расположенному на высоте 60 м над уровнем моря на расстоянии 27 км в ясную погоду. У света была тройная вспышка длительностью 1 секунда, которую моряки видят повсюду. Первоначально свет был приведен в действие керосином, очень популярным и эффективным в то время средством портативного производства энергии. С течением времени в 1907 году керосин был заменен на газ, который считался гораздо более практичным и безопасным, поскольку керосин было трудно заменить и было трудно переносить башню. Наконец, в 1933 году свет был приведен в действие электричеством, которое было легко доступно и очень эффективно, хотя в то время и примитивно. В 1913 году часы были заменены на часы, которые существуют сегодня. Он имеет шесть футов застекленного опалового стекла для освещения и после его установки в 1914 году был открыт маяк Коломбо и Часовая башня на Шри-Ланке. Одной важной особенностью Старого маяка является то, что он является единственным в мире маяком с часами.
According to tradition, the church was dedicated to St. Mark, patron of Venice, after the help given by that city in the war against Frederick Barbarossa in the 12th century. However, the first mention of the church dates from 1254 when the Augustinians built a Gothic style edifice with a nave and two aisles re-using pre-existing constructions. The structure was heavily modified in the Baroque style during the 17th century, when it became the largest church in the city after the Duomo di Milano. In early 1770, the young Mozart resided in the monastery of San Marco for three months and, on May 22, 1874, the first anniversary of the death of the Milanese poet and novelist Alessandro Manzoni was commemorated in the church by the first performance of Verdi's Requiem, written in his honour.
Церковь Сан-Марко построена в 13-м веке. По преданию, миланцы воздвигли храм в честь покровителя Венеции в благодарность за поддержку республики Святого Марка в борьбе с Фридрихом Барбароссой. Фасад этой церкви отреставрирован в конце 19-го века, но портал, статуи святых и готическая роза остались в первоначальном виде. В центре готической «розы» на фасаде Сан-Марко красуется шестиконечная звезда Давида, она же Печать Соломона. Органистом в храме святого Марка в конце 18-го века был известный композитор Саммартини.

Chersonesos, on the Crimean Peninsula on the Black Sea, was founded by Greek settlers in the fifth century B.C. and was occupied during the Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine eras. It is a uniquely preserved example of an ancient landscape with over 140 stone farmhouses, a grid of country roads, and a network of forts from the Roman and Byzantine periods. In 1400, the city was destroyed by Mongols and not reoccupied. Structures that have survived are often subject to the elements and to crowds of unsupervised visitors. Erosion of the coastline of the Black Sea has undermined major architectural monuments, including the Uvarov Basilica where Christianity was first introduced to the Slavic world. The rapid expansion of Sevastopol, located on a nearby bay, has also threatened the historic landscape of the territory.
Херсонес, расположенный на Крымском полуострове на берегу Черного моря, был основан греческими поселенцами в пятом веке до нашей эры и был заселен в эллинистическую, римскую и византийскую эпохи. Это уникально сохранившийся образец древнего ландшафта с более чем 140 каменными фермерскими домами, сетью проселочных дорог и сетью фортов римского и византийского периодов. В 1400 году город был разрушен монголами и не был вновь оккупирован. Сохранившиеся сооружения часто подвергаются воздействию стихии и толпам неконтролируемых посетителей. Эрозия береговой линии Черного моря подорвала основные архитектурные памятники, в том числе базилику Уварова, где христианство впервые было представлено славянскому миру. Быстрое расширение Севастополя, расположенного в соседней бухте, также поставило под угрозу исторический ландшафт территории.

The oldest part of the complex is represented by the Shrine of San Vittore in Golden Sky , built in the fourth century by Bishop Maternus to preserve the remains of St. Victor and important example of early Christian architecture. Adjacent to it, heading north, the bishop of Milan Ambrose built, between 379 and 386, the Martyrum Basilica, the first version of the early Christian basilica, whose name came from the fact that it was built in an area where martyrs of the Roman persecutions had been buried. The name was changed to the present one later when Ambrose was buried inside it. The current version of the Romanesque basilica with three naves with vaulted ribbed cruise, is characterized by an alternating system of major and minor pillars that allow the transition from four spans in the main nave to eight in the lateral naves. However, there is no agreement on the exact dating of almost all structural parts of the basilica, in the light of the many changes that have taken place over the centuries. The absidiale part is in any case the oldest part, assigned to the centuries VIII, IX or X depending on the author. The church was heavily damaged during the bombings of the Second World War, which destroyed in 1943 especially the outside of the porch, damaged the dome of the basilica and other areas of the basilica complex, and caused the loss of significant art works, including a fresco by Tiepolo that decorated the ceiling of the sacristy. Immediately after the war the restoration works took start. They were completed in the fifties, bringing the church to its former glory.
Дата строительства базилики Св. Амвросия теряется в далеком 4 веке н. э., времени бескомпромиссной борьбы никейского и арианского исповеданий христианства. Ее основатель — один из четырех отцов церкви Амвросий Медиоланский, равно почитаемый католиками и православными. Поводом послужило обретение им поблизости утерянных столетием ранее останков Гервасия и Протасия, замученных во времена Нерона. Отсюда и второе название храма — базилика Мучеников. Сам святитель тоже нашел последний приют в саркофаге между раками найденных им мощей.
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.

Actually Slave Island is not an island; it’s situated just south of the city centre. Slaves were kept here until the 19th century, therefore it was generally known as the Slave Island. The official designation of the Church is Holy Rosary but it is popularly known as the “Infant Jesus Church”. The statue of “El Nino“, which is said to possess miraculous powers, therefore, it is a very popular devotion site. The church is y small, but quite beautiful. It has the typical feature of many Sri Lankan churches; broad open-air ‘aisles’ along the outside of the church, where additional crowds can sit, away from the heat and stuffiness inside the church, yet protected from sun and rain. The statue of “The Infant Jesus” is on the front left hand side of the Church, but a large similar model is placed over the top of the canopy at the entrance of the Church. On Jan 2, 2008, four people sere killed in a terror attack in front of the Church.
Holy Rosary (Infant Jesus) Shrine. Храм Младенца Иисуса - римская католическая церковь. Находится на Слейв Айленде, на пересечении улиц Rifle Street и Kumaran Ratnam Mawatha. Слева у церкви - статуя младенца Иисуса, которая, как считается, обладает волшебными свойствами. Еще в этой церкви часто проводятся свадебные церемонии, и это неудивительно: сам храм очень красивый, да и фотографироваться около него легко и приятно - вокруг нет никаких строений. В 2008 году рядом с храмом произошел взрыв, унесший жизни четырех человек и повредивший храм и отель, который расположен рядом.
It is also known as " House for Leninym" , " House to Krasnoy" , "Shtany" Soviet street, house of 21/2 of building - 1934-1936 architects: Parusnikov M. P., Sobolyev I.N.
Жилой дом на Красной площади («Дом с аркой») был спроектирован в 1934 году и построен в 1935—1936 годах по проекту московских архитекторов М. П. Парусникова и И. Н. Соболева. Данное строение служит примером нового советского архитектурного стиля. В тот период на базе лучших образцов классицизма и ренессанса создавалась архитектура, созвучная эпохе социализма. Такой внушительный размер арочного проема и строгая симметрия всех элементов главного фасада здания, на одной из центральных площадей города, создают образ классической «триумфальной арки».

Szék (Sic) is a sleepy village not far from Kolozsvár (Cluj) in Transylvania (Romania).
The Szék community managed to preserve its unique folk traditions, distinctive styles of music, dance, embroidery, and costume through the centuries. Many of the older villagers still wear their traditional costume as they go about their everyday life.
The brutalist architecture of the district failed to impress the greater public, and the wealthy urban Parisiens it has hoped to attract never materialised. Then-president Valéry Giscard d'Estaing shelved the Italie XIII project in 1974.
Lying in an inaccessible gravel pit are three well preserved examples of obsolete technology from the 1920s. They are acoustic mirrors designed to pick up the sound of approaching aircraft before they were visible. They were never taken into use because of the development of radar prior to World War 2.

This architectural gem is one of the first modern buildings in the city of Milan, and with its 100m height, we're witnessing a modern architectural masterpiece, erected in 1958. Starting from the top, the upper third of the building, which protrudes outside the lower levels, was designed to associate to medieval watchtowers. Such defense towers were used in times of war to protect the Italian castles from attacks. Having in mind the ideas of the ancient architecture during the design process, the authors were able to connect the modern building to its historic past and keep the design of the new addition from falling out of context. The tower’s stone material and its supporting beams, add stability to the projecting section and they look like they are directly inspired by Italy’s medieval defense towers. Gothic characteristics in the surroundings are also recognizable. One of the characteristics of this modern building is that the schemes of windows, doors, and material are repeated rhythmically. Patterns are being created using empty walls, open windows, and reflective glass surfaces, where you normally have glass windows; this is the main trait of Torre Velasca. Authors of this modern piece are BBPR (Banfi, Belgiojoso, Peressutti, Rogers), an Italian architectural partnership. Torre Velasca is a reaction against the trend of the International Style, complete with its abstract medieval references.
Символ итальянской послевоенной архитектуры, Башня Веласка является одним из доминирующих символов линии горизонта города. Ее монументальный профиль с выступающей передней частью узнаваем из любой точки города. Здание, построенное по проекту группы итальянских архитекторов, известных под аббревиатурой BBPR, между 1951 и 1958 годами, освободилось от канонического образа модернистского небоскреба, его форма больше напоминает скорее очертания средневековой башни. По вертикали здание достигает 106 м, и по всей ее длине проходит структурная сетка, спроектированная Артуро Дануссо: внешние прожилки разветвляются на углах, поддерживая верхнюю экспрессивную железобетонную структуру. В верхней части расположены квартиры, а в колонне расположены офисы и кабинеты. Название башни связано с испанским правителем Хуаном де Веласко, чье имя носил квартал, в котором была построена башня.
In the mid-90s of the 19th century, the Baryatinsky family bought a small plot next to Pochtovaya Street (now Sverdlova) in the upper part of Count Mordvinov Park. And, after some time, work begins on the construction of the estate on its territory, to which the architect Oscar Emilevich Wegener was involved.
As a result, a house with 17 rooms in neo—Romanesque style with an arched entrance was built on the site (locals call it "the house with an arch"), for which 2 gray granite steamers were specially brought from Finland. The architecture actively used elements of Art Nouveau characteristic of Yalta at that time, as well as balconies and terraces on the south side.
В середине 90-х годов 19 века семья Барятинских покупает небольшой участок рядом с улицей Почтовой (сейчас Свердлова) в верхней части парка графа Мордвинова. И, спустя некоторое время, на его территории начинаются работы по строительству имения, к которым был привлечён архитектор Оскар Эмильевич Вегенер.
В результате на участке был построен дом с 17 комнатами в неороманском стиле с арочным въездом (местные жители его так и называют — «дом с аркой»), для которого из Финляндии специально привезли 2 парохода серого гранита. В архитектуре активно использовались характерные для Ялты того времени элементы модерна, а также балконы и террасы с южной стороны.
