Ragusa (Italian: [raˈɡuːza] Sicilian: Rausa; Latin: Ragusia) is a city and comune in southern Italy.
Château de la Mothe-Chandeniers, a true embodiment of romanticism and history, offers a captivating view as you stand by its ancient moat. Nature has woven its magic here, with resilient trees and greenery taking root within the protective embrace of the moat's stone walls. These towering sentinels of nature's reclamation tell a story of resilience and transformation, echoing the chateau's own storied past. As you gaze across the reflective waters, the château's graceful turrets and weathered façade rise from the moat, evoking a sense of timelessness and wonder. This view is a harmonious blend of architectural grandeur and the relentless spirit of nature, inviting contemplation and reflection in the heart of this enchanting castle.

The most important historical site in the Faroe Islands is that of Kirkjubøur. It's just a 5 minute drive from the ferry port at Gamlarætt, so if you're taking a day trip to the island of Sandoy (or I guess Hestur, although I'm not sure what you'd do there), it's a perfect place to stop and check out for 15-20 minutes or however long you wish.
Like other actual villages in the Faroes, there's not a whole ton you can really see in any particular village, and Kirkjubøur is fairly small, but still worth your while. Saint Olav's Church pictured here dates back to the 12th century, making it the oldest church still in use throughout the Faroes. Other notable buildings at the site include the ruins of Magnus Cathedral from around 1300 and the oldest still inhabited wooden house in the world, Kirkjubøargarður from the 11th century.

The Central City Library named after L. N. Tolstoy is one of the oldest libraries in the city and the south of Russia, opened on April 22, 1901, as a public library and was located at 37 Bolshaya Morskaya Street. In 1953, the library moved to a specially built building designed by architect M. Ushakova at 51 Lenin Street, where it is currently located. In the same year, the Central City Library was named after the great Russian writer Leo Tolstoy.

The Iron Trunk aqueduct crosses the River Ouse north of Milton Keynes.It's a Georgian structure, built in 1811 by canal engineer Benjamin Beavan, following the collapse of a previous brick-built structure, the aqueduct is 10.8m high.
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 first fortification on this site was built in 1368. Years later it was enlarged and became a splendid ducal palace, which was then practically completely destroyed during the Golden Ambrosian Republic. The Sforza family reconstructed the castle and made it into one of the most magnificent residences in Italy. Years later, the castle was used once more as a fortification under the Spanish and Austrian domination. Napoleon ordered the demolition of the castle in 1800 and a year later the Spanish bastions and towers were destroyed. During the second half of the nineteenth century the population was torn between keeping the Castle or destroying it to build a residential neighbourhood. However, the castle remained and the architect Luca Beltrami was instructed to renovate the castle, restoring it as it was when the Sforza family resided in it. The restoration was completed in 1905 and the central tower (Torre Filarete) and the were inaugurated. The park was built on the former parade grounds. During World War II the castle was severely damaged. At the end of the twentieth century the Castle square was built with a fountain in the centre. However, in the sixties it was destroyed when the Milan Metro was built. In 2005, the restoration of the Cortile della Ghirlanda and the halls of the castle were completed.
Изначально этот замок был построен в XIV в., когда аристократическая династия Висконти решила обзавестись резиденцией рядом с Миланом (на тот момент эта территория не входила в черту города). Несмотря на возведенные вокруг замка оборонительные сооружения, семья Висконти была атакована при свержении власти и была вынуждена покинуть свой дом. Сам замок был наполовину разрушен бунтующей толпой. Через несколько лет существования новой республики к власти пришел Франческо Сфорца, военачальник и новый герцог Милана, который сделал Сфорцеско своей резиденцией, и при нем полуразрушенный замок был восстановлен. Резиденцией герцогов замок стал лишь при сыне Франческо Сфорца — Галеаццо. Он расширил замок и привлек к внутренней отделке искусного архитектора Феррини. В XVI в. во время Итальянских войн замок был покинут хозяевами и пришел в упадок. Сфорцеско продолжал подвергаться набегам во время Революционных войн и был значительно поврежден. Его реставрация была проведена лишь в 1833 г., и тогда замок приобрел множество романтических черт. Однако во время войн в середине XIX в. между итальянцами и австрийцами замок Сфорца снова был разграблен и пребывал в запустении до 1900 г. В этом году было проведено масштабное восстановление замка, и по сей день он существует в том виде, который он приобрел при реставрации.
Российские туристы, посещая крепость Сфорца, сразу отмечают его внешнее сходство с Московским Кремлем. Основные похожие черты этих двух достопримечательностей — форма башен и череда зубцов на крепостных стенах. Причина этих сходств заключается в следующем: главную башню Сфорцеско проектировал Антонио Филарете. Этот архитектор одно время работал с другим известным итальянским мастером — Аристотелем Фиораванти. Именно Фиораванти был автором проекта Кремля в Москве.
Les Olympiades was built in the 1960s to form a new generation of urban design in Paris. It has no streets; instead, it centres communities around specific towers.
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.
Пале́рмо (др.-греч. Πάνορμος, лат. Panormus, итал. Palermo, сиц. Palermu) — главный город итальянского региона Сицилия , административный центр одноимённой провинции.
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.
