The Roman Catholic church of St Charles in Gosforth was built in 1911 (replacing an earlier iron-built structure) and is a handsome building with two small west steeples flanking the main facade and a wide cruciform body culminating in a shallow apse. The interior is partially enlivened by marble-cladding, particularly around the sanctuary.
The outstanding features here however are in glass, principally the two large windows that dominate the north and south transepts, the largest windows in the church and both filled with gloriously rich stained glass by Harry Clarke Studios of Dublin and installed in 1945 (long after the death of Clarke himself and most likely designed by his successor Richard King). The south window depicts the Nativity, whilst that to the north represents the Deposition, with Christ's body being removed from the Cross. There is a further window by the same studio in the south nave clerestorey depicting Christ before Pilate, somewhat smaller and sadly less accessible.
This is a thoroughly rewarding church to visit for lovers of stained glass, though it is best to check with the church about access as it isn't always open outside mass times.
The Massandra Palace, built in the 19th century in Upper Massandra on the Southern coast of Crimea, was the residence of Emperor Alexander III. The building was built in the style of ancient castles of the period of the French king Louis XIII. It is often called the "little Versailles".
Массандровский дворец, построенный в XIX веке в Верхней Массандре на Южном берегу Крыма, был резиденцией императора Александра III. Здание возведено в стиле старинных замков периода французского короля Людовика XIII. Его нередко называют «малым Версалем».

Chapel Viaduct .Renowned as being the second largest brick built structure in England, the first being recognised as Battersea Power Station, Chappel Viaduct is situated near Wakes Colne in Essex off the A1124 (Colchester Road) and spans the picturesque Colne Valley. It presently still supports the Sudbury to Marks Tey line which regularly connects with trains to and from London's Liverpool Street Station along the main line.
The foundation stone for this man made wonder was laid on the 14th September 1847. A bottle containing a newly minted sovereign, a half-sovereign, a shilling, a sixpence and a four-penny piece was placed underneath this stone. This bottle and all its contents were stolen shortly after the laying ceremony; the culprit was caught after he tried to pass over a brand new sovereign coin in the Rose and Crown public house.
Chappel Viaduct is 1,066ft long and some 5 to 6 million bricks are believed to have been used in its construction. A work force of 606 men known at the time as 'navvies' were employed to complete the work which took two years, this was relatively fast for such a large structure. The Viaduct has 32 arches; each having a span of 30ft and at its maximum the height is 75ft. Although so many bricks were used in the construction, to save money and to cut down on weight, the piers were left hollow.
The engineer of the viaduct was Peter Schuyler Bruff and his plan was for the line to continue on as far as Ipswich in Suffolk, but the railway company did not have sufficient funds for this. Bruff later built the line himself and is also credited for founding the Essex seaside resort of Clacton-on-Sea.
On the 2nd July 1849, the first passenger train crossed the viaduct from Colchester to Sudbury carrying an official party. A large crowd greeted the honoured guests at Sudbury despite its station still being unfinished.
To this day Chappel Viaduct is in daily use by trains and is well worth a visit if you are in the area. It attracts many tourists and visitors every year and is a highly photographed structure. Bordering the viaduct is The Chappel Millennium Green and as the name suggests this was opened to celebrate the Millennium. It contains a walk around area and children's play area which should keep the kids amused while you take in this wonder.
Santa Maria dei Miracoli presso San Celso is a church and a sanctuary. The construction was begun by Gian Giacomo Dolcebuono and Giovanni Battagio in 1493, to house a miraculous icon of the Madonna, initially on the central plan. The first part to be built was the octagonal dome, covered externally by a tambour with a loggia and arcades decorated by twelve brickwork statues by Agostino De Fondulis, designed in Lombard style by Giovanni Antonio Amadeo (1494-1498). In 1506 to the original edifice a complex with nave and two aisles was added, the former covered by a monumental barrel vault also by Amadeo; the presbytery received a polygonal ambulatory inspired to that in the Duomo. In the 16th century also the square portico in classical style was added, perhaps designed by Cesare Cesariano or Cristoforo Lombardo (il Lombardino). The massive eclectic and Mannerist style façade was designed by Galeazzo Alessi in the late 16th century and was realized by Martino Bassi; it is decorated by numerous statues and reliefs by Stoldo Lorenzi and Annibale Fontana.
Комплекс Санта-Мария дей Мираколи состоит из церкви Св. Цельсия (chiesa di San Celso) и храма Санта-Мария прессо Сан-Челсо (Santa Maria presso San Celso). Первая церковь, восходящая к древним временам, была перестроена в 996 году рядом с бенедиктинским монастырем, при реконструкции в XI веке она была перестроена в романском стиле: трехнефная базилика с единой абсидой. Нынешний фасад, продвинутый назад, по сравнению с оригинальным, является результатом стилистической реконструкции, осуществленной Луиджи Каноника (1851-54). Справа возвышается мощная колокольня в романо-ломбардском стиле, являющаяся одной из старейших в городе. Сантуарий был выполнен после 1490 года и заменил небольшую капеллу поздней готики (1429-39), которая уже не вмещала большого количества паломников, приходивших поклониться чудодейственному образу Девы Марии, хранившемуся там. Строительство купола (украшенного статуями из терракоты Агостина де Фонтутиса) и тибуриума было поручено Джованни Антонио Амадео и Джан Джакомо Дольчебуоно в 1497 году. В 1505 году Кристофоро Солари начинает строительство тройного портика перед фасадом, который стал первым миланским образцом зрелого классицизма; внутри открытая кладка кирпича с отдельными коринфскими бронзовыми капителями, снаружи отделан белым мрамором. Позднее церковь быда расширена под руководством Чезаре Чезариано (с 1513 года) и Кристофоро Ломбардо (с 1528 г.) путем строительства крытой галереи и боковых нефов. В 1563 году начались работы на фасаде, по проекту Галеаццо Алесси, позднее дополненные Мартино Басси.

وإلى مصر من قبل الدولة العثمانية في سنة (975 هـ) ~ ( 1567م ).
👈له مدخلان متقابلان أحدهما
في منتصف الوجهة الشمالية
والثاني في منتصف الوجهة الجنوبية
ويتوصل إلى كل منهما ببضع درجات ، ،
وهو خال من جهاته الأربع ومبنى مرتفعا عن منسوب الطريق وفتح بوجهاته صفان من الشبابيك تعلوها مقرنصات وتتوجها شرفات مورقة، ومنارته أسطوانية تحليها خطوط رأسية بارزة ولها دورة واحدة مكونة من مقرنصات متعددة الحطات وتغطيها مسلة مخروطية على نمط مآذن الطراز العثماني، وهى تقوم على قاعدة أسطوانية مثلها تقع بالناصية الشرقية الجنوبية للمسجد كنظيرتها بمسجد السلطان حسن.
وتخطيطه
عبارة عن حيز مربع طول ضلعه 19.80 متر تتوسطه أربعة أعمدة ضخمة من الجرانيت ترتكز عليها أربعة عقود تحمل سقف الجزء الأوسط من المسجد المرتفع عن باقى سقفه. ويتوسط الجدار الشرقي محراب حجري بجواره منبر خشبى وإلى يساره باب يؤدى إلى مربع صغير بارز عن سمت جدار المحراب تغطيه قبة مرتفعة ووقوع القبة خلف المحراب ظاهرة اقتبست من مثيلتها بمسجد السلطان حسن أيضا. وجميع أسقف المسجد من الخشب المنقوش بزخارف جميلة ملونة ومذهبة ويحيط بها إزار مكتوب به آيات قرآنية واسم المنشئ وتاريخ الإنشاء سنة 975 هجرية. هذا ويحلى جدران المسجد من الداخل شبابيك من الجص المفرغ المملوء بالزجاج الملون. وقد توالت أعمال الإصلاح بهذا المسجد وكان آخرها ما أمر به جلالة الملك المعظم فاروق الأول من تقوية عقوده وإصلاح سقفه وقد تم ذلك في سنة 1940 ميلادية. #IsLam #Mosque #Sheikh #minaret #islamic_architecture #byzantine #palace #bosphourus #muslim #basilica #Buliding_Exterior #City #Architectural_Dome #Momunment #Religion #Built_Structure
