Vista dede un torreón del Castillo de Belmonte, municipio español de la provincia de Cuenca, en la comunidad autónoma de Castilla-La Mancha. Está situado en el punto kilométrico 342 de la carretera N-420, que va de Cuenca a Alcázar de San Juan, que es la misma que la de Córdoba a Tarragona.
Imprescindible visitar la Colegiata gótica de San Bartolomé del siglo XV: construida sobre una anterior iglesia visigótica. Destaca la sillería del coro, del siglo XV, tallada con historias bíblicas por Enrique Egas y procedente de la Catedral de Cuenca (de donde se trajeron en el siglo XVIII); es la primera sillería de coro tallada con imágenes de toda la península ibérica. Posee un órgano del siglo XVIII utilizado todavía para algunas celebraciones y conciertos de música sacra. En la pila bautismal, fue bautizado Fray Luis de León. Algunos retablos de los siglos XVI y XVII son interesantes.
Y el castillo gótico-mudéjar del siglo XV. Su construcción se inició en 1456 con don Juan Pacheco. Es muy probable que el arquitecto encargado de diseñar las trazas fuera Hanequin de Bruselas, que trabajó en la Colegiata, y que las continuara Juan Guas, quien está confirmado que trabajó para Pacheco en el monasterio del Parral en Segovia.
Photo of the William Henry Sternberg Mansion in Wichita, KS - circa 1976. This is a large 4-story home not including a full basement (w/ basement @ 8,000 sq. ft.), four decorative, corbelled chimney flues and five woodburning fireplaces, walnut staircase, ornate 4-light gas newel post lamp and original hardware throughout. Additional information can be found at: members.cox.net/wichitahpa/sternberg.html. W.H. Sternberg both designed and built residences and commercial buildings across the country (from about 1850 to about 1905). Other Sternberg designed and/or Sternberg-built structures are known to exist in New York and Missouri. Other states such as Indiana and Connecticut are suspected. The very first house ever built in Wichita was at 9th & Waco Ave. and Sternberg Mansion is at 10th & Waco Ave. - in the heart of historic Wichita. Durfee's Ranch, the first trading post in early Wichita, was located a few hundred feet from here. Jesse Chisholm, for whom the famous Chisholm Trail was named traded at Durfee's Ranch. Wichita grew rapidly in the 1860s & 1870s. When Sternberg Mansion was built in 1886, Waco Avenue was the most exclusive residential district in Wichita and grand palatial homes such as this lined the Avenue. In 1886, Sternberg Mansion cost the handsome sum of $25,000 to build. For fledgling settlers making a "go" of it in early Wichita this was a hefty amount indeed. The rest of these upscale homes on Waco Avenue (among them the Charles Smythe residence and the Finlay Ross residence) are now gone and Sternberg Mansion is the last of these grand old Victorian homes in what was once Wichita's most exclusive residential district. W.H. Sternberg was the area's most prolific builder in the last half of the 1800s and was popular not just for his designs and quality of his work but for his reputation as an honest and civic-minded person. Sternberg in known to have donated building materials and labor for worthy causes such as the poor house and the early Masons movement in Wichita. Indeed due to his pro bono work on the old masonic lodge at 1st and Topeka and giving the Masons a place in which to conduct meetings, Sternberg is credited with being one of three people instrumental in reviving the early mason's movement in Wichita - which today is still strong. Sternberg hired only those of the highest character and skill and supervised a full-time crew of approximately 40 laborers. Sternberg only lived in the mansion for 3 years. When Wichita's economy "hit the skids" in 1889, Sternberg sold to a friend but he remained in the area continuing his design and contracting work until 1905. W.H. Sternberg passed away in 1906 at the age of 74. He is credited with many "firsts" in the industry including the first builder to hire an architect (the renowned Stanford White of New York) for purely aesthetics and design of a residence, and unique features catering to the comfort of Victorian homeowners such as the first-ever laundry chute in a residence. As of 04/08/2009 the house is being restored with the intent of opening it as a historic house museum. Present owner (04/08/2009) is open to assistance from interested parties that may help with renovation to a historic house museum.
UPDATE: As of 03/2010, the Historic Sternberg Mansion was selected as the "Most Endangered Historic Property in Kansas" by the Kansas Preservation Alliance. Your help is needed to save this historic and architectural jewel from demolition . . .

The museum is a purpose-built structure that houses the art collection of John Bowes (1811-1885), who mostly made his money from coal, and his French wife, the actress and singer Joséphine Coffin-Chevallier (1825-1874). The couple employed the French architect, Jules Pellechet, to design the building.
Work began in 1869 and was completed in 1892, by which time the founders had died. The building was listed Grade I in 1950.
There's a Wikipedia page about the museum here and a personal appreciation here. The museum's full of fine and beautiful works -- sculptures, glass, fabrics, pottery, furniture and carvings, as well as paintings. There are 25 of the best exhibits shown here. (The Ottoboni portrait and the Canalettos are especially wonderful.)

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.
