In the Carmelite Priory in Mdina, Malta - a Baroque church built 1660-1675 - but the painting here in the dome actually dates to 1901.
The ceiling frescoes in the Freising cathedral.
The cathedral of Freising was built in Romanesque style from 1159 to 1205. First change to the interior was the replacement of the flat Romanesque wooden ceiling by a Gothic vault ceiling during 1481 to 1483. In a further change during the Baroque period the Gothic vault ribs were removed, the final change was the Rococo decoration created around 1724 by the brothers Cosmas Damian Asam and Egid Quirin Asam.

Unglücklicher Weise stand mir eben nur mein Handy zur Verfügung um dieses Spiel von Licht und Farbe am Flughafen in München einzufangen. - Unfortunately I only had my mobile phone to catch that play of light and colours here at the Munich airport.

The panels of the honeycomb glass ceiling Reykjavik's Harpa Concert Hall offer multitude of abstracts.
reflected in a mirror, so my neck is still ok and I didn't have to lie on the floor, which might have looked a little odd!!

Basilique Notre-Dame de Genève
The Basilica Notre-Dame of Geneva (Basilique Notre-Dame de Genève) is the main Roman Catholic church in Geneva, Switzerland. This neo-Gothic church, whose appearance is partly inspired by the Beauvais Cathedral, was built according to the design of Alexandre Grigny between 1852 and 1857 on the site of a former stronghold fortifications.

I loved the pillars and the vaulted ceilings in some of the rooms in the castle.
I liked the art work on some of the walls and trying to work out what it meant.
Bolsover Castle was built on top of/beside and was inspired by a much older, medieval fortress (nothing of which remains today) by William Cavendish.

The stone work in this church is quite amazing.
In the church Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome - this one was built in 1472-1477, replacing a medieval church (said to have been built on the spot where the wicked emperor Nero had been buried - though this is now very much doubted and that founding history is more to be viewed as a myth). It was originally a pure Renaissance church, but got some remodelling done in the 17th century which gives the church a touch of Baroque too. The biggest claim to fame for the church is, probably, the two paintings by Caravaggio in a chapel to the left of the high altar.
