Stourhead, located in Wiltshire, England, is a world-famous 18th-century landscape garden created by Henry Hoare II. Designed in the spirit of a living painting, it features a large artificial lake, classical temples, grottoes, and sweeping vistas inspired by Italian landscapes. Today, it’s managed by the National Trust and is celebrated as one of the finest examples of the English landscape garden.

The National Monument was meant to be a replica of the Athenian Acropolis, being built in the 1800s as a monument after the Napoleonic Wars, but the money ran out and it was never finished. Over the intervening two centuries there has been the odd call to finish it, but most of us prefer it like this.
It stands on top of Calton Hill, just a few moments walk from the end of busy Princes Street, the hill offers wonderful 360 degree views across Edinburgh and the Firth of Forth. This month (until the 25th) a new sound and light set of artworks, Message From the Skies, is being projected onto buildings around the city. This one is being projected onto the National Monument and is by Kapka Kassabova. It was beautiful to watch and listen to, standing on the dark hill under the rising winter moon.
The message on all of them is of friendship with Europe - Scotland voted heavily to remain in the EU and there is real anger here at the London government pulling us out against our wishes, hence the theme of European roots and friendship on these projections.
Sirmio! of Islands and Peninsulas
Eyelet, and whatsoe'er in limpid meres
And vasty Ocean either Neptune owns,
Thy scenes how willing-glad once more I see,
At pain believing Thynia and the Fields
Bithynian left, I'm safe to sight thy Site.
Oh what more blessèd be than cares resolved,
When mind casts burthen and by peregrine
Work over wearied, lief we hie us home
To lie reposing in the longed-for bed!
This be the single meed for toils so triste.
Hail, O fair Sirmio, in thy lord rejoice:
And ye, O' waves of Lybian Lake be glad,
And laugh what laughter pealeth in my home.
Catullus. Carmina.

This building is the centerpiece of Centennial Park in Nashville, TN, and is a full scale replica of the original Parthenon in Greece.

A view of the temple area at Anglesey Abbey, guarded by a lion statue. Part of the National Trust estate, the temple sits within the gardens redesigned by Lord Fairhaven in the 20th century, blending classical architectural elements with the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape. The guardian lion adds a sense of grandeur, reflecting the estate’s mix of historic charm and playful landscaping features.

I saw quite a few disappointed muslim refugees here, as this mosque in Schwetzingen Palace gardens serves decorative purposes only. It was built by Nicolas de Pigage.

Etliche enttäuschte Kleingruppen islamischer "Flüchtlinge" oder "Auswanderer" (wie auch immer der aktuell politisch korrekte Terminus lautet) mussten feststellen, dass es sich hierbei nur um eine attraktive Attrappe handelt, die zu rein dekorativen Zecken von Nicolas de Pigage erbaut wurde.

The Treasury building at Petra - the most famous building in this incredible archaeological complex.
A Catedral de Pamplona, localizada em Navarra, Espanha, ostenta uma fachada neoclássica que substituiu a antiga fachada românica. Projetada por Ventura Rodríguez e concluída entre 1783 e 1792, a fachada exibe influências da arquitetura clássica greco-romana, caracterizada por simetria, proporções equilibradas e o uso de colunas clássicas.
Pilastras coríntias sustentam um frontão triangular, elemento típico do neoclassicismo, e a ornamentação inclui esculturas e relevos de figuras religiosas e simbólicas, realçando o significado espiritual da catedral.
A catedral, originalmente construída em estilo românico no século XII, passou por várias reformas, culminando na sua fachada neoclássica. Esta transição reflete um movimento europeu que visava reviver os princípios clássicos em resposta ao excesso barroco. A consagração da catedral em 1880 marcou um momento crucial na história religiosa de Pamplona.
Curiosamente, a fachada neoclássica foi alvo de críticas por parte do escritor Ernest Hemingway, que a descreveu como "feia" na sua obra "O Sol Também Nasce/Fiesta". Apesar desta opinião subjetiva, a fachada é considerada uma das obras mais puras e representativas do neoclassicismo na Península Ibérica.
