The columns and ceiling at the southeast corner of the Walhalla memorial.
The Walhalla memorial is a hall of fame that honours distinguished people "of the German tongue".
The idea for such a memorial is from (at that time) Crown Prince Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1807. The building in neoclassicistic style, modeled after the Parthenon in Athens, was finally begun in 1830 and completed in 1842.

Sansia Old Street” generally refers to the southern section of Minquan St., and is about 200 meters long. The buildings have stood since the earliest period of the Republic of China. Various words on the building fronts represent surnames, names, and shop names, and their signage is very different to today’s. The buildings are equipped with magnificent verandahs, which are the most impressive parts of the buildings along this street. Their decorated archways are rich in culture and they play a valuable role in reminding people of the need to preserve historical relics. The outer walls of the buildings are built with red brick, while the inner walls were made of clay. The outer parts of the buildings are decorated with a variety of patterns, and in particular the second-floor windowsills, making them all the more beautiful. There are many with traditional Chinese patterns, animal motifs, and even foreign patterns. Opposite Minquan St. is a smaller wall, known for its unique styling, featuring solid, hollow, and framed styles of decoration.
I don't have any info on this building,but it's one of those strikingly detailed structures I saw on my way to Union Square Park in Manhattan on 14th St.If you want to find the faces on the façade just pinch zoom your device.The two obvious ones are near the bottom, then there are four more.What I find most interesting on it however are the Greek-styled column images between the windows on each floor.There are three types.I don't know the columns for the center windows.The bottom row of windows have Corinthian columns on them and the the top row have Ionic columns on them.Interesting patterned lines going across also. That top one looks like a zipper when zoomed in.Enjoy.
Der Kosmaten-Kreuzgang ist der schönste der drei Kreuzgänge dieses Klosters, dessen Ursprünge bis ins Jahr 520 zurückgehen, und das als letztes von ursprünglich 13 Klöstern im Aniene-Tal übrig ist.

The Monastery of Saint Scholastica was founded in 520 AD. The "Chiostro dei Cosmati" is the most beautiful of three cloisters here.

Este palacio porticado albergó en su día la aduana y la Casa de la Moneda de la República de Ragusa. Hoy día custodia los archivos municipales (algunos documentos datan de 1022). Su magnífica fachada constituye un punto de encuentro de los estilos gótico y renacentista. Fue uno de los pocos edificios que sobrevivió al terremoto de 1667 y su esplendor permite imaginar la opulencia de los palacios de la época. Al fondo del patio se distinguen el antiguo mecanismo del reloj de la ciudad y un monumento conmemorativo de los combatientes croatas de 1991-1992.
