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.

A very old historic structure in Rome. I was amazed by the huge columns and structure of the building while on vacation in Rome.
Inmejorable ejemplo de "pueblo blanco", Arcos de la Frontera es un pequeño laberinto de callejas entrelazadas que se adaptan a la difícil orografía del cerro.
Arcos de la Fronter Cádiz Spain
Excellent example of "white people", Arcos de la Frontera is a small maze of streets to fit interlocking the difficult terrain of the hill.
""Appearances can be deceiving. These classical columns, at the gallery’s entrance, might appear hewn from marble, but are actually made of paper.
In Column Shred (2015), Christian Andersson (1973) creates a classic trompe l’oeil effect (optical illusion). It is the shadow drawn on six hanging floor-to-ceiling prints in particular, that make the illusion of colossal volumes so convincing.
Although the work has a two-dimensional structure, the artist plays with the third dimension both in drawing as well as in space. This creates a stage for the viewer in which Christian can write his story.""

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.
