The Chesme Column is a rostral column (a type of victory column) in Catherine Park of the former Russian royal residence of Tsarskoye Selo, a suburb of Saint Petersburg, Russia, that commemorates three Russian naval victories in the Russo-Turkish War, 1768-1774, specifically the Battle of Chesma. It was constructed in the Large Pond of the Landscape Park of the Catherine Palace to Rinaldi's designs over the years 1774-78. The column should not be confused with the Chesme Obelisk in Gatchina.
The monument is a Doric rostral column of white-and-pink marble, decorated with ship bows rostra and crowned by a bronze figure of an eagle (symbol of Russia) trampling a crescent (symbol of Turkey). The column stands on a grey marble pedestal lined with bronze bas-reliefs illustrating the Russian victories: these were destroyed by the Germans during World War II and subsequently restored from old photographs. The pedestal rests on a stepped pyramid-like granite platform.

portico of Via Crucis - Sacred Mountain of Ghiffa - UNESCO World Heritage Site (2003)
Il Sacro Monte di Ghiffa (o Sacro Monte della Santa Trinità) è inserito nel gruppo dei Sacri Monti prealpini inseriti nel 2003 nell'elenco dei "Patrimoni dell'umanità". Tra la fine del XVI e la metà del XVII secolo, fu concepito un piano edilizio per l'ampliamento dell'antico oratorio dedicato alla Santissima Trinità e la costruzione, attorno ad esso, di un Sacro Monte sulla collina fitta di boschi con incantevole vista sul Lago Maggiore. Altri interventi costruttivi ebbero luogo tra la metà del XVII ed il secolo successivo. Nel suo stato attuale il sacro monte comprende, oltre al santuario, tre cappelle dedicate a differenti soggetti biblici e l'elegante porticato della Via Crucis.
The Sacred Mountain of Ghiffa is a Roman Catholic devotional complex in the comune of Ghiffa, (Piedmont, northern Italy), overlooking the Lake Maggiore. It is one of the nine Sacri Monti of Piedmont and Lombardy, included in UNESCO World Heritage list.
The dedication to the mystery of the Trinity was influenced by a pre-existing small oratory on Mount Cariago. The panoramic view over the Piedmont side of Lake Maggiore displays a high level of compositional architecture and landscape research. The monumental complex is not homogeneous but remains incomplete and the authors and founders are anonymous. The Chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary Crowned was the first to be constructed in 1647. The portico of Via Crucis, erected in the 17th century, underlines the shift from the themes of the Counter Reformation to that of the Passion of Christ.
