Notre-Dame de Mortemer Abbey is an ancient Cistercian men's abbey founded in 1134 by King Henry Beauclerc, located between Lyons-la-Forêt and Lisors. It was the first Cistercian abbey in Normandy. Most of the original buildings dating from the 11th and 13th centuries are in a state of ruin and were classified as historic monuments.

High winds and heavy showers was proving to be a photographers nightmare on the bridge. Great light but trying to keep the camera still for longer than a few seconds in the wind was impossible. Strapping the tripod to the railings helped get over 30 seconds, then came the rain. Best shot of the evening!

The Louvre or the Louvre Museum (French: Musée du Louvre, pronounced: [myze dy luvʁ]) (French About this sound (help·info)) is the world's largest museum and a historic monument in Paris, France. A central landmark of the city, it is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the city's 1st arrondissement (district or ward). Approximately 38,000 objects from prehistory to the 21st century are exhibited over an area of 72,735 square metres (782,910 square feet).[3] The Louvre is the world's second most visited museum after the Palace Museum in China, receiving more than 9.26 million visitors in 2014.
The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace, originally built as a fortress in the late 12th century under Philip II. Remnants of the fortress are visible in the basement of the museum. Due to the urban expansion of the city, the fortress eventually lost its defensive function and, in 1546, was converted by Francis I into the main residence of the French Kings

Αρχαίο θέατρο Δωδώνης
Το αρχαίο θέατρο της Δωδώνης στην Ήπειρο είναι από τα μεγαλύτερα και καλύτερα σωζόμενα αρχαία ελληνικά θέατρα. Η χωρητικότητα του θεάτρου είναι 18.000 θεατές. Το θέατρο της Δωδώνης αποτελούσε τμήμα του πανελλήνιου ιερού της Δωδώνης και κατασκευάστηκε τον 3ο αιώνα π.Χ. από τον βασιλιά της Ηπείρου Πύρρο (297-272 π.Χ.) που θέλησε με αρχιτεκτονικά μνημεία και οικοδομήματα να στολίσει τις περιοχές του βασιλείου του. Την ίδια εποχή κατασκευάστηκε και το μικρό θέατρο της αρχαίας Αμβρακίας. Το κοίλο του θεάτρου της Δωδώνης τοποθετήθηκε στους πρόποδες του όρους Τόμαρος σε φυσική κοιλότητα ώστε να εκμεταλευτεί το επικλινές έδαφος, πράγμα που ήταν η συνηθισμένη πρακτική στην κατασκευή των αρχαίων ελληνικών θεάτρων.Η ορχήστα του θεάτρου δεν είναι ολοκληρωμένος κύκλος και έχει μεγαλύτερη διάμετρο 18,70.
Το θέατρο έπαθε απανωτές καταστροφές, ανοικοδομήσεις και διαμορφώσεις στους αιώνες που ακολούθησαν την παρακμή του βασιλείου της Ηπείρου και στα χρόνια της ρωμαικής κατάκτησης χρησιμοποιήθηκε ως αρένα. Από τον 4ο αιώνα μ.Χ. έπαψε να λειτουργεί. Οι πρώτες ανασκαφές και αναστηλώσεις στον αρχαιολογικό χώρο της Δωδώνης άρχισαν το 1875 και συνεχίζονται μέχρι σήμερα. Το θέατρο της Δωδώνης στις μέρες μας φιλοξενεί κάποιες παραστάσεις τους καλοκαιρινούς μήνες. Το αρχαίο θέατρο της Δωδώνης βρίσκεται σε απόσταση 22 χιλιομέτρων από τα Γιάννενα.
Ancient theater of Dodoni
The ancient theater of Dodoni in Epirus is one of the largest and best preserved ancient greek theaters. The capacity of the theater is 18,000 spectators. The theater of Dodoni was part of the Panhellenic sanctuary of Dodoni and was constructed in the 3rd century B.C. by King Pyrros of Epirus (297-272 B.C.) who wanted to decorate the areas of his kingdom with architectural monuments and buildings. At the same time the small theater ancient Amvrakia was constructed. The hollow of the theater of Dodoni was placed at the foot of Mount Tomaros in a natural cavity to take advantage of the sloping terrain, which was the usual practice in the construction of ancient greek theaters. The orchestra of the theater is not a complete cycle and has a

I was very pleasantly surprised by your enthusiastic reactions to my photo of Tudor Castle, so here is another view of the castle: through the trees of its drive. In fact this is the front of the now uninhabited castle, which is a historic monument.

Carrickfergus Castle (from the Irish Carraig Ḟergus or "cairn of Fergus", the name "Fergus" meaning "strong man") is a Norman castle in Northern Ireland, situated in the town of Carrickfergus in County Antrim, on the northern shore of Belfast Lough. Besieged in turn by the Scottish, native Irish, English and French, the castle played an important military role until 1928 and remains one of the best preserved medieval structures in Northern Ireland. It was strategically useful, with 3/4 of the castle perimeter surrounded by water (although in modern times only 1/3 is surrounded by water due to land reclamation). Today it is maintained by the Northern Ireland Environment Agency as an historic monument.

΄Ενα επικών διαστάσεων κτίσμα για το οποίο το ΣτΕ μόλις το 1999 απεφάνθη ότι πρόκειται για πολιτιστικό και όχι αμιγώς θρησκευτικό μνημείο.
Έχω επισημάνει την ανθρώπινη παρουσία ώστε να συνειδητοποιήσει ο θεατής την μεγαλοπρέπειά του.
An epic building for which the Council of State only in 1999 ruled that it is a cultural and not a purely religious monument.
I have highlighted the human presence so that the viewer realizes his grandeur.

Κατά το Μεσαίωνα, στην Οία υπήρχε ένα από τα «Καστέλια» του νησιού: το «Καστέλι του Αγίου Νικολάου».
Υπάρχουν αναφορές για την ύπαρξη του κάστρου από το 1480. Προφανώς άρχισε να διαμορφώνεται λίγο νωρίτερα, την περίοδο που οι Ενετοί ήταν οι κυρίαρχοι του νησιού.
Από το καστέλι του Αγίου Νικολάου στην Οία σήμερα σώζεται ένα κομμάτι του γουλά (πύργου). Πήρε το όνομά του από υπόσκαφη εκκλησία αφιερωμένη στον Άγιο Νικόλαο και χτίστηκε γύρω στο 1450.
Το καστέλι υπέστη μεγάλες ζημιές από το σεισμό του 1956 και ένα μεγάλο μέρος του παραδοσιακού οικισμού υποχώρησε στη θάλασσα κάτω από την καλντέρα. Μεγάλοι Ναοί, όπως η εκκλησία του Αγίου Γεωργίου και της Παναγίας της Πλατσανής καταστράφηκαν ολοσχερώς.
Παρόλο λοιπόν που δεν σώζονται πολλά πράγματα από το κάστρο, το σημείο αυτό είναι από τα πιο τουριστικά μέρη της Ελλάδας. Είναι το σημείο όπου καταφτάνουν κάθε απόγευμα άνθρωποι απ’ όλο τον κόσμο για να δουν το ηλιοβασίλεμα.
In the Middle Ages, in the period that Santorini was a Venetian possession, Oia was one of the 'Kastelia' (fortified settlements) of the island. It was called "Kasteli of Agios Nikolaos". The castle is mentioned in a document dated in 1480. Oia suffered harshly in the earthquake of 1956 and much of the traditional settlement tumbled into the sea below the caldera. Resplendent sanctuaries such as the church of Agios Georgios and Panagia of Platsanis were completely destroyed and only a small part of the castle remained.
Nowadays the site of the Kasteli in Oia is a favourite spot for sunset watching.
Nikolskaya church (The church of St. Nicholas) inside the Fortress. Church was built in 1498.
Fortress was constructed in 1492.

This picture was in "Flickr's Explore" on April 28th 2025. Publiée par Flickr dans "Explorez" le 28 avril 2025 (autour du no 368 sur Fluidr/EXPLORE du 28 avril 2025): www.fluidr.com/explore/interesting/2025/04/28
Ce monument se dresse au milieu des cerisiers Yoshino en fleurs sur la rive sud du Tidal Basin du National Mall, Washington DC, la capitale des USA.
Une vue à partir de la rive ouest du bassin près du Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial.
Situé à l'extrémité sud du bassin et de la 15th Street SW, ce monument qui ressemble à un temple, avec sa rotonde ouverte entourée de colonnes ioniques et surmonté d'un dôme, offre l'une des images les plus célèbres de Washington. Ces colonnes protègent une statue de Jefferson (1743-1826), le 3e président américain haute de 6 m entouré par des passages gravés de la Déclaration d'Indépendance. Construit en 1934, le style du bâtiment rend hommage à la demeure de Jefferson, architecte de profusion, située en Virginie.
Le Tidal Basin est un bassin artificiel d'eau douce qui a été créé à la fin du 19e siècle, entre le fleuve Potomac et le Washington Channel. L'été, on peut le parcourir en pédalo.
Au printemps, de la fin mars au début avril, dans le cadre du National Cherry Blossom Festival, on y profite de la floraison des cerisiers Yoshino en fleurs qui furent offert aux USA par le Japon en 1912. L’édition de 2023 avait été programmé du 20 mars au 16 avril. Il s'agit d'un hommage annuel à l'amitié de longue date entre le Japon et les États-Unis. En effet, plus de 3 000 arbres sont arrivés à Washington en 1912 après une coordination entre les gouvernements des deux pays. Lors d'une cérémonie simple le 27 mars 1912, la première dame Helen Herron Taft et la vicomtesse Chinda, épouse de l'ambassadeur du Japon, ont planté les deux premiers arbres du Japon sur la rive nord du Tidal Bassin dans le West Potomac Park.
Le National Mall est une grande esplanade verte, un parc ouvert au public du centre-ville de Washington, D.C qui fait office de rue principale et de square municipal. Il s'étend du Lincoln Memorial jusqu'au Capitole des États-Unis et marque la limite entre deux des quatre quadrants partageant la ville : Northwest (NW) et Southwest (SW). On y inclut communément les zones qui font officiellement partie du West Potomac Park et les Constitution Gardens à l'ouest. Son plan est originellement dessiné par Pierre Charles L'Enfant mais celui-ci ayant été remercié de ses services avant même la construction de la ville, il fallut attendre plus de 110 ans avant que le projet ne soit réalisé par le National Park Service qui l'adopta.
Le Mall et ses pelouses forment l'un des lieux touristiques les plus connus de la ville et est souvent utilisé pour les manifestations en raison de sa signification civique et historique. Aujourd'hui cette grande allée de 3.5 km de long est bordée par de nombreux musées dont ceux de la Smithsonian Institution, monuments et mémoriaux.
