Two very similar looking buildings in the business district of Noisy le Grand Mont d'Est in the Eastern Paris suburbs.
The Fort of Fenestrelle, nestled in the Piedmontese Alps, is one of the largest and most complex mountain fortresses in Europe. Construction began in 1728 by the Kingdom of Sardinia (House of Savoy) to defend against French incursions. Stretching over 3 kilometers up the mountainside, its vast system of walls, bastions, and stairways reflects centuries of military engineering. Known as the 'Great Wall of the West,' it played a strategic role in regional defense until the 20th century.
Perched atop Algiers' heights, Dar Abdellatif, a resplendent Moorish villa, bears witness to a rich tapestry of history and artistry.
Constructed in the 18th century during the deylical era, it began as a countryside retreat described in records dating back to 1715. Passing through various hands, it finally found prominence under Si Mahmoud Abd-el-Tif in 1795.
In the early 20th century, thanks to the vision of art critic Arsène Alexandre and the Société des peintres orientalistes français, Dar Abdellatif was reborn as the Villa Abd-el-Tif, a haven for artists. Renowned curator Léonce Bénédite oversaw its transformation.
Designated a historic monument in 1922, this villa hosted notable artists, such as Paul Jouve and Léon Cauvy, through the Abd-el-Tif Prize, fostering a legacy of creative excellence.
Today, Dar Abdellatif stands as a cultural gem, a testament to the enduring bond between history, art, and the human spirit.

Yelagin Palace is a Palladian villa on Yelagin Island in Saint Petersburg, which served as a royal summer palace during the reign of Alexander I. The villa was designed for Alexander's mother, Maria Fyodorovna, by the architect Carlo Rossi. It was constructed in 1822 on the site of an earlier mansion built during the rule of Catherine the Great. The house was destroyed during World War II but was rebuilt and currently houses a museum.
