Am 10. Juli 2020 empfing Malmö, Schweden, mit einem klaren Himmel und Temperaturen, die bis zu 24°C erreichten. Ein durchwachsener Sommertag, an dem sich die Stadt dennoch von ihrer schönsten Seite zeigte. Der Abend brachte einen spektakulären Sonnenuntergang, der den Hafen und das historische Schloss in goldenes Licht tauchte und die ruhige Atmosphäre der Umgebung verstärkte.
Malmö ist eine Stadt mit tief verwurzelter Geschichte, die bis ins Mittelalter zurückreicht. Das Herzstück dieser Geschichte ist das Malmöhus, das älteste erhaltene Renaissance-Schloss in Skandinavien. Errichtet in den 1430er Jahren, war das Schloss zunächst eine Festung, die von Erik von Pommern, dem damaligen König von Dänemark, Norwegen und Schweden, erbaut wurde. Ursprünglich als Verteidigungsanlage gegen mögliche Angriffe von See konzipiert, wurde das Schloss im Laufe der Jahrhunderte mehrfach umgebaut und erweitert, um den wechselnden Bedürfnissen der Zeit gerecht zu werden.
Die strategische Lage von Malmö am Öresund machte die Stadt zu einem wichtigen Handelszentrum im Mittelalter. Der Hafen von Malmö spielte dabei eine zentrale Rolle, da er den Handel zwischen den skandinavischen Ländern und dem Rest Europas ermöglichte. Die Nähe zur dänischen Hauptstadt Kopenhagen und die günstigen Bedingungen für den Seehandel förderten das Wachstum der Stadt. In dieser Zeit erlebte Malmö eine Blütezeit, die sich in der Architektur und der Stadtentwicklung widerspiegelte.
Im Laufe der Jahrhunderte durchlebte Malmö zahlreiche politische und wirtschaftliche Veränderungen. Nachdem Schweden im Jahr 1658 im Frieden von Roskilde die Region Schonen von Dänemark übernommen hatte, änderte sich auch die Bedeutung der Stadt. Malmö verlor an strategischer Bedeutung und durchlief eine Phase des wirtschaftlichen Niedergangs. Dennoch blieb das Schloss Malmöhus ein Symbol für die wechselvolle Geschichte der Region und diente im 19. Jahrhundert zeitweise sogar als Gefängnis.
Mit der Industrialisierung im 19. Jahrhundert begann Malmö, sich zu einer modernen Stadt zu entwickeln. Der Hafen spielte erneut eine zentrale Rolle, diesmal als Drehscheibe für den Handel und die Industrie. Werften, Maschinenbau und später die Automobilindustrie prägten das Stadtbild und sorgten für wirtschaftlichen Aufschwung. Die Stadt wuchs schnell, und mit ihr die Bedeutung des Hafens, der auch heute noch ein wichtiger Bestandteil der Infrastruktur von Malmö ist.
Im 20. Jahrhundert erlebte Malmö jedoch erneut eine Phase des Wandels. Der Rückgang der Schwerindustrie führte zu wirtschaftlichen Herausforderungen, und die Stadt musste sich neu erfinden. Heute ist Malmö ein Beispiel für erfolgreiche urbane Erneuerung, bei der historische Bauten wie das Schloss Malmöhus erhalten und gleichzeitig moderne Entwicklungen vorangetrieben wurden. Die Eröffnung der Öresundbrücke im Jahr 2000, die Malmö mit Kopenhagen verbindet, war ein weiterer Meilenstein in der Geschichte der Stadt und hat ihre Bedeutung als Tor zu Europa gestärkt.
Der Hafen von Malmö, einst ein Zentrum des Handels und der Industrie, hat sich zu einem beliebten Ziel für Freizeitaktivitäten entwickelt. Yachten und Segelboote prägen heute das Bild, und die Uferpromenade lädt zu Spaziergängen ein. Die alten Lagerhäuser und Industriebauten wurden in moderne Wohn- und Geschäftsgebäude umgewandelt, und die Umgebung bietet einen interessanten Kontrast zwischen Alt und Neu.
Als touristische Sehenswürdigkeit ist das Schloss Malmöhus ein wichtiger Anziehungspunkt für Besucher. Das gut erhaltene Bauwerk bietet einen Einblick in die Geschichte der Region und zeigt die architektonischen Stile vergangener Jahrhunderte. Der Schlosspark und die umliegenden Wassergräben tragen zur idyllischen Atmosphäre bei, die den Besuch zu einem besonderen Erlebnis macht. Die Kombination aus historischer Architektur und moderner Stadtentwicklung macht Malmö zu einem interessanten Ziel für Reisende.

The Palace of Fine Arts was designed by Bernard Maybeck. Maybeck designed what was essentially a fictional ruin from another time. He took his inspiration from Roman and Ancient Greek architecture (specifically Piranesi's etching of the remnants of the so-called Temple of Minerva Medica in Rome), and also from Böcklin's symbolism painting Isle of the Dead.

A winery located on the south coast of Crimea, Russia with more than 2,500 years of viticulture.
Winery «Massandra» - one of the oldest wineries in Yalta, which was built by Prince Lev Golitsyn in 1898. And unique. 7 tunnels, 150 meters long each, went to a depth of up to 50 meters. Here wines matured in huge oak barrels. And for bottling under the ground, 9 galleries were laid with niches carved into the walls and lined with stone, where a million bottles could fit. That is how much the collection of the winery has today, for which it is listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
