l'église Saint-Jean-Baptiste domine la colline où s’étage la ville de Mézin. Vestige monumental d'un monastère bénédictin (clunisien) construit vers 1100, son architecture fut très influencée par l'abbatiale de Saint-Sever dans les Landes, notamment pour ses chapiteaux romans.
Le plan de l’église Saint-Jean-Baptiste est en forme de croix latine. Le chœur roman à la voute en cul de four restauré au XIXème date du XIème siècle. Voutée d'ogives, la nef des XIIIème et XIVème siècles est gothique. Les absides sont contemporaines du chœur. Le clocher fut reconstruit au XIXème siècle suite à un incendie. Les vitraux datent du XIXème siècle.
Plaza del Pilar in Zaragoza (Spain) is the largest pedestrian square in Europe and is a Marian pilgrimage site and a gathering place for residents and visitors alike. Looking over the plaza is a sculptural monument dedicated to Francisco de Goya, the city’s most famous painter. The whole monument consists of a simple cylindricalcenotaph of the painter himself with stone tablets alluding to both him and his daughter-in-law's family.
On the western side, you’ll find the Fountain of Hispanidad. This consists of a ramp with water flowing down it and a pond, which together, from above, take the shape of Latin America. A further three marble blocks represent Columbus’ ships.
As well as the Basílica del Pilar, there are other buildings which embellish and enhance this wonderful plaza. These include the Cathedral of El Salvador , La Seo which rises up on the eastern side of the plaza, The Lonja de Mercaderes , a Renaissance-style building built from brick with similar architecture to the palaces.
The town hall was built in the second half of the 20 th century in keeping with the style and materials of the rest of the buildings. The two sculptures on either side of the main entrance will particularly grab your attention. They’re the work of Aragonese sculptor Pablo Serrano and represent Saint Valerius (the city’s patron saint) and a guardian angel.
In the small square behind the Fountain of Hispanidad, you’ll find the church of San Juan de los Panetes, with its distinctive leaning tower. With the plaza’s overall sense of harmony and the slenderness of the buildings surrounding it, it’s no surprise that the square is known as “the living room of the city”.
Latin Bridge (Latinska ćuprija) - Ottoman bridge over the river Miljacka in Sarajevo, and where the pink building stands is the site of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria by Gavrilo Princip in 1914, which was the starting point of World War I.

Suvereto is a medieval town considered among the most beautiful villages in Italy. First attested in 973 and derives from the Latin Suber (cork) for its cork woods. Famous for the high quality of its oil, its wines and its characteristic festive events
As my November trip is coming up (natural disasters permitting of course), I thought I could share a photo from my last year's November trip, which was the last one I did packing my old Nikon. I have been to Ireland before, many years ago, but it was just Dublin. This time I decided to stay a few more days there and do some day trips to explore the countryland. Well worth it I will say. Galway is a beautiful city, full of vibe especially during the holiday season. Parking was a bit of a nightmare, however once I started walking Quay street towards Eyre square I instantly felt that festive vibe. Maybe it was a little too crowded for me to enjoy photographing the Latin Quarter. That didnt matter much though. Food was excellent, lots of little stores to browse and buy souvenirs etc and bars to enjoy a few pints of Irish stout.

It was the first time I met a car with Latin winged expressions. As you can see, the credo of the owner is "Per aspera ad astra" ("Through thorns to the stars"), and the car itself, apparently, is "Alter Ego"😎
The term "Latin Quarter" originates from Paris and refers to the arrondissement where the university was located, with instruction delivered in Latin. The Montreal usage of this expression dates back to 1876, when a branch of Laval University, the precursor to the University of Montreal, settled in this area.
Le terme "Quartier latin" est d'origine parisienne et désigne l'arrondissement où s'élevait l'université, dont l'enseignement était dispensé en latin. L'usage montréalais de cette expression remonte à 1876 lorsqu'une filiale de l'Université Laval, l'ancêtre de l'Université de Montréal vient s'installer dans ce secteur.

TRA ETNIA ARTE E FOLKLORE.
Il Quartiere Latino è il centro tradizionale di Parigi dei grandi pensatori. Molti dei più importanti artisti, filosofi e scrittori hanno vissuto in questo quartiere nel corso della storia, frequentando l’Università della Sorbona o uno dei leggendari caffè della zona. Il Quartiere Latino conserva l’atmosfera nostalgica degli anni passati, e nel frattempo è ancora un importante centro educativo e fabbrica di idee dei nostri giorni. Oltre a questo è anche una lussureggiante e pittoresca area di Parigi, con molte tranquille piazze e giardini come i Giardini del Lussemburgo o i Jardin Des Plantes e vibranti mercati all’ aperto.
Lungo il Boulevard St-Michel, epicentro del Quartiere Latino, pullulano negozi folcloristici, fast food, negozi economici, teatri e cinema.

Tropical flowers in Villa Escudero , Philippines
Latin name: Caesalpinia pulcherrima
Dutch name: Pauwenbloem
English name (just one of them) : Peacock flower
Also known as: poinciana , red bird of paradise , Mexican bird of paradise, dwarf poinciana, pride of Barbados, and flamboyant-de-jardin.
It is also the national flower of Barbados.
As you might have read in our story abour Villa Escudero, it's a plantation as well. So it does have a wide range of beautiful , tropical , flowers to photograph.
Here's just one of them. For tactical reasons I'm keeping the rest for the winter time, because spring is here and now many people are uploading flower shots. Also I'm using this floral intermezzo as a chapter break for the next chapter of our Villa Escudero serie.

I flew this airline from Santiago to Lima. I couldn't figure out whether its namesake was a salsa band or a plate of spicy chicken parts...
Óbidos es una vila portuguesa perteneciente a la comunidad intermunicipal de Oeste y región Centro . El nombre de Óbidos deriva del latín oppidum y significa «ciudadela», «ciudad fortificada». En sus proximidades se encuentra la población romana de Eburobrittium.
En todo el conjunto urbano aún se puede vivir el carácter medieval de esta villa. Toda ella está cercada por altas murallas y tiene una estructura urbana delimitada a partir de la alcazaba, las entradas y la plaza de armas.
Se trata de una ciudadela fortificada. De hecho, se cree que Óbidos fue un castro celtíbero que fue ampliando su perímetro con el paso del tiempo. Algunos arqueólogos apuntan incluso a una posible presencia de los fenicios en la zona.
Lo cierto es que este pequeño municipio esconde un magnífico castillo y algunos de los rincones más auténticos del medievo portugués en forma de callejuelas adoquinadas y viejos muros de piedra en los que celtíberos, romanos, visigodos y árabes dejaron su impronta.
Tradicionalmente, Óbidos ha sido conocida como la «Vila Das Rainhas» («villa de las reinas»), ya que desde el siglo XIII esta aldea era ofrecida por los monarcas portugueses a sus esposas a modo de regalo de boda. Esta tradición comenzó con el rey Don Dinis y perduró hasta comienzos del siglo XIX, cuando la villa dejó definitivamente de ser patrimonio de la Casa de la Reina.
Óbidos está declarada Patrimonio Nacional y todos los años celebra, entre julio y agosto, un mercado medieval .
Además, Óbidos es famosa por su ginjinha y por su chocolate. Este último es el protagonista del Festival del Chocolate que se celebra en enero.
Locución latina que significa "en palabra de nadie", se interpreta también como "mira por ti mismo", llamando a buscar la verdad con experimentos, más allá de las presiones políticas, sociales, religiosas u otras.
