Para otro día lo pondré desde la otra orilla.

For some reason I'm averse to uploading interior photos, even more so than taking them, I don't know why, I have such a backlog of them especially from Andalusia and St, Petersburg Hermitage museum.
One of the most beautiful cities in Tuscany is in the province of Siena - San Gimignano. This is mainly due to its historic, medieval town center, which was recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1990 and has most of the region's gender towers. That is why San Gimignano is also called the "City of Towers" or "Medieval Manhattan".

El pasado histórico de Rennes queda reflejado en estos edificios de época medieval, con armazón de madera vista y tejados de pizarra. Muchos de ellos desaparecieron en el incendio que asoló la ciudad a principios del s. XVIII, pero aún se conserva un barrio medieval cuidadosamente restaurado.

Used since the 12th century, it was used by fishermen and small-medium sized commercial vessels. It was enlarged and strengthened by Jacopo III Appiani in 1470, the year in which the breakwater was built. Jacopo III's 15th century works were mainly aimed at anchoring his own galley, as well as other small court vessels, given the proximity of his residence to the Citadel. This inevitably led to a reduction in the anchorages of many vessels used for fishing and commercial traffic.
Caernarfon Castle in Wales was finished 720 years ago!
This is the original building. Guess they didn't use much MDF then.
Happy Fence Friday.

Out next destination - the ruins of castle in Monolithos (seen from the road) :)
Monolithos is a Greek village on the island of Rhodes. The name of the settlement comes from the word "monos lithos", which means a lonely rock and that rises 3 km west of the village. The most tourist attraction in Monolithos is the medieval castle, built on top of a 100m rock. This castle was built in 1480 by the Knights of Saint John to protect the island from attacks. In fact, this castle was never conquered. The Castle of Monolithos is widely ruined today but it offers great views of the sea and the two islets opposite to it. Inside the Castle, there is a small working chapel dedicated to Agios Panteleimon (Saint Pantaleon). Access to the castle is by a staircase cut into the rock. From the ruins of the castle there is a beautiful view of the sea, mountains and islands.

Widok z drogi na cel naszej kolejnej wycieczki - ruiny zamku w Monolithos :)
Monolithos – miejscowość w Grecji, na wyspie Rodos. Nazwa osady pochodzi od słowa "monos lithos", co oznacza samotną skałę, która wznosi się 3 km na zachód od miejscowości. Największą atrakcją Monolithos stanowią ruiny zamku joannitów wznoszącego się na samotnej skale. Górują na wysokości 240 m n.p.m. nad zatokami Kerameni oraz Aliki. Miejsce to już w V wieku pełniło funkcję obserwacyjne i ostrzegawcze przed najazdem wroga. W 1480 roku kawalerowie rodyjscy na rozkaz Wielkiego Mistrza Piotra z Abusson wybudowali zamek. W czasach joannitów miejscowa ludność mogła tutaj liczyć na schronienie. Niestety do dnia dzisiejszego przetrwały jedynie monumentalne mury twierdzy oraz niewielka kaplica Agios Pantelimon. Z ruin zamku rozciąga się przepiękna panorama na morze, pobliskie góry oraz wyspy.
