Piazza dei Miracoli (English: Square of Miracles), formally known as Piazza del Duomo (English: Cathedral Square), is a walled 8.87-hectare area located in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy, recognized as an important centre of European medieval art and one of the finest architectural complexes in the world. The Baptistry is in the foreground, the Duomo Cathedral in the center, and the Campanile, or the Leaning Tower of Pisa, in the background. The structures were built between the 12th and 14th centuries. There are 296 winding steps leading to the top of the tower and I climbed all of them. Couldn't do it now, I'm sure. Digitized slide.
The original castle at Farleigh Hungerford was laid out on a rectangular design with round towers on each corner being built between 1377 and 1383 by adapting the existing manor complex on high ground overlooking the head of the River Frome by Sir Thomas Hungerford. Sir Thomas’s son, Sir Walter Hungerford, a knight and leading courtier to Henry V, became rich during the Hundred Years War with France and extended the castle with an additional, outer court, seen here, enclosing the parish church in the process.

One of the most famous town squares in Italy, this sloping piazza dates to medieval times (it was paved in 1349, but the open place itself is older than that). The very tall, very thing tower is Torre del Mangia (built 1338-1348), rising some 102 metres. It is next to the Palazzo Pubblico (to the far right in this picture) - it's the town hall and work on it was begun in 1297. Siena was at the time a republic and the palazzo was home to the local government.
This unusually prominent flavour of medieval architecture, with not much striking Renaissance architecture which usually can be found in most Italian cities, has to do with the fact that when all this was close to being finished, in 1348, the Black Death hit the town and half of its population died. Siena had been a very prosperous place up until then, but it never really recovered after that.
Much of the city's medieval architecture remains intact and is remarkably well preserved and restored.
Though it was bad weather conditions yesterday, it was a real pleasure to walk in the small streets lit by festive holiday lights.
Close your eyes for a moment and picture a walled medieval village, with no modern buildings, completely unaffected by the passing of time. Now open and rejoice in the fact that a place like this still exists

Lichfield Cathedral, in Staffordshire, England, is a gothic cathedral built between 1195 and 1340. It's the only medieval English cathedral with three spires.
The building suffered severe damage during the English Civil War of 1642–1651, in which all of the stained glass was destroyed. In spite of this, the windows of the Lady Chapel contain some of the finest medieval Flemish painted glass in existence. Dating from the 1530s, it came from the Abbey of Herkenrode in Belgium, in 1801, having been purchased by Brooke Boothby when that abbey was dissolved during the Napoleonic Wars.
Fortifications Carcassonne is a medieval architectural-urbanist complex. On the hill where the fortifications of Carcassonne are now, there was a fortification before Roman rule (VI century BC).
At the end of the 3rd and beginning of the 4th century the settlement was strengthened by the construction of a long defensive wall of about 1200 m. Fortifications consisting of two lines of walls and a castle extend to a total length of 3 km.

Fortyfikacje Carcassonne to średniowieczny zespół architektoniczno-urbanistyczny. Na wzgórzu, gdzie teraz znajdują się fortyfikacje Carcassonne, jeszcze przed okresem panowania rzymskiego (VI wiek p.n.e) istniało grodzisko.
W końcu III i początku IV wieku osadę wzmocniono przez budowę muru obronnego długiego na około 1200 m. Fortyfikacje składające się z dwóch linii murów i zamku rozciągają się na całkowitą długość 3 km.
The Sacra di San Michele is an abbey founded in the 10th century on top of Mount Pirchiriano (Piedmont region, Italy). It’s a religious monument of incomparable beauty and value, and one of the most mysterious in Italy. This impressive medieval architectural complex inspired Italian writer Umberto Eco the setting of his internationally known novel: the Name of the Rose.

It was my first visit and I was very impressed by its beauty and historic importance and well-preserved medieval architecture.
Walking in Piran, Slovenia :)
Piran is a town in southwestern Slovenia on the Gulf of Piran on the Adriatic Sea. The town is known for its medieval architecture, with narrow streets and compact houses and it's one of Slovenia's major tourist attractions. Architecture of Piran resembles the Italian Venice, to which it belonged in the past, together with Istria. Most of the buildings, as well as the medieval walls separating the city from the rest of the mainland, also come from this period. In the middle of the town is the Tartini Square, with a monument in memory of Giuseppe Tartini. Nearby are located various important buildings, such as Tartini’s house, first mentioned in 1384 and one of the oldest in town, the Municipal Palace. The area of Piran has been inhabited since ancient times. The name of the town most probably originates from the Greek "pyros", meaning fire, due to ancient lighthouses which were supposed to be on the edge of the marina. From 1283 to 1797, the town became part of the Republic of Venice and then was annexed to the Austrian Empire. In 1954 The town was annexed to Yugoslavia.

Spacerujemy w Piranie (Słowenia) :)
Piran – miasto w Słowenii, siedziba gminy Piran, położone na skalistym cyplu, jest jednym z najatrakcyjniejszych turystycznie miejsc nad słoweńskim Adriatykiem, słynnym ze ze średniowiecznej architektury z wąskimi uliczkami i zwartą zabudową. Swą architekturą o przypomina włoską Wenecję, do której wraz z Istrią należało w przeszłości. Z tego okresu pochodzi też większość zabudowy, a także średniowieczne mury, oddzielające miasto od reszty lądu. Reprezentacyjny plac Tartiniego powstał pod koniec XIX wieku, po zasypaniu wewnętrznego basenu portowego (1894). Mieści się przy nim ratusz i budynek sądu oraz zachowana z obwarowań brama św. Jerzego. Obszar Piranu był zasiedlony od czasów antycznych, a nazwa miasta wywodzi się od greckiego "pyrá", oznaczającego ognisko, ponieważ na krańcu półwyspu zapalano ogień jako punkt orientacyjny dla statków płynących do portu Koper. W 1283 wraz z wybrzeżem Istrii Piran przeszedł pod władzę Republiki Weneckiej, zaś po upadku potęgi Wenecji (1797) Piran przeszedł pod panowanie Habsburgów, zaś w 1954r. znalazł się w granicach Jugosławii.
Plešivec is an ancient seat of the Bubek family. The Ákoš family, the ancestors of the Bubeks, received it from King Belo IV. in 1243, after the battle on the Slaná River, where the ancestor of the Bubeks, Detrik, allegedly saved the king’s life. After stabilizing his position in 1320, Dominik Bubek built a water castle in Plešivec. In its vicinity, he built a monumental church, which also served as a burial place for the representatives of the family. It was constructed on the site of an older church built by his ancestors. The church, originally nearly twice as long as it is now, was a two-nave Gothic building with a polygonal ending of the chancel, originally vaulted on the central pillars.
From 1349, we have a record of the request of Juraj Bubek to the Pope for the possibility of collecting the indulgences to finance its construction. In the middle of the 14th century, the interior of the church was completed with fresco paintings of very high quality, carried out by Italian masters. In the first quarter of the 15th century, the church was completed with the north-facing funeral chapel of the Bubeks, built according to the pattern of the Spiš funeral chapels. We enter into the chapel through an impressive portal, the architecture of which is associated with the works of the Cathedral of St. Elizabeth in Košice. In its interior, we find three three-part late Gothic windows with an original tracery in the ogive arch shape and corbels of the former vaults.
In 1558, at the time of the Turkish threat, the church was severely damaged, the vault collapsed and the building remained as a ruin until its reconstruction in 1617. By that time, the church was taken over by the reformed believers who reduced its layout to its current length of 19 meters; they covered the nave with a flat ceiling and closed the entrance to the unused chapel. At that stage, the entrance to the church was established from the south and three window openings were made on the south wall. From that period comes a valuable matroneum with painted decorations from 1627. In 1807, a bell-tower was built, a beautiful example of the so-called Gemer classicism.
Lucerne, a compact city in Switzerland known for its preserved medieval architecture, sits amid snowcapped mountains on Lake Lucerne. Its colorful Altstadt (Old Town) is bordered on the north by 870m Museggmauer (Musegg Wall), a 14-century rampart. The covered Kapellbrücke (Chapel Bridge), built in 1333, links the Aldstadt to the Reuss River's right bank.
Mane is a village in the Alpes de haute provence situated between Saint Michel L'Observatoire and Forcalquier.
The origins of the village lie in the 13th century although most of the larger buildings date from the 16th and 17th centuries.
The village has retained much of its medieval architecture and layout. This photo shows one of the many winding lanes in the village.
Many of the houses of the city look as though they have eyes peering from their roofs, these give the impression that the buildings never sleep.
Muchas de las casas de la ciudad parecen tener ojos que se asoman desde los tejados, lo que da la impresión de que los edificios nunca duermen.

City walls - former defensive fortifications erected around the city. The first fortifications were built in the 7th century. Today you can see fortifications from the turn of the 15th and 16th centuries. Only the 200-meter-long walls with seven gates have survived. The walls are of uneven height because they were built in different periods - this shows how the architecture of defense has changed. This is one of the best viewpoints on the Old Town and the sea.

Mury miejskie - dawne fortyfikacje obronne wzniesione wokół miasta. Pierwsze umocnienia zbudowano już w VII wieku. To, co można zobaczyć dzisiaj to fortyfikacje z przełomu XV i XVI wieku. Zachowały się jedynie mury o długości 200 metrów z siedmioma bramami. Mury mają nierówną wysokość, bo powstawały w różnych okresach – widać dzięki temu jak zmieniała się architektura obronna. To jeden z najlepszych punktów widokowych na położoną na cyplu starówkę.
The Manor Barn and the ruins are now all that remain of the once mighty Manor of Bexhill, arguably the most pivotal residence in the history of the Old Town, and indeed the larger resort town of Bexhill-on-Sea.
At it’s height, the Manor House included 7 Reception Rooms, 19 bedrooms, eight bathrooms, 2 cottages, a garage block and detached ballroom (the Manor Barn).
From more humble beginnings, the Manor House has stood in the centre of the Old Town for 900 years. Until its demolition in 1967, the building was the second oldest structure town after St Peter’s Church.
Cochem, is a picturesque location on the Moselle River. Its Castle, offers stunning views of the river and the surrounding vineyards.

After moving in with the luggage, we hurried out to see the city. It looked more than promising! Full of history and stories, adventures and faerie-tales. The taste of it melted in the mouth like the most delicious chocolate - of which the city abounded!

The Watchtower is another model for my medieval project Along Treacherous Road.
The Watchtower will be placed near The Old Warehouse and The Bridge. Guards on the watch will be overlooking the main road and the river keeping a keen eye on any suspicious activities in the area.
The model itself took more or less 3 months to design and build. The round shape is approximated by convex polygon with 16 sides which is enough to give the illusion of round cylinder. Probably the area around the doors and the roof itself took most of the time as they required several complete redesigns along the way.
