San Pedro Tlaquepaque, Jal
Según documentos de la Nueva España la primera piedra se puso en 1741 en una ceremonia con el nombre de Nuestra Señora de los Dolores (que posteriormente se cambio al de “Nuestra Señora de la Soledad). No fue terminada hasta 1878 (!!) por problemas presupuestales, con el apoyo de Fray Luis Argüello.
Según un documento el pontífice Pío IX en agradecimiento concede indulgencias a todos los fieles que apoyaron en la obra, durante 7 años, a condición que sigan asistiendo al Santuario para ir a misa a este templo, decretado el 29 de Julio de 1873.
Su arquitectura es una mezcla de Barroco, Neoclásico y Neogótico.

The first stone was laid in 1741 during colonial times in a ceremony with the name of Nuestra Señora de los Dolores (which was later changed to "Nuestra Señora de la Soledad"). It was not finished until 1878 (!!) (Mexico was already independent from Spain) due to budget problems, with the support of Fray Luis Argüello.
The Pope Pius IX in gratitude, grants indulgences for 7 years to all the faithful who supported the work, on the condition that they continue to attend the Sanctuary, decreed on July 29, 1873.
Its architecture is echlectic, a mixture of Baroque, Neoclassical and Neogothic.

This is a high dynamic range shot of the façade of the Courthouse in Patras, Greece. Corinthian order capitals (aka chapiters) crown both pillars and pilasters surrounding the grandiose entrance.
The neoclassical edifice was erected in 1926–31 (architect: Panos D. Karathanassopoulos). In June 2008 an earthquake had damaged the building which stands now restored thanks to major repairs and maintenance works cartied out in 2011–18. It is defined by its large size and neoclassical elements such as symmetry, gables, pillars and pilasters crowned by capitals (chapiters) belonging to Corinthian and Ionic order.

The sober Neoclassical main wing from 1766 stands in washed, yellow brick. The architect is not known but may have been Philip de Lange.
Originally, the red hip roof also covered the three-bay median risalits, found on both sides of the main wing, which received their triangular pediment in connection with a major renovation in 1703.
The former Latvian Craftsmen's Aid Society Savings and Loan House was built in 1911, according to the project of architect Jānis Alksnis. In the 1920s, 1930s, the house was home to the second President of the Republic of Latvia Gustavs Zemgals (*1871-†1939). From 1919 to 1923, the end of his life, the house was the home of Krišjānis Barons, the compiler of Latvian folk songs (he was staying in the apartment of his son, Dr. med. Kārlis Barons; in 1985 the Krišjānis Barons Memorial Museum was opened there).

The Frontenac County Court House in Kingston, Ontario, Canada is the Courthouse for Frontenac County, Ontario. The Neoclassical building was designed by Edward Horsey and constructed by builders Scobell and Tossell.[1] Alternation after 1874 fire by John Power added the dome tower. It overlooks City Park to its south, and Lake Ontario beyond. The front of the structure features the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom.
The building was constructed between 1855 and 1858 as a judicial and administrative complex with a jail in the rear. In 1980 it was designated a National Historic Site of Canada

Madrid in the late 18th century still looked like a somewhat drab borough, surrounded by medieval walls. Around the year 1774, king Charles III commissioned Francesco Sabatini to construct a monumental gate in the city wall through which an expanded road to the city of Alcalá was to pass, replacing an older, smaller, gate that stood nearby. It was inaugurated in 1778.
A popular song is dedicated to the Puerta de Alcalá, sung by Ana Belén and Victor Manuel.
Schloss Wilhelmshöhe is a Neoclassical palace located in Bad Wilhelmshöhe, a part of Kassel, Germany. It was built for Landgrave Wilhelm IX of Hesse in the late 18th century. Emperor Wilhelm II made extensive use of it as a summer residence and personal retreat.
Today, the palace houses the art gallery Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister, part of Museumslandschaft Hessen Kassel. Since 2013, Schloss Wilhelmshöhe has been part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe.
La Tumba de Dante (en italiano: Sepolcro di Dante) es un monumento nacional italiano de estilo neoclásico construido en 1781 sobre la tumba del histórico poeta Dante Alighieri (1265-1321). Está situado junto a la Basílica de San Francesco, en el centro de la ciudad de Rávena.
El monumento está rodeado por el área denominada "zona dantesca", en la que los visitantes deben permanecer en silencio y mostrar respeto. Junto al monumento se encuentra un pequeño jardín, históricamente conocido como Quadrarco di Braccioforte, el cual tuvo su origen en el claustro monástico. Esta área también incluye los claustros franciscanos, el complejo de museos y la Casa Dante.
En su lecho de muerte, Dante Alighieri expresó su deseo de ser vestido con el hábito franciscano. Eligió como lugar de sepultura el convento de los Frailes Menores, establecido en Rávena en 1261. Los solemnes funerales se celebraron en la iglesia de este convento, y el poeta fue originalmente enterrado en el cementerio adyacente al mismo. Este lugar es conocido como el Quadrarco di Braccioforte, (en español: "Cuadrarco del Brazo Fuerte"), puesto que el lugar es conocido por ser el emplazamiento en el que dos personas hicieron un acuerdo importante y, para garantizar su cumplimiento, invocaron al "brazo fuerte" de Cristo como símbolo de justicia y autoridad. En ese mismo lugar, había una imagen pintada del brazo de Cristo, lo que dio origen al nombre de este lugar.
Por otro lado, la familia Da Polenta, una influyente dinastía de Rávena, tenía una pequeña celda, dentro de la cual se colocó el sarcófago que contenía los restos de Dante Alighieri después de su muerte, lo que muestra el papel destacado de la familia en la protección y custodia de los restos del Sumo poeta.
En 1441, tras la expulsión de la familia Da Polenta por la República de Venecia, la celda que albergaba los restos de Dante quedó en estado de abandono. En 1483, el podestà veneciano Bernardo Bembo emprendió la restauración y ampliación de la tumba a sus expensas. Encargó el trabajo al escultor Pietro Lombardo, quien contó con la colaboración de sus hijos para la ejecución de la obra. Cabe mencionar que, sobre el sarcófago, Lombardo esculpió un conocido bajorrelieve que representa a Dante pensativo frente a un atril.
En 1778, cuando Luigi Valenti Gonzaga asumió el cargo de legado pontificio en Rávena, el cardenal tomó la decisión de promover la construcción de un nuevo sacello, un pequeño edificio religioso destinado al culto. Para llevar a cabo este proyecto, confió la tarea al reconocido arquitecto de Rávena, Camillo Morigia, conocido por su talento y creatividad en el diseño de espacios arquitectónicos.
Construida entre 1780 y 1781 sobre una estructura anterior del siglo XV, la tumba tiene una planta cuadrada y está diseñada en forma de un pequeño templo neoclásico coronado por una pequeña cúpula, rematada con una piña. Separada de la calle por una estrecha delimitación, su fachada exterior es muy sencilla. Incluye una puerta sobre la que se encuentra el escudo arzobispal del Cardenal Gonzaga, y en cuyo arquitrabe se lee, de manera simple y en latín: Dantis poetae sepulcrum ("Tumba del poeta Dante")
Destacan dos elementos decorativos: una serpiente que se muerde la cola (Uróboros), símbolo de la eternidad de la fama del Poeta, y el escudo del cardenal Gonzaga. Las hojas de la puerta de acceso están hechas de madera.
A la derecha del monumento funerario se encuentra un pequeño jardín que incluye, entre otros elementos, el Quadrarco di Braccioforte. Desde 1921, este jardín está cerrado con una reja de hierro forjado diseñada por el artista veneciano Umberto Bellotto.

The Tomb of Dante (Italian: Sepolcro di Dante) is an Italian neoclassical national monument built over the tomb of the poet Dante Alighieri (1265-1321) in 1781. It is sited next to the Basilica of San Francesco in central Ravenna.
The monument is surrounded by a "zona dantesca", in which visitors have to remain silent and respectful. The small garden to the monument's right originated as the monastic cloister but now only has a colonnade on one side. The garden is traditionally named after the Quadrarco di Braccioforte, where two people invoked the "strong arm" of Christ to guarantee their contract and therefore had the image of that arm painted on the arch.
Dante spent his final years in exile in Ravenna and died there in 1321. The day after his death his funeral was held in the cloister of the basilica, then a Franciscan monastery, the Church of San Pier Maggiore, later called Basilica di San Francesco. He was then buried outside the cloister by the roadside in an ancient Roman sarcophagus, in which he still rests.
The sarcophagus was moved to the west side of the cloister by Bernardo Bembo, Venetian podestà of Ravenna, at the end of the 15th century.
A few years later Dante's hometown of Florence began making requests to have his remains returned. This had the support of two Medici popes, Pope Leo X and Pope Clement VII. The first request was supported by Michelangelo and in 1519 Leo granted Florence permission to move the sarcophagus there, but the Franciscans had enough time to make a hole in the wall and secretly move Dante's bones there. A Tuscan delegation duly arrived but found the sarcophagus empty. It was moved into the cloister and kept under guard.
Meanwhile the bones were put in a new box in 1677 by Antonio Sarti, prior of the monastery. The sarcophagus was restored under armed guard in 1692. The bones were put back in their original sarcophagus in 1781, the same year as the monument was completed, having been commissioned from the local architect Camillo Morigia by Luigi Valenti Gonzaga, the cardinal legate in Romagna. Square in plan and with a small cupola and dome, it covers the sarcophagus. Its interior is covered in marble and stucco. Morigia planned to have images of Virgil, Brunetto Latini, Cangrande della Scala and Guido Novello da Polenta in the pendentives of the dome's interior vault, but this plan was abandoned.
Behind the sarcophagus is a 1483 bas-relief by Pietro Lombardo, which also stood in this position for most of the 15th century, showing Dante reading at a lectern. From the ceiling hangs an 18th century votive lamp, continually kept burning with olive oil from the Tuscan hills donated by Florence every 14 September, the anniversary of Dante's death. The monument's facade to the street is very simple, with a gate surmounted by Cardinal Gonzaga's archiepiscopal coat of arms and the simple inscription "DANTIS POETAE SEPULCRUM" ("tomb of Dante the poet"). The friars hid the bones in the 1677 box again in 1810 during the French occupation to prevent them being confiscated. They hid the box under an old doorway between the Basilica of San Francesco and the Braccioforte Chapel before leaving the city. Florence had not given up hope of having the remains removed from Ravenna, however, and in 1829 the city erected a cenotaph in Santa Croce Basilica, showing the poet seated in thought and a personification of Poetry weeping over the sarcophagus.
The box's location was forgotten until 27 May 1865, when it was found by a worker carrying out restoration work for the 600th anniversary of Dante's birth. A young student and later a respected notary, Matteucci Anastasio, noticed the words "OSSA DANTIS" (Dante's bones) on the box and saved it from being thrown into a common grave. (The full inscription stated: "Dantis ossa a me Frate Antonio Santi hic posita 1677, die 18 Octobris", written by Friar Santi.)
The almost complete skeleton of bones were rearticulated and put on display to the public in a crystal coffin for a few months before being reburied under the monument in a walnut chest protected by a lead cover. It remains in place and has never been returned to Florence.
In 1921 a bronze garland was added to the foot of the sarcophagus in memory of the dead of World War I, as well as a marble plaque to its right describing the various restorations of the tomb and an iron gate to the neighbouring garden, designed by the Venetian artist Umberto Bellotto. The bones were hidden yet again during World War II to prevent them being destroyed by bombing. They were buried in the garden from March 1944 to 19 December 1945 until they were returned to the monument, now marked with a plaque. The monument was restored in 2006–2007, including a complete repainting of its facades.
A 1783 Neoclassical reconstruction building on older iterations, this is the Roman Catholic cathedral of Vilnius. It survived the Soviet occupation more or less intact, aside from the colossal statues on the roof; these are reconstructions. The Soviets used it as a warehouse and kept threatening to demolish it, but the Lithuanians found a politically correct use for it: a museum of religion.
The massive belfry, meanwhile, is much older. During a 1522 renovation, upper stories were added onto an existing defensive tower (part of the nearby castle complex) to create the current structure.
Architect Nikolai Yakovlev (1879-1956). The towers at the corners of the neoclassical buildings of the time are no longer the pseudo-Gothic spires or the voluminous domes of the neo-Baroque style, but round belvederes under domes reminiscent of the work of Renaissance architects. The architectural character of the house is expressed in its upward orientation; the rigidity of the rhythmically divided facades of the window rows. The façade is almost devoid of brick or sculptural ornamentation, with a few Classical wreaths or leaf garlands and relatively modest ornament.

The Neoclassical revival, Corinthian style building was designed by architect Richard K.A. Kletting, and built between 1912 and 1916. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. Beginning in 2004, the capitol underwent a major restoration and renovation project. The project added two new buildings to the complex, while restoring many of the capitol's public spaces to their original appearance. One of the largest projects during the renovation was the addition of a base isolation system which will allow the building to survive as much as a 7.3 magnitude earthquake. After completion of the renovations, the building was rededicated and resumed normal operation in January 2008.

The building, originally the site of a Tudor palace, was designed by Sir William Chambers in 1776, and further extended with Victorian wings to the east and west in 1831 and 1856 respectively.
The East Wing forms part of the adjacent Strand campus of King's College London.
Staszic Palace is an edifice at ulica Nowy Świat 72, Warsaw, Poland. It is the seat of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Wikipedia
The history of the Staszic Palace dates from 1620, when King Sigismund III of Poland ordered the construction of a small Eastern Orthodox chapel, as an appropriate burial place for the former Tsar Vasili IV of Russia and his brother, Dmitry Shuisky, who had died in Polish custody after having been captured several years earlier during the Polish-Muscovite War of 1605-18.
As the Polish capital's population was mostly Catholic, Protestant or Jewish, there was little call for an Orthodox chapel, and in 1668 another Polish king, John II Casimir, transferred the chapel to the Dominican Order, who were caretakers of the building until 1808.
The palace was damaged during the 1939 siege of Warsaw and nearly razed during the 1944 Warsaw Uprising. In 1946–50 it was rebuilt in its original neoclassical form. Today it is the seat of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
Magnificent, 4-storey neoclassical style villa, probably built in the early/mid 1700's on a former small castle. The villa has been rebuilt twice, mainly the facade area. An imposing avenue once led to the castle, lined with tall, old trees. Unfortunately, the trees had to be felled in the 1990s and the avenue disappeared. The building was surrounded by beautifully landscaped English-style gardens, to the rear of the house was a lily pond and a small river where regattas were held with guests from the nobility and royalty. Today the garden has grown wild, the former beauty can only be guessed at. Over the centuries, the castle has had a variety of owners, influential families, nobles, engineers, lawyers and artists. At the end of the 1930's the property was sold again, the new owner had the castle restored by painters, plasterers and gardeners and lived there until the late 1950's. The property has since been owned by a company and has fallen into disrepair.
