Masonic Temple is a term commonly used in Freemasonry with multiple but related meanings. It is used to describe an abstract spiritual goal, the conceptual ritualistic space formed when a Masonic Lodge meets, and the physical rooms and structures in which a Lodge meets. When used to describe a structure the term is interchangeable with the term Masonic Hall.
Handheld night panorama.
Just happened on this by chance and took a series of panoramas from different vantage points around the Plaza. This was by far the best, just wish I had a tripod with me at the time and another 20m or so.
If you look hard enough you might see my son hiding in the image somewhere with his black backpack on. By some miracle, I managed to avoid any of the other bystanders in the final composition.
El interior de la iglesia se inició en virtud de un plano clásico adquiriendo elementos barrocos durante su largo proceso de construcción que se terminó en el siglo XVIII. Así, el trabajo no se completó de acuerdo con el plano original, a pesar de que era muy respetado, así en 1708 estaba siendo tallado el abovedamento en el crucero y en 1731 la construcción de la sacristía. Incluso en el año 1743 el Padre Sarmiento dijo que la iglesia todavía estaba abierta.
Se configura en una gran nave cubierta con bóvedas de cañón y bóvedas de crucería. En ella se abren tres pequeñas capillas con arcos de medio punto y sobre ellos una serie de balcones.
La capilla mayor se adorna con el retablo mayor, trabajo realizado en el año 1735, y se divide en columnas salomónicas. Muestra imágenes de santos mercedarios del convento de Madrid, junto con imágenes de la Virgen de la Merced, patrona de la orden, y San Juan Bautista, patrono del convento. El antiguo retablo encargado a Bernardo Cabrera en 1631 fue aprovechado en parte para el retablo de la capilla de Cristo (antigua sacristía) en la que se alberga la tumba suevo-visigoda de Santa Trahamunda.
Mespelbrunn Castle is a late-medieval/early-Renaissance moated castle on the territory of the town of Mespelbrunn, between Frankfurt and Würzburg, built in a tributary valley of the Elsava valley, within the Spessart forest. It is a popular tourist attraction and has become a famous Spessart landmark.
The first precursor of Mespelbrunn Castle was a simple house. The owner was Hamann Echter, vizedom of Aschaffenburg, a title which means that he was the representative of the ruling prince, the Archbishop of Mainz Johann von Nassau-Wiesbaden-Idstein (de) at the castle and town of Aschaffenburg. On 1 May 1412, Johann gave the site, a forest clearing next to a pond, to Echter, a knight, who constructed a house without fortifications. It was a reward for Echter's services against the Czechs. The Echter family (de) originates from the Odenwald region. Their name presumably means "der die Acht vollstreckt", the executor of the ostracism. In the 15th century the Spessart was a wild and unexploited virgin forest, used as a hideout by bandits and Hussites, who despoiled the regions nearby. Therefore, in 1427 Hamann Echter, the son of the first owner, began to rebuild his father's house to a fortified castle with walls, towers, and a moat using the nearby lake.
In 1957, Mespelbrunn Castle was one of the locations of the German film Das Wirtshaus im Spessart (The Spessart Inn, 1958), based on the novella by Wilhelm Hauff.

Cosy looking shop, i've never been in but it looks good at night.
I'm trying to build up my confidence using tripods in public. This was taken during rush hour, I waited ages to get a big enough gap in traffic to take a 5 second exposure. Shame about the overbearing cash machine.
