The Basilica di Santa Maria in Ara coeli al Campidoglio is a titular basilica in Rome, located on the highest summit of the Campidoglio. It is still the designated Church of the city council of Rome, which uses the ancient title of Senatus Populusque Romanus. The present Cardinal Priest of the Titulus Sanctae Mariae de Aracoeli is Salvatore De Giorgi.
The shrine is known for housing relics belonging to Saint Helena, mother of Emperor Constantine, various minor relics from the Holy Sepulchre, both the canonically crowned images of Nostra Signora di Mano di Oro di Aracoeli (1636) on the high altar and the Santo Bambino of Aracoeli (1897).
Originally the church was named Sancta Maria in Capitolio, since it was sited on the Capitoline Hill (Campidoglio, in Italian) of Ancient Rome; by the 14th century it had been renamed. A medieval legend included in the mid-12th-century guide to Rome, Mirabilia Urbis Romae, claimed that the church was built over an Augustan Ara primogeniti Dei, in the place where the Tiburtine Sibyl prophesied to Augustus the coming of the Christ. "For this reason the figures of Augustus and of the Tiburtine sibyl are painted on either side of the arch above the high altar". A later legend substituted an apparition of the Virgin Mary.
In The History of Money, anthropologist Jack Weatherford goes into some detail about the church's previous incarnation as the temple of Juno Moneta—on the Arx—after whom Money is named.
According to Roman historians, in the fourth century B.C., the irritated honking of the sacred geese around Juno's temple on Capitoline Hill warned the people of an impending night attack by the Gauls, who were secretly scaling the walls of the citadel. From this event, the goddess acquired [the] surname-Juno Moneta, from Latin monere (to warn). . .As patroness of the state, Juno Moneta presided over various activities of the state, including the primary activity of issuing money.
. . . from Moneta came the modem English words mint and money and, ultimately, from the Latin word meaning warning.
Today, the site of the Temple of Juno Moneta, the source of the great stream of Roman currency, has given way to the ancient . . . brick church of Santa Maria in Aracoeli. Centuries ago, church architects incorporated the ruins of the ancient temple into the new building.
The church is also thought to have replaced the auguraculum, the seat of the augurs.
The foundation of the church was laid on the site of a Byzantine abbey mentioned in 574. Many buildings were built around the first church; in the upper part they gave rise to a cloister, while on the slopes of the hill a little quarter and a market grew up. Remains of these buildings - such as the little church of San Biagio de Mercato and the underlying "Insula Romana") - were discovered in the 1930s. At first the church followed the Greek rite, a sign of the power of the Byzantine exarch. Taken over by the papacy by the 9th century, the church was given first to the Benedictines, then, by papal bull to the Franciscans in 1249–1250; under the Franciscans it received its Romanesque-Gothic aspect. The arches that divide the nave from the aisles are supported on columns, no two precisely alike, scavenged from Roman ruins.
During the Middle Ages, this church became the centre of the religious and civil life of the city. in particular during the republican experience of the 14th century, when self-proclaimed Tribune and reviver of the Roman Republic Cola di Rienzo inaugurated the monumental stairway of 124 steps in front of the church, designed in 1348 by Simone Andreozzi, on the occasion of the Black Death. Condemned criminals were executed at the foot of the steps; there Cola di Rienzo met his death, near the spot where his statue commemorates him.
In 1571, Santa Maria in Aracoeli hosted the celebrations honoring Marcantonio Colonna after the victorious Battle of Lepanto over the Turkish fleet. Marking this occasion, the compartmented ceiling was gilded and painted (finished 1575), to thank the Blessed Virgin for the victory. In 1797, with the Roman Republic, the basilica was deconsecrated and turned into a stable.

Arequipa is the capital and largest city of the Arequipa Region and the seat of the Constitutional Court of Peru. It is Peru's second most populous city with 861.145 inhabitants.
Arequipa is the second most industrialized and commercialized city in Peru. Its industrial activity includes manufactured goods and camelid wool products for export. The city has close trade ties with Chile, Bolivia and Brazil.
The city was founded on 15 August 1540, by Garcí Manuel de Carbajal as "Villa Hermosa de Nuestra Señora de la Asunción". During the Colonial period, Arequipa became highly important for its economic prosperity and for its loyalty to the Spanish Crown.
After Peru gained its independence from Spain in 1821, Arequipa acquired greater political significance, and was declared the capital city of Peru from 1835 to 1883.
The historic center of Arequipa spans an area of 332 hectares and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Its historic heritage, natural scenery and cultural sites make the city a major tourist destination. Its religious, colonial, and republican architectural styles blend European and native characteristics into a unique style called "Escuela Arequipeña".

Eretta alla metà del secolo XII, sorge in un'area che fu un castrum romano che ha dato il nome alla chiesa e alla diocesi di cui fu cattedrale nel Medioevo. Costruita con cantoni ben squadrati di pietra vulcanica rossa, parrebbe contemporanea della chiesa di Nostra Signora del Regno di Ardara, della quale rispecchia lo stile romanico-lombardo. L’area dell’ex cattedrale è racchiusa in un recinto costituito da cumbessias (alloggi per i pellegrini) e da un edificio a due piani, dove vengono allestite mostre temporanee sulla storia del santuario e sul sito archeologico.
Cattedrale di San Patrizio.

Regno Unito, Northumberland, Bamburgh Castle, Inverno 2017
Il castello di Bamburgh si trova a Bamburgh, sulle coste del Northumberland, in Inghilterra. La posizione era probibilmente la sede di un precedente forte dei Britanni. I Normanni costruirono un nuovo castello sul sito, che costituisce il nucleo di quella attuale. Nel 1464 durante la Guerra delle Rose, è diventato il primo castello in Inghilterra per essere sconfitto dall’artiglieria. Il castello è stato utilizzato come location cinematografica dagli anni ‘20, in film come Ivanhoe (1982), El Cid (1961), Maria Stuarda (1971), Elizabeth (1998) e per gli adattamenti del Macbeth del 1971 e 2015.
C'è un famoso racconto qui, la signora in rosa del castello di Bamburgh. Questa era una principessa della Northumbria e si innamorò di un ragazzo, che suo padre disapprovava a tal punto da spedirlo all'estero per sette anni.
La ragazza era sempre più disperata per questa lontananza e suo padre, in un ultimo tentativo di risolvere il problema, le disse che le sue spie avevano scoperto che il ragazzo si era sposato, mentre di stanza all'estero. Per tirarle su il morale dopo questa notizia fece confezionare alla sarta del castello un abito in colore preferito della ragazza; rosa. La ragazza vestita nella sua nuova veste, salì allora sulla parte più alta del merli del castello e si gettò giù sulle rocce sottostanti. Poco dopo il ragazzo tornò dall'estero, celibe, naturalmente. Ogni sette anni, si suppone che lo spettro, nel suo bel vestito rosa vaghi per le parti più antiche del castello, prima di scivolare lungo il sentiero roccioso fino alla spiaggia, dove si guarda tristemente verso il mare, in attesa del ritorno del suo amore perduto.
Bamburgh Castle is located on the coast at Bamburgh, Northumberland, England. The location was previously home to a fort of the native Britons
The Normans built a new castle on the site, which forms the core of the present one. In 1464 during the Wars of the Roses, it became the first castle in England to be defeated by artillery. The castle has been used as a film location since the 1920s, featuring in films such as Ivanhoe (1982), El Cid (1961), Mary, Queen of Scots (1971), Elizabeth (1998) and both the 1971 and 2015 adaptions of Macbeth.
There is a famous tale here, the Pink Lady of Bamburgh Castle. She was a Northumbrian princess and she fell in love with a boy, whom her father disapproved of so sent him overseas for seven years.
The girl became more and more downhearted at this separation and in a final attempt to resolve the issue, her father told her that his spies had discovered that the boy had married someone else whilst stationed abroad and that, to cheer her up after this news, the castle seamstress would fashion a dress in the girl’s favourite colour; pink. The girl dressed in her new garment, climbed to the highest part of the castle’s battlements and flung herself down onto the rocks below.
A little while later the boy returned from his station abroad. Unmarried, of course.
Every seven years the process, in her beautiful pink gown is supposed to wander the oldest parts of the castle, before gliding down the rocky path to the beach, where she mournfully gazes out to sea. Awaiting the return of her lost love.
