Warsaw's New Town is a neighbourhood dating from the 15th century. It lies just north of the Old Town and is connected to it by ulica Freta (English: Freta Street), which begins at the Barbican. Like the Old Town, the New Town was destroyed by the Nazis during World War II and rebuilt after the war.
The Fortified Town in Fredrikstad, Norway was founded Sept 1567 by King Frederik II. It is very well preserved and worth a visit.
The town hall in Gostyń was built in the mid-nineteenth century, and its modern shape was given by the reconstruction in 1910-1912. During World War II, there was a prison in the cellars. In the front wall of the town hall there is a plaque commemorating the victims of the Nazis with the inscription "From here they went to the death ramparts to give us victory, our dear heroes, October 21, 1939".
The three-sloped roof is covered with tiles, and a clock tower rises above the ridge.

Ratusz w Gostyniu powstał w połowie XIX wieku, a współczesny kształt nadała mu przebudowa w latach 1910-1912. Podczas II wojny światowej w piwnicach mieściło się więzienie. We frontowej ścianie ratusza umieszczono tablicę upamiętniającą ofiary hitlerowców z napisem "Stąd wyszli na szaniec śmierci, by nam dać zwycięstwo, bohaterowie nasi najdrożsi 21.X.1939 r."

The neo-Gothic town hall building in Sulechów dates back to the 16th century. It was reconstructed several times and rebuilt (mainly due to fires). Each time his appearance and style were changed, the tower was added.
The most intense changes were made in the second half of 19th century, almost completely obliterating the original stylish features of the building. The last renovation works took place in 2009.

Znajdujący się na środku rynku w Sulechowie neogotycki budynek ratusza ma swoje początki w XVI wieku. Był kilkakrotnie przebudowywany i odbudowywany (głównie z powodu pożarów). Za każdym razem był zmieniany jego wygląd i styl, dobudowywano wieżę.
Najgruntowniejszych zmian dokonano w II połowie XIX wieku, niemal całkowicie zacierając pierwotne stylowe cechy obiektu. Ostatnie prace remontowe miały miejsce w 2009 roku.
Cascais is a coastal resort town in Portugal, just west of Lisbon. It’s known for its sandy beaches and busy marina. The old town is home to the medieval Nossa Senhora da Luz Fort and the Citadel Palace, a former royal retreat. Nearby is the whitewashed Nossa Senhora da Assunção church, with glazed azulejo tiles. Paula Rego House of Stories shows the Portuguese artist’s paintings in a modern building.

Town Hall - the first building of the fourteenth century, it was probably a wooden structure. During the great fire in 1541, was destroyed and rebuilt in the shape of a two-storey building with two towers. In the nineteenth century it was rebuilt: In 1827, pulled down one of the towers - north. The elevation developed in neostylowych forms referring to the Gothic and Renaissance, tower crowned with crenellations. In the basement are oldest preserved elements - stone and brick barrel vaults: cross-ribbed and starry.

Ratusz – pierwsza budowla z XIV wieku, była to budowla zapewne drewniana. W czasie wielkiego pożaru miasta w 1541 r. uległ zniszczeniu, odbudowany w kształcie budynku dwukondygnacyjnego z dwiema wieżami. W XIX wieku został przebudowywany: W 1827 r. rozebrano jedną z wież – północną. Elewację opracowano w neostylowych formach nawiązujących do gotyku i renesansu, wieżę zwieńczono krenelażem. W piwnicach zachowały się najstarsze elementy – kamienne sklepienia beczkowe oraz ceglane: krzyżowo-żebrowe i gwiaździste.
Zeil am Main is just a short distance up a hill above the Main River. This view of the central square on the hill features the Town Council Pharmacy (Rats Apotheke). It looks good in color, too, but I like the b&w contrasts on these Tudor-style half-timbered buildings. [DSC02741_lr_2000]
Thank you all for the clicks, comments & faves.
Unexpected shot as i drove through town and saw the light changing. A quick stop and then the sky lit up running around trying to find a good composition and then it was gone.

This will be the last of the Tempe Town Lake Bridge Daylight Series for me.
This particular bridge is the Union Pacific steel truss bridge It was built in 1912 and is still being used today.
There is a park on the left of the lake where people frequent. Its actually pretty amazing that none were in this shot :)
Shot at F11 or F16. The town of Dunstable (Bedfordshire, UK) does have a longer history, but in its street layout it is of medieval origin and grew around the large 12th century Augustinian monastery of which the Priory Church St. Peter is the main survivor. There is also the 15th century gateway leading into what were the grounds of the monastery (now a park).
A retirement apartment, two minutes walk from the town centre with fishing - appealing for many.
Fishing is one of the greatest hobbies practised religiously since ancient times. Some call it a sport while others consider it the art of life. Though this began as a means of survival for many.
Between November 2020 and November 2021, approximately 105.6 thousand people participated in angling in England.
In the UK there are 2.2 million coarse anglers and 0.8 million game anglers, each spending about £1,000 per annum on fishing.
The full socio-economic value of recreational fisheries needs to be recognised, (£3000,000,000 per year).

View of the centre of the Belgian town of Ypres. Actually the town is in the Flemish speaking part of Belgium and there the name is Ieper - but the French name of the town were made quite (in)famous during the First World War.
The view here includes the Cloth hall (Lakenhalle van Ieper or Les Halles aux draps d'Ypres) originally built in the 13th century and St Martin's cathedral (Sint-Maartenskathedraal or Cathédrale Saint-Martin) begun in the same century, to be finished in 1370. Both these building were more or less completely destroyed in the First World War and the buildings you see now are (very well done) copies of the originals (the cathedral built in the 1920s and the Cloth hall 1930s-60s).

The town hall is the central representative building in the historic town centre. The building, which is set far back, forms the design centre with the Old Market, the peripheral buildings and the brick-faced, red district court. It was built between 1818 and 1821 in the classicist style as a half-timbered building with a balcony. The so-called functional half-timbering was painted a plain grey to give the building a more noble appearance with the appearance of a solid building.
Until the completion of the district court in 1881, court hearings also took place in the town hall. For this purpose, the city set up several heated prison cells on the town hall floor, which can still be seen today. These were still used as holding cells until the 1950s. After structural changes were made to the town hall at certain intervals, the restoration of this building in accordance with the preservation order began in 2004.
After years of decay, one of the oldest and most historic houses on the island was returned to its original use.
