Definitively completed in the Swabian period, the Cathedral of Cefalù, which became a World Heritage Site in 2015, can now also be visited in its towers.
Built starting in 1131, its Romanesque style is enriched by Arab influences, and its appearance is pure wonder.
It is also possible to climb its Norman towers, which are different from each other: one is the square-plan tower, with battlements in the shape of flames, which would symbolize the papal miter and the power of the Church; the other is the octagonal-plan tower with Ghibelline merlons which would instead pay homage to the royal crown and the temporal power.

Definitivamente completato in età sveva, il Duomo di Cefalù, divenuto dal 2015 Patrimonio dell’Umanità può essere ora visitato anche nelle sue torri.
Costruito a partire dal 1131, Il suo stile romanico è arricchito da influenze arabe, e il suo aspetto è pura meraviglia.
E’ possibile salire anche sulle sue torri normanne, diverse l’una dall’altra: una è la torre a pianta quadrata, con merli a forma di fiammelle, che simboleggerebbe la mitria papale e il potere della Chiesa; l’altra è la torre a pianta ottagonale con merli ghibellini che omaggerebbe invece la corona reale e il potere temporale.

The best time to visit London is before the masses, this was the sunrise at 6am and only a few people to share it with (other photographers!!)
You never know what you're going to get when getting up at 3am but this sunrise as definitely worth the effort!
Hassan Tower - is minaret towering over Rabat city.
The tower, built in the late twelfth century, is a symbol of the city. It should be 80 meters high, but it was never finished and reaches 44 meters. It is an example of Moroccan minarets.
The minaret was part of the unfinished mosque Hassan. This work was abandoned as early as 1199, when he died towering temple ruler. Unfinished building survived until 1755 when it collapsed after the earthquake. To this day, preserved only the basics of columns and Hassan Tower.

Wieża Hassana – to górujący nad Rabatem minaret.
Wieża, wybudowana pod koniec XII wieku, jest symbolem miasta. Powinien mieć 80 metrów wysokości, ale nie został nigdy skończony i osiąga 44 metry. Jest wzorem marokańskich minaretów. Minaret był częścią nieukończonego Meczetu Hassana. Prace przerwano już w roku 1199, kiedy zmarł wznoszący świątynię władca. Nieukończona budowla przetrwała aż do 1755 roku, kiedy to zawaliła się na skutek trzęsienia ziemi. Do dziś zachowały się tylko podstawy kolumn i Wieża Hassana.

Perched on a hill above the village of Llanarthne, Paxton’s Tower looks out on the Towy Valley. Built over 200 years ago, the majestic tower is in fact a folly built in memorial to Admiral Lord Nelson and to impress the people of the valley.
the tower lights up ...
soar.....
pierce the clouds ...
like the devil who is watching us from feeling ...
the tower lights up ..
once or twice the crows hover over it ...
like sending a message from the world of death ...
ahhh ... the tower is still burning ...
keep an eye on our lives ...
