St Aloysius Church is a Roman Catholic Parish church in the Garnethill area of Glasgow in Scotland. It is the only church in Glasgow to be run by the Society of Jesus. It is situated on the corner of Hill Street and Rose Street and is next door to St Aloysius' College, Glasgow, having a close relationship with the school. When it was built, it was the only Catholic church in Glasgow to have a tower. It is modelled on Namur Cathedral in Belgium and is a Category A listed building.
Lacock Abbey, dedicated to St Mary and St Bernard, was founded in 1229 by the widowed Lady Ela the Countess of Salisbury

This Baroque basilica church is often known as just San Carlo al Corso. The saints it is dedicated to are Ambrose and the cardinal Charles Borromeo (who was canonized in 1610 - the construction of this church began to celebrate his canonization). The dome was made by Pietro da Cortona in 1668 - he also made much of the rest of the interior design.
(Special note of interest: the striped pillars. They are painted to look like stone!)
The scissor arches, which often visitors believe to be later, modern additions were constructed from 1338-48 as an engineering solution to a very real problem.
By 1313 a high tower topped by a lead covered wooden spire had been constructed but as the foundations were not stable large cracks began to appear in the tower structure.
In fear of a total collapse, several attempts at internal strengthening and buttressing were made, until the famous ‘scissor arches’ were put in place by master mason William Joy as a final solution.
Although my photo doesn't show them there were lots of visitors and friendly officials in the the Cathedral. The organ was being played
L'abbaye Notre-Dame de Beaugency a été construite au XIIè siècle. Elle a été témoin de grands épisodes de l'histoire de France, en particulier en rapport avec la guerre de Cent Ans. Aujourd'hui morcelée entre plusieurs établissements, elle est ouverte à la visite.
L'abbaye de Beaugency fait partie de la citadelle de Beaugency. La citadelle, ou plus exactement castrum, est une cité fortifiée. Le castrum de Beaugency est attesté pour la première fois sur une monnaie datée du Xè siècle.
Entre 1104-1108, Raoul de Beaugency, sous l'impulsion de la réforme grégorienne permet aux chanoines qui desservaient l'église primitive de s'affranchir de la tutelle des seigneurs : on édifie leur abbaye.
L’abbaye de Beaugency a été le témoin privilégié de grands événements de l’histoire de France.
C'est en 1152 que s'est tenu, dans l'abbatiale, l'annulation du mariage de Louis VII et Aliénor d'Aquitaine, prémisse à la guerre de Cent Ans.
Trois siècles plus tard, en 1429, Jeanne d’Arc libère la citadelle qui était aux mains des Anglais.
L'abbaye a également été victime des guerres de Religion : en 1568, toute la charpente de l'abbatiale brûle. S’ouvre alors une période de décadence. Ce n’est qu’un siècle plus tard, avec l’arrivée des chanoines génovéfains, que l’ordre se rétablit : les bâtiments sont restaurés. À la Révolution, l’église est mise au service de la paroisse, ce qui a permis qu'elle survive jusqu’à nous. En 1920, les sœurs de la Charité aménagent une partie des bâtiments conventuels en lycée pour jeunes en difficulté.
Les différents corps de bâtiments de l'abbaye de Beaugency sont aujourd'hui éclatés en plusieurs établissements :
-- l'abbatiale Notre-Dame tient lieu d'église paroissiale ;
-- l'ancien espace du cloître et l'une des tours d'enceinte, dite tour du diable, appartiennent au lycée de l'Abbaye ;
-- l'ancien dortoir a été transformé en hôtel.

The Church of Santos Passos, also known as Church of Our Lady of Consolation, was built by the Brotherhood of Our Lady of Consolation and Santos Passos to the architect Andrés Soares at the beginning of the 18th century.
The Church, located in Guimarães, was built in the same place where a small chapel existed since the 16th century.
The imposing temple is topped by two towers added in the middle of the century. XIX, by an architect from Oporto. The staircase and the balustrade are also from that time.
The altarpiece of the chancel is of classical inspiration from the end of the 19th century. XVIII, with painting to imitate the marble.

An aisle is more specifically a passageway to either side of the nave that is separated from the nave by colonnades or arcades, a row of pillars or columns. Like in many Gothic churches, the aisles' roofs of St Bavo’s cathedral are lower than that of the nave, allowing light to enter through clerestory windows.
