Cadastral Community: Inner City. The palace is next to the Leopoldine Wing of the Hofburg the only surviving example of early Baroque palace architecture in Vienna. It was built in 1661-1667 under the influence of northern Italian Mannerism. 1820 was carried out by Alois Ludwig Pichl a reconstruction in late classical style of the interior rooms. It is a free-standing cubic building block with additive windows lining up (on the upper floor the windows have interrupted segment gable overroofings) and pilaster strip structuring, the roof is rhythmicized by dormers. The banded half-column portal with interrupted segment gable was not until 1895 transposed to the center. In column vestibule and in the hallway there are statues of Josef Klieber.

Objekt ID: 50447 Minoritenplatz 5
Katastralgemeinde: Innere Stadt. Das Palais ist neben dem Leopoldinischen Trakt der Hofburg das einzige erhaltene Beispiel frühbarocker Palastarchitektur in Wien. Es wurde 1661-1667 unter Einfluss des oberitalienischen Manierismus erbaut. 1820 erfolgte ein spätklassizistischer Umbau der Innenräume durch Alois Ludwig Pichl. Es ist ein freistehender kubischer Baublock mit additiver Fensterreihung (im Obergeschoß haben die Fenster gesprengte Segment-giebel-verdachungen) und Lisenengliederung, das Dach ist durch Gaupen rhythmisiert. Das gebänderte Halbsäulenportal mit gesprengtem Segmentgiebel wurde erst 1895 in die Mitte versetzt. Im Säulenvestibül und im Stiegenhaus befinden sich Statuen von Josef Klieber.

Parma (Emilian: Pärma) is a city in the Italian region of Emilia-Romagna famous for its ham, its cheese, its architecture and the fine countryside around it. This is the home of the University of Parma, one of the oldest universities in the world. Parma is divided into two parts by the little stream with the same name. Parma's Etruscan name was adapted by Romans to describe the round shield called Parma. The Italian poet Attilio Bertolucci (born in a hamlet in the countryside) wrote: "As a capital city it had to have a river. As a little capital it received a stream, which is often dry". The district on the far side of the river is Oltretorrente.
One of the towers in the port you can go to if you want to take a trip with a cablecar to the Montjuic. I was amazed at how tall this was. People who visited Berlin can expect this to be about the size of the Funkturm.
The building that you can barely see in the background is the World Trade Center, by the way.

Victorian Windows St Giles Cathedral Edinburgh
Most of the stained glass in St Giles’ dates from the Chambers Restoration (1872-83) onwards. The Life of Christ cycle at the east end of the church was made by the Edinburgh firm of Ballantine, and forms a continuous narrative over seven windows, including the great east window. The Ballantine family, in various partnerships, created a total of 21 stained glass windows for St Giles’.
The Dohány Street Synagogue (or Tabakgasse Synagogue) is located in Erzsébetváros, the 7th district of Budapest. It is the largest synagogue in Eurasia and the second largest in the world, after the Temple Emanu-El in New York City. It seats 3,000 people and is a center of Neolog Judaism.
The synagogue is 75 meters long and 27 meters wide, and was built between 1854 and 1859 in the Moorish Revival style. Its design was based chiefly on Moorish models from North Africa and Spain (the Alhambra) according to a plan by German architect Ludwig Förster, with interior designs partly by Hungarian architect Frigyes Feszl. Both Förster and Feszl were not Jewish, so the whole structure has the feeling of a catholic cathedral. There is even an organ inside that has deterred Orthodox Jew since its beginning. As a result the synagogue caters to a unique group of the Hungarian Jewish population called the Neolog Jews. They practice orthodox Judaism with some liberal traditions (one of which is the organ playing on the Sabbath, and another being the acceptance of men and women here to worship at the same time). The Neologs are not like the Reformed sect of Judaism.
Theodore Herzl's house of birth was next to the Dohány street Synagogue. In the place of his house stands the Jewish Museum, which holds the Jewish Religious and Historical Collection, built in 1930 in accordance with the synagogue's architectural style and attached in 1931 to the main building.
Dohány Street itself, a leafy street in the city center, carries strong Holocaust connotations as it constituted the border of the Budapest Ghetto.

The station building is surrounded by a bus exchange. This will be the main interchange between longer distance bus services from South of the Fraser and the trains which will become the only transit route into Vancouver. This forced transfer is not expected to be popular with those who currently enjoy a one seat bus ride from home to downtown. Note that the station is only just big enough to accommodate a two car train.
