xmark tells me that this is St John's College Cambridge, and i can confirm that it was shot on Easter Sunday, so the place was as empty as this photo suggests.

Standing on high ground overlooking the grounds of Croome Court is St Mary Magdalene's church, a beautiful essay in Georgian Gothic designed by noted architect and garden landscaper Lancelot 'Capability' Brown and was finished in 1758. Elements of the interior, such as the decorative plaster ceilings show the influence of Robert Adam, who was involved here.

 

The chancel is dominated by four large and elaborately sculpted monuments in black and white marble to the Earls of Coventry and feels more like a family mausoleum.

 

The church is no longer used for services and is vested in the Churches Conservation Trust. Its opening times are the sames as those of neighbouring Croome Court and its gardens, sitting as it does in the landscaped park, and receives a high percentage of visitors as a result.

Unlike most of Coupeville’s early settlers, Colonel Granville Haller was neither a farmer nor involved in maritime commerce. He was a career military man who fought in the second Seminole War in Florida, the Mexican-American War, the Indian Wars on Puget Sound of the 1850s, the “Pig War” on San Juan Island and in the Civil War. Relieved of duty following the Battle of Gettysburg (allegedly for making dismissive comments of Lincoln’s handling of the war effort) Haller returned to Puget Sound, settling on Whidbey Island. In 1866, he moved to downtown Coupeville and constructed the Haller House: a two-story Georgian structure connected to an existing one-story house of plank construction already present on the site. Haller sold the house in 1879, opting to relocate once again, this time to Seattle. For the next 125 years, the house served as a private residence but witnessed very few alterations. The plan is primarily intact, as are many of the finishes, providing a rare glimpse into mid-19th century domestic life. The last residents left in 2006 and the house is currently on the real estate market. Though designation as a landmark within the Central Whidbey Island Historic District may offer protection for the exterior appearance of the Haller House, occupancy codes will compel any buyer to make significant alterations to the interior. Fearing a loss of historic integrity, residents of Whidbey Island formed the Friends of the Haller House. Their goal is to acquire the house and ultimately help tell the story of the Civil War’s impact on the northwest.

It is one of the greatest works of Roman architecture and engineering.

A close up of the tippy top. I'm kind of surprised it's only 50 stories - it seems a hell of a lot taller.

El recinto amurallado tiene origen medieval. La muralla sirvió para controlar la entrada de víveres, el paso de mercancías, y para aislar la ciudad de posibles pestes y epidemias, además de para su función defensiva. Su trazado tiene forma de rectángulo irregular y está fortificado con torres y cubos coronados por almenas. Tiene nueve puertas de ingreso a la ciudad, la más espectacular de las cuales es la del Alcázar. Fue declarada Monumento Nacional en 1884.
