Salzburg is an Austrian city on the border of Germany, with views of the Eastern Alps. The city is divided by the Salzach River, with medieval and baroque buildings of the pedestrian Altstadt (Old City) on its left bank, facing the 19th-century Neustadt (New City) on its right. The Altstadt birthplace of famed composer Mozart, and also Christian Andreas Doppler Austrian mathematician and physicist!
Frauenkirche Dresden.... Built in the 18th century, the church was destroyed in the bombing of Dresden during World War II. The remaining ruins were left for 50 years as a war memorial, following decisions of local East German leaders. The church was rebuilt after the reunification of Germany, starting in 1994. The reconstruction of its exterior was completed in 2004, and the interior in 2005. The church was reconsecrated on 30 October 2005 with festive services lasting through the Protestant observance of Reformation Day on 31 October. The surrounding Neumarkt square with its many valuable baroque buildings was also reconstructed in 2004.

I just love the folds moving in the non-existent wind of this angel.
The angel is one of several decorating Ponte Sant'Angelo - the bridge was originally called Pons Aelius (Aelian Bridge) and built in 134 A.D. by emperor Hadrian to connect the city and his mausoleum, supposedly by the architect Demetrian. It was later also referred to as pons Sancti Petri (the bridge of St Peter) because pilgrims used it to get to the St Peter's basilica. And in the early 7th century it was given the official name of Sant'Angelo, to match the name-change of the mausoleum to Castel Sant'Angelo.
In the 15th century the bridge was used to display the bodies of executed criminals.
The angels now adorning the bridge were commissioned in 1669 by pope Clement IX and made by students of Bernini under his directions. This particular one, holding a column, was made by Antonio Raggi

Interior of the church Santa Maria Maddalena - a Baroque church, for the order Ministri degli Infirmi which had a church on this spot since 1586. The work on the current church was begun in the 17th century in the Baroque style (and the main main facade was actually finished in the 1730s in the Rococo style (after some 70 years of work on the church). Several architects were involved in this long process, and the dome is thought to be the work of Carlo Fontana.
Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire, England. Built 1705-1722 originally for John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough, as reward for military activities including the Battle of Blenheim. Birthplace in 1874 of Winston Churchill.
Christopher Wren was in the running to be architect but the post was given to John Vanbrugh who was assisted by Hawksmoor. The building is in the ‘English Baroque’ style that paralleled the perhaps more exuberant Continental Baroque. English baroque was soon unfashionable and replaced by the restraint of the Georgian buildings of Edinburgh and Bath.
Dublin
St. Ann's Church, Dawson Street, in Dublin, Ireland, was built in the early 18th century following the establishment of the local Anglican parish in 1707. In the early 21st century the church presents itself as ecumenical within the tradition of the Church of Ireland.The building of the church in baroque style commenced in 1720, to a design by Isaac Wills.The current façade dates to the 19th century. In 1907, St. Ann's was listed as one of just six Dublin church buildings surviving from the 18th century.

This organ case in the Peterskirche (English: St. Peter's Church) in Vienna is by Gottfried Sonnholz and dates from 1751. It consists of 119 blind pipes, the actual present organ behind it was built in 1903 by Franz Josef Swoboda.
While I was taking these photos, an organist played Toccata and Fugue in D Minor by Johann Sebastian Bach. That just sounded wonderful! When he finished playing, the people sitting in the pews, about a dozen in number, applauded and I realised that I had walked around with my camera in the middle of a poorly attended organ concert. Of course, I applauded too.
The first chapel of the camp was built in 1652 by settlers and indigenous people, guided by the Jesuits. Already in 1732, due to poor conservation, it was demolished. With the expulsion of the Jesuits from the Captaincy of São Vicente (an area equivalent to the states of São Paulo and Minas Gerais together) the administration of the camp at Escada was handed over to the Franciscans who, in 1734, built a new church and annexed accommodation, which started to function as a convent.
Its architecture is typically baroque, with its walls built in rammed earth and wattle and daub. The set represents an architectural pattern from the first centuries of colonization in Brazil.
This is the only Church in Brazil that has the image of "São Longuinho" on the altar, popularly known as the Saint of lost objects.
Evoking "Sao Longuinho" is sure to find something that was lost!
The church is currently in the process of restoration.

This is a detail of the grand staircase ceiling of the Palacio Real, the largest building in Madrid and the largest royal palace in Western Europe. Designed in the Italianate Baroque style, construction began in 1734 as the dream of Felipe V, the first Spanish Bourbon king. Although only used for ceremonial occasions, the palace contains a treasure trove of art & antiques. The ceiling with its colorful & festive decoration and round windows reminds of the holidays somehow :)
