In the Carmelite Priory in Mdina, Malta - a Baroque church built 1660-1675 - but the painting here in the dome actually dates to 1901.
The island of San Michele, located in the lagoon close to Venice, has been the city's cemetery since the early nineteenth century.
There's also a church with a peaceful cloister leading to the cemetery.

The church is mostly known as Bath abbey - but the full name is the Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. It is now an Anglican church, but it started out as an abbey church to a Benedictine monastery. A church was first built on this spot in the 7th century - but the current building dates from the 12th to the 16th century (with some major restorations made in the 1860s, including to the ceiling and finishing the vaulting that had been partly abandoned back in the day - probably for financial reasons) and one of the better examples of the Gothic perpendicular style.
The panels of the honeycomb glass ceiling Reykjavik's Harpa Concert Hall offer multitude of abstracts.
The logs that supported the floor boards in the room above this passageway fascinated me. The structures on either side of the passageway constituted one home.

The Villa was built for Pope Julius III, started in 1551 and completed around 1553, as a place to relax at and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The decorations at this place are still quite amazing. And I am willing to bet that quite a few of the visitors miss this particular ceiling - it's the ceiling above the museum shop!
Today the villa houses the National Etruscan Museum.

The stone work in this church is quite amazing.
In the church Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome - this one was built in 1472-1477, replacing a medieval church (said to have been built on the spot where the wicked emperor Nero had been buried - though this is now very much doubted and that founding history is more to be viewed as a myth). It was originally a pure Renaissance church, but got some remodelling done in the 17th century which gives the church a touch of Baroque too. The biggest claim to fame for the church is, probably, the two paintings by Caravaggio in a chapel to the left of the high altar.

Channel 4 TV headquarters, London. Looking up from the atrium. My little camera just can't handle these ultra wide angle shots.
The choir of the gothic cathedral of Chartres (completed c. 1221) was recently restored, albeit not to everybody's taste.

At Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot), which is a royal castle built in a northern Renaissance style, for the Danish king Christian IV. The main building of the castle was built 1602-1620 (replacing an older structure). For a long time it served as a royal residence, but it was almost completely destroyed in a fire 1859 (which spared only the chapel and audience chamber). The castle was restored, using old plans and drawings to give it its proper look - with generous donations made by J.C. Jabosen (who made a fortune founding the Carlsberg brewery), to turn it into a National Museum, which it still is to this day.
So yes, this is a 19th century vision of how a Renaissance ceiling should look like.

There's peace, I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven!"
