Whitewashed brick building in neo-classical style, dating mainly from the 19 th century.
The castle was owned by numerous barons. The front of the castle was build around 1820.
Over time, the castle has undergone numerous restorations and transformations.
Today is a set of whimsical architecture, which gives it an original and even a little disturbing in foggy weather stamp ...
It is possible that the castle was built on the site of an ancient Roman villa.

The Trevi Fountain is the largest — standing 25.9 meters (85 feet) high and 19.8 meters (65 feet) wide — and most ambitious of the Baroque fountains of Rome. It is located in the rione of Trevi.The fountain at the juncture of three roads (tre vie) marks the terminal point of the Aqua Virgo (Italian: Acqua Vergine), one of the ancient aqueducts that supplied water to Rome. In 19 BC, supposedly with the help of a virgin, Roman technicians located a source of pure water some 13 km (8 miles) from the city. (This scene is presented on the present fountain's facade). However, the eventual indirect route of the aqueduct made its length some 22 km (14 miles). This Aqua Virgo led the water into the Baths of Agrippa. It served Rome for more than four hundred years. The "coup de grace" for the urban life of late classical Rome came when the Goth besiegers broke the aqueducts. Medieval Romans were reduced to drawing water from polluted wells and the Tiber River, which was also used as a sewer
La Fontana di Trevi è la più grande ed una fra le più note Fontane di Roma, ed è considerata all'unanimità una delle più celebri fontane del mondo.
La settecentesca fontana, progettata da Nicolò Salvi, è un connubio di classicismo e barocco adagiato su un lato di Palazzo Poli.
Il tema della scultura è il mare. La scenografia è dominata da un cocchio, a forma di conchiglia sul quale è adagiata la grande statua di Oceano di Pietro Bracci, affiancata nelle nicchie laterali dalle statue della Salubrità e dell'Abbondanza, opera di Filippo della Valle; il cocchio è trainato da cavallucci marini, a loro volta preceduti da tritoni. Nella fontana, scultura e architettura barocca si compenetrano e si fondono perfettamente, in un suggestivo spettacolo acquatico.
Una celebre tradizione vuole che porti fortuna lanciare una moneta nella fontana volgendole le spalle, perché in questo modo si tornerà sicuramente nella città . Le monete, raccolte quotidianamente, vengono destinate dal comune di Roma ad opere caritatevoli.

Osterley Park
Osterley Park is a Georgian country estate in west London close to Hounslow. Osterley House originally dates from the 1570's, it was remodelled by Robert Adam between 1761 and 1765, and contains sumptous classical style Adams interiors.
The house and park was bequeathed to the nation in 1949 by Lord Jersey and is now in the care of the National Trust.

The Ballarat Town Hall with its impressive clock tower is one of the provincial centre’s most impressive and distinctive buildings. This building, built in classical Second Empire style between 1870 and 1872 is in fact the third Town Hall on the current site on the corner of Armstrong Street and Sturt Street. The first wooden Town Hall was destroyed by fire in 1859, and the foundation stone for the second building was laid in August 1860. The original plans for the second Town Hall were deemed too expensive to complete, so work on the project ceased. Time passed, and the second building, as it was, was finally incorporated into the third structure.
Its interior is equally impressive, decorated in the same classical and elaborate style. It features grand council chambers with elaborate ceilings. However it is the stairwell which is the Ballarat Town Hall's most magnificent interiors. It is lit by an elaborate skylight, features a magnificent chandelier, has intricately tiled floors and has a set of palatial stairs decorated with spelter figures holding aloft lamps.
Second Empire was a Parisian style which was a revival of the style of Napoleons Second Empire. The style was often used for buildings of great cultural importance, and was often applied to town halls, theatres, grand hotels and public buildings. Often this style endows buildings with landmark qualities. Therefore it seems only appropriate that during the height of the Gold Rush boom of the 1870s the people of Ballarat had such a magnificent Town Hall bestowed upon them.
The Town Hall, designed by architects, J. J. Lorenz and H. R. Caselli (interiors), features classic trademark design features of the Second Empire style including: richly ornate Renaissance styled trimmings, including quoining and profuse ornament; towers and Palladian motifs; and a high Mansard style roof with cast iron cresting and rooftop dormer windows as part of the clock tower’s design. The Town Hall has a symmetrical facade, dominated by dome roofed clock tower, which has a peal of bells, and pedimented end towers with fan shaped windows.
First pullip. Expect lots of Alice pictures! She quickly became one if my favorite dolls, and one of my favorite dolls to photograph. I got her from PullipStyle.com with a dent box, as I didn't care for the box, only Alice and her accessories, and I was planning to take her out of packaging from the start so I saved a couple of dollars there(even though it took me 5 minutes to find such dent that I hardly think of it as one. Such a non-problem being taken into consideration by the retailer really shows the high quality of service from PullipStyle).
Over-all review of Alice: She's mine hands off! Kidding aside lovely, and looks a lot like the drawings of Alice in Through The Looking-Glass, with a bit of pimped up attributes here and there making her a one of a kind variation. The wig has a good scent to it, so it won't get a foul odor on the clothing and accessories. It has no bald spots and you can't see the seams of the wig unless you push the hair over. It is a nice thin(dimensions matter!), polyester I believe, hair, with quite minute frizzing. Almost none, but making the hair look more natural. Her curls are not stiff, and incredibly soft. The company(Groove) used a very very high quality spray, that can't be noticed practically at all when touching the hair, to help keep the curls in their designated design. The curls are easily fixed with only moist fingers. Great doll, but very delicate. I've never been more careful with a doll than Alice.
A photo and discussion by flickr friend Ed here got me thinking and looking up a book on the classical orders to see what the difference if any exists at the base of hte different orders of columns...I then had to draw the result of my research...but not in an accurate way - after all I never manage to do neat work in my sketchbook do I?
BTW, I love architectural distractions....
This classical Chinese garden was built between 1988 and 2000 and is one of the best of its type in the U.S. It was a gift from Portland's Chinese sister city, Suchou, which provided a team of experts to construct the garden. It closely follows the design of the famous classical garden "Master of the Nets" in Suchou.
The name Lan Su translates roughly to garden of Awakening Orchids."
