Xàtiva is a city in the Spanish province of Valencia and is the birthplace of two popes. Xàtiva is the Valencian name for this city, but in Castellano this city is called 'Jativa'. This city is located in a beautiful area of hills, vineyards, orange groves and cypress trees on the northern slopes of Monte Vernissa, a two-peaked hill topped by the castle of Xativa. This castle consists of a double fortification divided between the older "Castillo Menor" small castle, built on the Iberian and Roman remains of the site, and the more recent "Castillo Mayor" main castle, built during the Middle Ages. It is located at an altitude of 310 meters above the modern city. The walls mainly date from the period during the Arab occupation. The fortress is strategically located on the ancient Via Augusta road that leads from Rome over the Pyrenees and along the Mediterranean coast to Cartagena and Cádiz. Although the town has expanded in recent years, there are still many old quarters and beautiful medieval monuments to be found. It really is such a small town that you can enjoy as a Spain lover!
One of the most beautiful towns in Spain, Xàtiva is defined by its delicious gastronomy, fascinating history and beautiful naturescapes. The Xàtiva castle is divided into two zones, the so-called Castillo Menor and Castillo Mayor. While the first is pre-Roman, Iberian and Carthaginian, the second is a Latin foundation. The importance of the Xativa Castle lies in its strategic location, being near the Via Augusta, the Roman road crossing all of Hispania Province from Cadiz via Cartagena, on the Mediterranean coast, through the Pyrenees and ending in Rome. The castle therefore had the function of monitoring and protecting the Roman road. Currently, the Castle is a site of Valencian heritage and is managed by the city of Xativa.

VALPUESTA - Burgos
Cuna del Castellano.
En este lugar se situó un obispado desde el año 804 hasta el 1087.
La dióceis de Valpuesta fue formada tras la conquista islámica de la península ibérica, desmantelándose la diócesis de Oca hacia Valdegovía.
De su Colegiata de Santa María, construida a partir de la ermita del siglo IX, proceden los Cartularios de Valpuesta, primer documento que contiene palabras escritas en castellano.
Spanish language cradle.
There was a bishopric here from the year 804 until 1087.
The diocese of Valpuesta was formed after the Islamic conquest of the Iberian Peninsula, dismantling the diocese of Oca towards Valdegovía.
From the Collegiate Church of Santa María, built from the hermitage of the ninth century, come the Cartularios de Valpuesta, the first document that contains words written in Spanish.
The Torre Grossa is the highest in the city with its 54 meters. Work began in the 1300s and ended 11 years later.

View on the Romanesque church in Tum from the reconstruction of an old settlement :)
The Collegiate Church of St. Mary and St. Alexius is an Romanesque church located in the village of Tum near Łęczyca, in central Poland. It was constructed out of granite blocks and sandstone in the mid-12th century. It has the form of an aisled basilica with galleries, a twin-tower west façade, and two apses (west and east). It was reconstructed in the 15th, 18th and mid-20th centuries; during the latest reconstruction the church returned to its simpler Romanesque form and round turrets at the east were added. The main (north) portal dates back to the first half of 12th century. In 2022, the church was designated an official Polish Historic Monument.

Kolegiata romańska w Tumie widziana z wałów obronnych dawnego grodziska :)
Kolegiata Najświętszej Marii Panny i św. Aleksego w Tumie, niedaleko Łęczycy, to romański kościół wzniesiony w pobliżu dawnej lokalizacji wczesnośredniowiecznego grodu. Został zbudowany z granitowych bloków i piaskowca w połowie XII wieku. Ma formę bazyliki z nawami bocznymi i emporami, dwuwieżową fasadą zachodnią oraz dwiema apsydami (zachodnią i wschodnią). Został przebudowany w XV, XVIII i połowie XX wieku. Podczas ostatniej przebudowy kościół powrócił do swojej pierwotnej, romańskiej formy, wzbogaconej o okrągłe wieżyczki od strony wschodniej. Główny (północny) portal pochodzi z pierwszej połowy XII wieku. W 2022 roku kościół został oficjalnie uznany za Pomnik Historii.
The collegiate church of the former monastery is located in Vornbach, near the banks of the Inn.
Established in 1050 by Countess Himiltrud von Vornbach as a collegiate monastery, the monastery was converted into a Benedictine monastery in 1094.
Around 1125 a double-towered basilica was built as a monastery church. This church was rebuilt between 1630 and 1637 in the Baroque style with the inclusion of the Romanesque surrounding walls. The church was redecorated in Rococo style between 1728 and 1733. Franz Ignaz Holzinger stuccoed the interior of the church while Innocent Anton Warathy paints the frescoes. On the west gallery there is an organ by Johann Ignaz Egedacher, which is largely preserved in the original.
I believe that's Mt. Yale on the left and Mt. Columbia on the right. This shot was taken from CR300 that goes out to Ruby Mountain, adjacent to the Arkansas River.
The idea on this night was to try to get a shot of the Comet Lemmon. And while it was visible and I did get some pics of it the view of the comet was somewhat disappointing. The view of the Milky Way above the observation building was much better. Cheers! Colorado, USA

Since 1066, Westminster Abbey has been the location of the coronations of 40 English and British monarchs and a burial site for 18 English, Scottish, and British monarchs. At least 16 royal weddings have taken place at the abbey since 1100.
This abbey, known to millions of people around the world, is formally titled the Collegiate Church of Saint Peter at Westminster, an Anglican church in the City of Westminster, London, England.
Westminster Abbey (the Collegiate Church of Saint Peter at Westminster) is an Anglican Church in London, England, UK. The church was established in the 11th Century and construction of the current church began in 1245.It has been the location of 40 coronations and 16 royal weddings. It is the burial site of 16 monarchs and many prominent British figures. My photos were taken on two different days during our visit to London.
The collegiate church "Zum heiligen Kreuz" is located at Mariahilfer Straße 24 in Vienna's 7th district of Neubau, is part of the collegiate barracks and has been the Roman Catholic garrison church of Vienna since 1921.
The collegiate church was presumably built in 1739 according to plans by Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach. The church building was extended under Maria Theresa. In 1772, Benedikt Henrici erected the present tower with its late Baroque spire. (wikipedia)
The Collegiate Church of St. Mary and St. Alexius (Polish: Kolegiata w Tumie) is an encastellated Romanesque church located in the village of Tum near Łęczyca, in central Poland. It was constructed out of granite blocks and sandstone in the mid-12th century.
The church was built using the opus emplectum technique. It has the form of an aisled basilica with galleries, a twin-tower west façade, and two apses (west and east). It was reconstructed in the 15th, 18th and mid-20th centuries; during the latest reconstruction the church returned to its simpler Romanesque form and round turrets at the east were added. The main (north) portal is sculpted and dates back to the first half of 12th century.
The temple stands on top of a holm or islet which was once surrounded by wetlands and marshes. There is evidence from a papal bull issued by Pope Innocent II that a wooden monastery of the early Benedictine Brothers pre dated the church by at least a century.Older excavations and historical analysis suggested that the monastery was founded by Boleslaus I, the first King of Poland, and Saint Adalbert of Prague in approximately 997 AD. However, more recent studies prove that it was most likely founded during the Restoration period, in the second half of the 11th century. The monastery was demolished to make way for the current church.
Historian and painter Władysław Łuszczkiewicz noted that the islet (and the nearby mound) served as a small fortified stronghold, or gord.[5] He justified his claim with the location particulars, as churches would be founded in the vicinity of populated settlements or castles than on isolated land.
The construction was initiated by Janik, Archbishop of Gniezno, in around 1149.[4] According to a legend, the local townsfolk from Łęczyca believed that the dimples in stonework were made by the hands of Devil Boruta, who attempted to destroy the church. The unfinished structure was consecrated on 21 May 1161 by officials and princes.

The Collegiate Church of St. Stephan, known in German as St. Stephan zu Mainz, is a Gothic hall collegiate church located in the German city of Mainz.
History
St. Stephan zu Mainz was originally built in 990 at the order of Archbishop Willigis, who also initiated the building of Mainz Cathedral. The church was founded on top of the highest hill in the town, most likely on behalf of Theophanu, the widow of Otto II, Holy Roman Emperor. Willigis intended the church to be a site of prayer for the Empire.
The provost of the Collegiate Church administered one of the archdiaconates (a medieval organizational form similar to today's diaconates) of the Archbishopric of Mainz.
The building
The current church building dates from the late medieval era; construction of the main area of the church began in about 1267 and was completed in 1340. The successional building kept the guidelines of the floor plan of the original Willigis building and with it the design as a double choir church. St. Stephan is the oldest Gothic hall church in the Upper Rhine district, and is (besides Mainz Cathedral) the most important church in the city of Mainz.
View of the Gothic cloister of St. Stephan, rebuilt 1968-71 after heavy destruction in World War II
Only a few changes have been made to the church since the 14th century. The cloister, for instance, was added between 1462 and 1499 to the southern side of the church, and the outer face of the church was updated during the Baroque period. In 1857 a great explosion in a nearby powder magazine (Mainz was a federal fortress in the 19th century) destroyed the baroque facing of the church.
St. Stephan was heavily damaged in the cause of the bombing of Mainz in World War II. The cloister was heavily damaged and was rebuilt between 1968 and 1971; the restoration of the huge western belfry was also completed at that time, albeit with some difficulty. The arches over the nave and the choir could not be saved and have been replaced by a flat wooden ceiling.
The church features a Gothic hall with a triple nave and quires at both the west and east ends. A large octagonal bell tower rises above the western choir. (Wikipedia)
If there's one thing that leaving Colorado, even for the shortest time, has taught me - it's that I really do love this beautiful state.

From above Cottonwood Pass at about 12,300 feet looking northeast into the Collegiate Peaks Wilderness and at the Continental Divide We are hoping there will be a good snowpack this winter season that will blanket this area. On average this area gets anywhere from 20 - 30 feet of snow.
The Collegiate Chantry of St Mary was founded in Slapton in 1372 or 1373 by Sir Guy de Brian. Large sections of the walls and West Tower remain.
Yep, that little arched doorway has stood there for over six hundred and fifty years, you gotta love it!
