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.
Xàtiva is een stad in de Spaanse provincie Valencia en is de geboorteplaats van twee pausen. Xàtiva is de Valenciaanse benaming voor deze stad, maar in Castellano wordt deze stad ‘Jativa’ genoemd. Dit stadje is gelegen in een mooie omgeving van heuvels, wijngaarden, sinaasappelbomen en cipressen op de noordelijke hellingen van de Monte Vernissa, een heuvel met twee toppen die wordt bekroond door het kasteel van Xativa. Het kasteel bestaat uit een dubbele fortificatie die is verdeeld tussen het oudere "Castillo Menor" klein kasteel, gebouwd op de Iberische en Romeinse overblijfselen van de site, en het meer recente "Castillo Mayor" hoofdkasteel, gebouwd tijdens de middeleeuwen. Het bevindt zich op een hoogte van 310 meter boven de moderne stad. De ommuring dateert vooral uit de periode ten tijde van de Arabische bezetting. Het fort is strategisch gelegen aan de oude weg Via Augusta die van Rome over de Pyreneeën en langs de Middellandse Zeekust naar Cartagena en Cádiz leidt. Het stadje is afgelopen jaren weliswaar uitgebreid maar er zijn nog heel wat oude wijken en mooie middeleeuwse monumenten te vinden. Het is echt zo'n klein stadje waar je als Spanjeliefhebber van kan genieten!
The altarpiece was originally made for the collegiate church at Lirey, near Troyes. The donor, who kneels in the robes at the foot of the Cross in the central panel , was Jean Huyard l' Aine (d.1541): his coat of arms appears in the spandrel between the two arches on the left panel, while a variant, quartered with other arms is shown on the right-hand side.
The donor was qualified as a lawyer and became canon of the church of St Peter and Paul in Troyes some time after 1487 and in 1504 he was elected Dean of the chapter of Lirey. The church in Lirey was consecrated in 1526. This retable probably decorated the high altar, was ready by then. No documentary information about the commission or the sculptor is known.
The style of the altarpiece is transitional between the late Gothic and Renaissance forms which is typical for the altarpieces in limestone produced in Troyes and are to be found in the regions of the Champagne and Aube. The scenes of the Flagellation, the Betrayal of Christ, Christ carrying the cross and Christ presented to the people are based on Albrecht Dürer's engravings of the Small and Large Passion of 1511 and 1512 respectively.
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
The collegiate church in Ebrach, Upper Franconia, near Bamberg, is arguably a unique feature of the German church landscape.
Built between 1200 and 1285 in the Gothic style, its interior boasts a magnificent early neoclassical design. Even the earliest furnishings are rich. Thirty-one altars adorn the church. These were all lost during the Peasants' War. Ebrach Abbey, however, also experienced ups and downs throughout its history.
Shortly after the Peasants' War, the abbey experienced a period of prosperity. However, this period was short-lived. During the Thirty Years' War, Swedish troops marched through Franconia in 1631. The abbot and monks fled. Beforehand, the abbot had the church treasure brought to Würzburg. There, it was stolen by the Swedes and disappeared without a trace. Only the abbot's staff later resurfaced; it can be admired in the National Museum in Stockholm.
At the end of the Thirty Years' War, only eight monks remained at home in Ebrach.
The monastery recovered after the war, and the number of members almost returned to its pre-war level.
Shortly after taking office, Abbot Wilhelm II Rosshirt decided to have the church interior redesigned.
Giovanni Battista Brenni created the magnificent stucco surround of the sacristy between 1696 and 1697.
But what we see today, this interior design in gold and white with red stucco marble columns, is a masterpiece by the Würzburg court stucco artist Materno Bossi. He thus alienated the interior of the church while preserving its Gothic character and tectonics.
This redesign initially met with unpopularity, but today it is admired and celebrated.
Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Magdalena
Construction of the seventeenth century, which is cataloged in the Asturian Baroque architecture
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.
[ENG] The Collegiate Church of Santa María la Mayor de Alquézar, has its origin in the Arab castle built in the ninth century on top of a rocky ridge surrounded by ravines located in Alquézar (Huesca, Spain), which after its conquest in 1067 by Sancho Ramírez becomes a Christian fortress, and in 1099, when military needs were overcome by the progress of the Reconquest, a community of Augustinian canons was installed, building a Romanesque collegiate church, which in the 16th century was replaced by Another gothic that endures today. They emphasise: in the cloister the Romanesque capitals of the thirteenth century and the mural paintings of the fourteenth to eighteenth centuries, in the church the rib vault, the Renaissance main altarpiece (XVI century), a Romanesque Christ and the baroque organ.

[ESP] La Colegiata de Santa María la Mayor de Alquézar, tiene su origen en el castillo árabe construido en el siglo IX en lo alto de una cresta rocosa rodeado de barrancos situada en Alquézar (Huesca, España), que tras su conquista en 1067 por Sancho Ramírez pasa a ser fortaleza cristiana, y en 1099, superadas las necesidades militares por el avance de la Reconquista, se instaló una comunidad de canónigos agustinos, construyéndose una iglesia colegiata románica, que en el siglo XVI se sustituyó por otra tardogótica que perdura en la actualidad.

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.
Through a document from Emperor Otto I, the collegiate church of St. Peter in Wimpfen im Tal came into possession of market rights on the patronage festival for St. Peter on June 29th in 965. Due to its convenient location (there was a bridge over the Neckar in Wimpfen as early as Roman times) and its political importance, Wimpfen remained an important market town throughout history. After the Palatinate Wimpfen was built in the High Middle Ages, Wimpfen am Berg as an imperial city surpassed the valley settlement in importance and tried to take over the market from the valley settlement. In 1377, King Wenceslaus also gave the mountain town the right to market on St. Peter and Paul, which led to around 100 years of disputes between the mountain and valley towns before the mountain town gave up the market in favor of the valley town. The fair now takes place every year on the last weekend in June. Although a grocer's market is still part of the valley market, in the recent past it has largely changed into a folk festival with bars and rides.
Ok, out of the city for a while. The collegiate peaks are part of the collection of mountain peaks found in Colorado, over 14,ooo ft.
"The Notre-Dame collegiate church is a monument in the town of Vernon in the Eure. It is located opposite the town hall and next to the tourist office. The building is the subject of a classification as historical monuments by the list of 1862.
Work on the building began in the late 1000's. It was around 1072 that the dedication to “the Holy Mother of God” of collegiate 2 took place by Gilbert Fitz Osbern, bishop of Évreux, this church being built in the environment of a pagan temple.
The facade dates from the 1400's. In 1160, Guillaume de Vernon senior founded the college of sixteen canons.
The collegiate church of Vernon has two spiers 70 m high. Important works carried out between 1360 and 1610 concerned the nave and the facade of the collegiate church to create a magnificent Gothic construction with six bays and thirteen side chapels. It was completed in the 1600's.

A handsome ranch is made all the more pleasant by its proximity to the Collegiate Range and in particular, its morning view of Mount Princeton (el 14,197 ft). The field in the foreground is used for hay, while further back it serves as a horse pasture. Mr. Jones, the 1942 baby blue flatbed truck, is used to move bales of hay. The robust cottonwoods on the left are watered by Chalk Creek, near Nathrop, Colorado.
Mount Princeton can be explored and the horses and Mr. Jones can be seen more clearly at the highest resolution.
The Neumünster Collegiate church (German: Kollegiatstift Neumünster, French: Collégiale de Neumünster) is a collegiate church in Würzburg, Germany. The church dates back to 1065. In 1060 Adalbero of Würzburg built a church with a nave and aisles and two choirs in Romanesque style. From 1180 to 1250 the church was renovated and its eastern section was expanded. The Romanesque west choir was demolished, and from 1711 to 1716 Josef Greising built the west façade in Baroque style. From 1725 the interior was redesigned in the baroque style by the brothers Johann Baptist Zimmermann and Dominikus Zimmermann. In the Second World War, the church was damaged during the Bombing of Würzburg in World War II. From 1945 to 1952 the interior was restored.
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!
Cold winters day, sat in grounds of Hull Collegiate, waiting for Daisy, and liked the foliage on this tree. Not shot in monochrome but you'd never know!
