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!
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 former collegiate church of St. Martin and St. Mary (short Collegiate Church) in Kaiserslautern is Protestant parish today. It is the oldest hall church between the Rhine and Saar and among the most important Gothic churches in the Pfalz.

Following the Civil War, R-MC students raised $13,000 to construct a campus in Ashland, Virginia, after their facilities in Boydton were rendered unusable. Washington-Franklin Hall, or "Wash-Frank" Hall, was the first building constructed on the Ashland campus in 1872.
Incidentally, Wash-Frank was also the first brick building in Ashland and it houses many historical treasures, including a rosewood Steinway piano, one of only four in the world. The building is included on the National Register of Historic Places and, appropriately, it is home to R-MC's history department.
Named after two long-standing student organizations, the Washington Literary Society and the Franklin Debate Society, Wash-Frank Hall is the host site for the college's annual Washington-Franklin Collegiate Challenge Debates, a parliamentary-style debate in which audience participation is strongly encouraged.
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 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.

The Stiftskirche St. Gallus und Otmar (Collegiate Church of St. Gall and Otmar) is a Roman Catholic church in the city of St. Gallen, Switzerland. Part of the Abbey of St. Gall, it has been the cathedral of the Diocese of St. Gallen since 1847.
Completed in 1767, the cathedral was designed by Peter Thumb, who also designed the Abbey's famous library. Among its rich decorations are frescoes painted mostly by Josef Wannenmacher, and the most complete set of historic church bells in Switzerland. The south altar features a bell brought back by Saint Gall himself from Ireland, one of the three oldest surviving bells in Europe.
