La cathédrale Saint-Gatien de Tours est l'église cathédrale catholique romaine, située à Tours, en Indre-et-Loire. Dédiée Saint-Gatien, elle est le siège du diocèse de Tours et la cathédrale métropolitaine de la province ecclésiastique de Tours.
Elle a été classée monument historique par liste de 1862.
La cathédrale Saint-Gatien a été construite entre 1170 et 1547. Lors de sa création, elle était située presque au débouché du pont franchissant la Loire, sur la route reliant Paris au sud-ouest de la France. Elle fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 18621.
La première cathédrale Saint-Maurice a été édifiée par Lidoire, évêque de Tours de 337 à 371 et prédécesseur de Martin. Incendiée en 561, elle est restaurée par Grégoire de Tours et dédicacée en 590. Du fait de son emplacement, à l'angle sud-ouest du castrum, et de son orientation à l'est, l'accès se faisait, sinon au travers de l'enceinte tardo-antique, du moins en baïonnette depuis la voie traversant la cité ; une telle configuration est rare2. La cathédrale de Tours est reconstruite au cours du deuxième quart du xiie siècle et est incendiée en 1166 lors des luttes entre Louis VII de France et Henri II d'Angleterre, comte d'Anjou. On ne connaît pas le plan de cet édifice.
La nef et le chœur :
La cathédrale actuelle remplace cet édifice roman. La première campagne a concerné le croisillon sud et les tours, dès 1170. Le chœur est reconstruit de 1236 à 1279 par Étienne de Mortagne. C'est la nef qui a demandé le plus de temps pour son édification. L'architecte Simon du Mans reconstruit le transept et entame la nef, dont six travées, bas-côtés et chapelles sont édifiés au xive siècle — les deux premières travées correspondent à celles de l'ancienne cathédrale romane et remontent au xiie siècle. La nef n'est achevée qu'au xve siècle par les architectes Jean de Dammartin, Jean Papin et Jean Durand, grâce aux libéralités accordées par Charles VII et le duc de Bretagne Jean V. À l'occasion de l'édification du bâtiment actuel, la nef a donc été allongée vers l'ouest et les tours encadrant l'entrée sont élevées en dehors de l'ancienne cité, accentuant la particularité de l'édifice mentionnée supra ; l'enceinte tardo-antique est visible en coupe à l'arrière des tours depuis le nord. En 1356, la cathédrale reçoit le nouveau vocable de Gatien.
La façade a perdu les grandes statues des piédroits, détruites par les protestants au cours des guerres de Religion. Mais elle demeure une des plus extraordinaires créations du gothique flamboyant dans ce qu'il a de plus éxubérant, véritable dentelle de pierre sans guère d'équivalent, chef-d'œuvre décoratif de premier plan. Les tours sont élevées dans la première moitié du xvie siècle : la tour nord a été édifiée en 1507 par Pierre de Valence, et la tour sud entre 1534 et 1547 par Pierre Gadier.

La catedral San Gaciano de Tours, también llamada Catedral de Tours es la iglesia catedral de la diócesis de Tours y la catedral metropolitana de la provincia eclesiástica de Tours. Fue construida entre 1170 y 1547. Estaba situada durante su creación casi a la salida del puente que cruza el Loira, sobre la ruta que une ParÃs con el suroeste de Francia.
Historia:
La primera catedral de San Mauricio fue edificada por Lidoire, obispo de Tours del 337 al 371 y predecesor de MartÃn de Tours. Incendiada en el 561, fue restaurada por Gregorio de Tours y dedicada en el 590.
Su situación, en el ángulo suroeste del castrum, hace que la orientación al este haya hecho que el acceso se haga, sino a través de la muralla tardo-antigua, desde la vÃa que atraviesa la ciudad. Tal configuración es poco común. No se conoce el plano de este edificio.

Saint Gatien's Cathedral is the Roman Catholic cathedral church of the Tours diocese and the metropolitan cathedral of the Tours ecclesiastic province, in Indre-et-Loire, France. Saint-Gatien's Cathedral was built between 1170 and 1547. At the time construction began, it was located at the south end of the bridge over the Loire, on the road from Paris to the south-west of France. It has been a classified Monument historique since 1862.
The first cathedral of Saint-Maurice was built by Lidoire, bishop of Tours from 337 to 371 (preceding St Martin). Burnt in 561, it was restored by Gregory of Tours and rededicated in 590. Its location, at the south-west angle of the castrum, as well as its eastern orientation, resulted in the original access being through the late-Roman surrounding wall (such a configuration is quite rare).
The cathedral was then rebuilt during the second quarter of the 12th century and again burnt in 1166 during the conflict between Louis VII of France and Henry II of England (also count of Anjou, the neighboring region).
The present cathedral replaces the 13th century Romanesque building. The first phase concerned the south transept and the towers, as early as 1170. The chancel was rebuilt from 1236 to 1279 by Étienne de Mortagne but the nave took much longer to build. The architect Simon du Mans rebuilt the transept and started the nave, including six spans, aisle and chapel, built during the 14th century — the first two spans correspond to those of the old Romanesque cathedral and date back to the 12th century. The nave was only finished during the 15th century by architects Jean de Dammartin, Jean Papin and Jean Durand, thanks to the generosity of Charles VII and the Duke of Brittany Jean V.
While building the present cathedral, the nave was then extended westward and the towers surrounding its entrance were erected during the first half of the 16th century, the first tower in 1507 by Pierre de Valence 87 m high, and the second tower during 1534 and 1547 by Pierre Gadier. Highlighting the special feature of the building, called supra, the towers were erected outside of the old city. The late-Roman surrounding wall is visible in cross section at the rear of the towers from the north.
In 1356, the cathedral received its new name of saint Gatien. Its construction having been particularly slow, it presents a complex pattern of French religious types of architecture from the 13th century to the 15th. For example, the tower buttresses are Romanesque, the ornamentation generally is pure Gothic, and the tops of the towers are Renaissance (beginning of the 16th century).

Rossauer Barracks
9th district
The Rossauer Barracks should be together with Franz Joseph's Barracks and the arsenal part of a planned fortress triangle, which should provide protection against internal unrest. On 1 August 1864, ground was broken for the construction of the barracks in the Rossau. Full six years took the edification, and 5 July 1870 the entire area was handed over and the first troops moved. The Barracks underwent several alterations and changes of use over time. During World War II falling bombs destroyed the Danube side infantry officer tract completely, but then it was mostly ​​true to the original rebuilt.
The Rossauer barracks is built in the style of late romantic historicism and recalls the medieval fortress architecture with towers, battlements, attachments and eaves. The equipment of the barracks was already inadequate and doubtful designed in the early days when it came to spatial proportions and sanitation. It was sometimes the story that the architect committed suicide because he had forgotten to install toilets. The barracks offered after their completion accommodation for 2,900 men and 390 horses. Next to it 99 officers flats of different sizes, 43 apartments for married officers, a chapel and office spaces were housed. The building has huge proportions. The length is 269m and width of 136m. In the barracks there are three large courtyards. Due to the proximity to the water, when building a very strong foundation was needed, which is located on about 30,000 pilots. It is worthwhile to make the approximately 850m long walk around the building.

Saint-Stephen Cathedral Metz, France, is a Rayonnant Gothic edifice built with the local yellow Jaumont limestone. Like in French Gothic architecture, the building is compact, with slight projection of the transepts and subsidiary chapels. However, it displays singular, distinctive characteristics in both its ground plan and architecture compared to most of the other cathedrals. Because of topography of Moselle valley in Metz, the common west-east axis of the ground plan could not be applied and the church is oriented north-northeast. Moreover, unlike the French and German Gothic cathedrals having three portals surmounted by a rose window and two large towers, Saint-Stephen of Metz has a single porch at its western facade. One enters laterally in the edifice by another portal placed at the south-western side of the narthex, declining the usual alignment of the entrance with the choir. The nave is supported by flying buttresses and culminates at 41.41 metres high, making one of the highest naves in the world. The height of the nave is contrasted by the relatively low height of the aisles with 14.3 metres high, reinforcing the sensation of tallness of the nave. This feature permitted the architects to create large, tall expanses of stained glass. Through its history, Saint-Stephen Cathedral was subjected to architectural and ornamental modifications with successive additions of Neoclassical and Neogothic elements.
The edification of Saint-Stephen of Metz took place on an Ancient site from the 5th century. The construction of the Gothic cathedral began in 1220 within the walls of an Ottonian basilica dating from the 10th century. The integration into the cathedral's ground plan of a Gothic chapel from the 12th century at the western end resulted in the absence of a main western portal; the south-western porch of the cathedral being the entrance of the former chapel. The work was completed around 1520 and the new cathedral was consecrated on 11 April 1552. In 1755, French architect Jacques-François Blondel was awarded by the Royal Academy of Architecture to built a Neoclassical portal at the West end of the cathedral. He disengaged the cathedral's facade by razing an adjacent cloister and three attached churches and achieved the westwork in 1764. In 1877, the Saint-Stephen of Metz was heavily damaged after a conflagration due to fireworks. After this incident, it was decided the refurbishment of the cathedral and its adornments within a Neogothic style. The western facade was completely rebuilt between 1898 and 1903; the Blondel's portal was demolished and a new Neogothic portal was added.
Probarona Purnima, October 27, 2015, Dhaka, Bangladesh
Probarona Purnima, the second largest festival of the Buddhist community. Also known as Ashwini Purnima, the festival marks conclusion of the three-month long seclusion of the monks inside their monasteries for self-edification and atonement of their defilement.
According to legend, Buddha once clipped some strands of hair from his head and said that if he was qualified to attain supreme wisdom and enlightenment, the hairs would not fall down but go up instead, which they did.
To mark this event, Buddhists ignited and send up balloons made of coloured paper to flow towards the sky as a symbol of lighting up the sky which is the chief attraction of the festival.

En pleins Pyrénées se trouve le spectaculaire espace du Paysage Protégé de Saint Jean de la Peña et du Monte Oroel, et entre ses éléments plus remarquables on peut trouver le Vieux Monastère de San Juan de la Peña, trésor de l´époque médiévale. Les édifications conservées, seulement une part de celles qui existèrent, sont des excellents témoins des successives formes artistiques des différentes époques dans lesquelles ce centre eût de la vie. À souligner surtout les siècles de l´Époque Romane (du XIe au XIIIe siècle) avec des remarquables œuvres d´architecture, de peinture et surtout de sculpture. L´ensemble historique artistique de San Juan de la Peña se complète avec le Nouveau Monastère, du XVIIe siècle et avec les églises de Saint Caprasio et Sainte Marie, toutes les deux de la période romane et situées dans la localité prochaine de Santa Cruz de la Serós.
El monasterio está formado por dos construcciones, el Monasterio Nuevo, del siglo XVII y estilo barroco, y el Monasterio Viejo, del siglo X, de estilo románico.
Tiene su origen en una iglesia eremÃtica sobre la que se erigió el monasterio, en el siglo X, edificándose primero la denominada Iglesia Baja, de estilo mozárabe, que fue consagrada en el 920. Sancho el Mayor de Navarra fundó un nuevo centro en el año 1025. Se construyó una nueva iglesia de estilo románico. En el siglo XV se construyó la capilla de San Victorián y, en el siglo XVII, tras un incendio, se hubo de reconstruir el monasterio, adoptando, esta vez, el estilo barroco. Si bien lo más importante es el maravilloso Claustro románico que es el que atrae a los visitantes.

Ilha de Tavira, Algarve
Although attractive from an holidaymaker viewpoint, clearly a bad example of territory's spatial planning certainly committed a couple decades ago, which allowed edification right on top of the sand dunes. More so, since this island like many in the Ria Formosa estuary constitutes a very sensible area to buffer coastal erosion, as wells as nesting ground for many bird species.

Les fontaines Wallace sont des points d’eau potable publics qui se présentent sous la forme de petits édicules en fonte. Dessinées par Charles-Auguste Lebourg, elles tiennent leur nom de Richard Wallace, le philanthrope britannique qui finança leur édification. Elles sont souvent associées par les étrangers à l'image de Paris où elles furent implantées en premier et qu’on en trouve le plus en France. Celle-ci fut d'ailleurs offerte par la ville de Paris.
Wallace fountains are public drinking water points in the form of small cast iron kiosks. Designed by Charles-Auguste Lebourg, they take their name from Richard Wallace, the British philanthropist who financed their construction. They are often associated by foreigners with the image of Paris where they were first established and that we find most in France. Moreover, this one was offered by the city of Paris.

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ,
To God’s elect, exiles scattered throughout the provinces of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia and Bithynia, who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood:
Grace and peace be yours in abundance.
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
