Gate of Ploce, the eastern entrance to Dubrovnik’s Old Town, Croatia
The gate is constructed on the same principle as the western gate (Pile), with external and internal portals, a stone bridge over the moat and a wooden bridge on the pickup.
The outer portal of Gate of Ploce was built in 1450, on plans by Simon della Cava. The inner portals are crowned with the head of St Blaise (in the photo), and are built in the Romanesque style.
Saint Blaise is the patron saint of the town of Dubrovnik and the protector of the historic Republic of Ragusa. He was a physician and bishop of Sebastea in historical Armenia, transitioning from a healer of physical ailments to a "physician of souls". Legend has it that when the Governor of Armenia began persecuting Christians, Blaise hid in a cave up in the mountains, where he established a miraculous rapport with wild animals until he was eventually found out and killed by his persecutors. Christians often turn to Saint Blaise for healing miracles.

From far we feel
Two wheels
The way it goes
Texture comes after
When colors travel around
In the little details
The painter is gone
Come closer and see
External wall decor in the resort town of Salthill, near Galway in Ireland. That sign is a bit weather-faded...that emoji looks familiar... where have I seen one like that before?
These fittings on the external facade of the glassy Optus building turned out to be sprinklers when I zoomed in on them. I had thought they were lights.

external porch - Church Santa Maria delle Grazie - Varallo
La chiesa, situata ai piedi del Sacro Monte di Varallo, con relativo convento francescano, è strettamente legata alla storia del Sacro Monte stesso e al volere di frate Bernardino Caìmi, che la fa edificare tra il 1487 e il 1501. L’edificio, secondo il modello francescano, è a navata unica, con copertura lignea a vista. Vi si trova un eccezionale ciclo di affreschi della “Vita e Passione di Cristo”, sulla parete divisoria tra l’abside e il presbiterio, realizzato fra il 1512 e il 1513 da Gaudenzio Ferrari e composto da 21 riquadri tra i quali spicca al centro, di maggiori dimensioni, la “Crocefissione”. Santa Maria delle Grazie viene affiancata nel 1486 da Santa Maria Immacolata, una seconda chiesa idealmente collegata alla prima da un grande arco.
The church, located at the foot of the Sacro Monte in Varalllo, has, on the wall that divides the presbytery from the apse, a grandiose fresco cycle done between 1512 and 1513 by Gaudenzio Ferrari which shows the life of Christ in 21 pictures. Santa Maria delle Grazie was flanked by Santa Maria Immacolata, a second church ideally connected to the first by a large arch, in 1486. The construction of the church and the conventual complex are tied to the history of the Sacro Monte and greatly desired by Franciscan Monk Bernardino Caimi. In the square, which during the summer turns into a concert venue, one can view the statue dedicated to Gaudenzio Ferrari.

La cathédrale Saint-Tugdual de Tréguier est un édifice religieux situé à Tréguier, dans le département des Côtes-d'Armor en France. Elle était la cathédrale de l'ancien évêché de Tréguier, l'un des neuf évêchés de la Bretagne historique jusqu'en 1790. Elle est aujourd'hui le siège de la paroisse Saint-Yves de Tréguier. Lieu de sépulture de saint Yves, elle est un sanctuaire où l'on vient en pèlerinage, notamment autour du 19 mai à l'occasion de la fête de saint Yves, où a lieu un grand pardon. Elle est une des sept cathédrales étapes du Tro Breiz.
Construit en style gothique du XIIIe au XVe siècle, le bâtiment comporte cependant une partie romane, la tour de Hastings, conservée de la cathédrale romane antérieure. Les phases de construction du XIVe siècle en font un édifice majeur de l'architecture bretonne, qui a servi de laboratoire aux formes du gothique breton aux côtés d'autres églises comme la collégiale Notre-Dame de Lamballe ou la basilique Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours de Guingamp.
Les éléments architecturaux les plus marquants en sont les trois tours qui s'élèvent au-dessus du transept, tandis que la façade n'en comporte aucune, les trois portails hors-œuvre, et la localisation du plus grand clocher avec sa flèche à l'extrémité méridionale du transept, qui donnent à la cathédrale une silhouette peu commune.
Saint-Tugdual Cathedral in Tréguier is a religious building located in Tréguier, in the Côtes-d'Armor department of France. It was the cathedral of the former Bishopric of Tréguier, one of the nine bishoprics of historical Brittany until 1790. Today, it is the seat of the parish of Saint-Yves in Tréguier. The burial place of Saint Yves, it is a sanctuary to which pilgrims come, particularly around May 19th for the feast of Saint Yves, when a grand pardon (pilgrimage) takes place. It is one of the seven cathedrals along the Tro Breiz pilgrimage route.
Built in the Gothic style between the 13th and 15th centuries, the building nevertheless includes a Romanesque section, the Hastings Tower, preserved from the earlier Romanesque cathedral. The 14th-century construction phases made it a major example of Breton architecture, serving as a laboratory for Breton Gothic forms alongside other churches such as the Collegiate Church of Notre-Dame in Lamballe and the Basilica of Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours in Guingamp.
Its most striking architectural features are the three towers rising above the transept, while the façade has none, the three external portals, and the location of the largest bell tower with its spire at the southern end of the transept, all of which give the cathedral an unusual silhouette.
