The Atrium of Abbot Argerich is the open-roofed courtyard area that sits directly in front of the Basilica. Five arches lead you to the main area. [see 3 images below + 9 sec vid of church bells ringing].
The marbled black and white floor of the atrium takes inspiration from the floor of the Capitolium in Rome that was designed by Michelangelo. The inscriptions at the centre are Latin and refer to baptism. Summarized from:

This reconstruction illustrates how the Small Bath at the Archaeological Park of Stobi, North Macedonia, may have appeared during the 5th or early 6th century AD. Based on the surviving curved walls, brick vaults, stone masonry, and archaeological research, the bathhouse has been recreated as a compact yet elegant Roman bathing complex. Located beside the Synagogue Basilica, it probably served a smaller group of visitors than the city's large public baths, while offering the same essential facilities of Roman bathing culture. The reconstruction follows the original layout of the excavated remains, including the distinctive circular bathing area, the brick-vaulted rooms, and the thick stone walls that are still visible today. Marble wall panels, colourful floor mosaics, wooden roof beams, and everyday objects have been added using archaeological evidence and comparisons with similar Late Roman bathhouses throughout the Roman Empire. The bath was heated by an advanced hypocaust system, allowing warm air to circulate beneath the floors and inside the walls. Although no reconstruction can ever be completely certain, this visualization offers a glimpse of how visitors may have experienced the Small Bath more than 1,500 years ago, when Stobi was one of the most prosperous cities in the Balkans.
An artistic reconstruction of the Small Bath at ancient Stobi, bringing one of the city's best-preserved Roman bathhouses back to life as it may have appeared during the Late Roman period.
Deze reconstructie laat zien hoe het Kleine Badhuis in het Archeologisch Park Stobi, Noord-Macedonië, er mogelijk heeft uitgezien tijdens de 5e of vroege 6e eeuw na Christus. Op basis van de bewaard gebleven gebogen muren, bakstenen gewelven, natuurstenen metselwerk en archeologisch onderzoek is het badhuis gereconstrueerd als een compact, maar elegant Romeins badcomplex. Het lag direct naast de Synagoge-Basiliek en diende waarschijnlijk een kleinere groep bezoekers dan de grote openbare thermen van de stad, terwijl het dezelfde belangrijke voorzieningen van de Romeinse badcultuur bood. De reconstructie volgt zoveel mogelijk de oorspronkelijke plattegrond van de opgraving. De karakteristieke ronde badruimte, de bakstenen gewelven en de massieve natuurstenen muren zijn gebaseerd op de archeologische resten die vandaag de dag nog zichtbaar zijn. Marmeren wandbekleding, kleurrijke vloeren, houten dakconstructies en gebruiksvoorwerpen zijn toegevoegd op basis van archeologische vondsten en vergelijkingen met soortgelijke laat-Romeinse badhuizen elders in het Romeinse Rijk. Het badhuis werd verwarmd door een ingenieus hypocaustsysteem, waarbij hete lucht onder de vloeren en door holle muren circuleerde om de verschillende badruimtes aangenaam te verwarmen. Hoewel geen enkele reconstructie volledig historisch bewezen kan worden, geeft deze visualisatie een indruk van hoe bezoekers ruim 1.500 jaar geleden dit badhuis kunnen hebben ervaren, in een tijd waarin Stobi een van de welvarendste steden van de Balkan was.

The Archaeological Park of Stobi is one of the most important archaeological sites in North Macedonia. Founded in the 3rd century BC and flourishing between the 1st century BC and the 6th century AD, Stobi grew into a prosperous Roman city at the crossroads of the ancient trade routes linking the Balkans with the eastern Mediterranean. This collage brings together some of the site's most remarkable monuments and archaeological treasures, alongside several artist's reconstructions that help visualize how these impressive buildings may once have appeared. From the monumental Roman theatre and the elegant streets lined with marble columns to the richly decorated Episcopal Basilica with its famous baptistery mosaics, every corner of Stobi reflects centuries of wealth, craftsmanship, and religious importance. The reconstructed views of the Building with Arches and the Small Bath offer an impression of daily life in the city's final centuries, while the surviving mosaics, walls, and public buildings continue to reveal the sophistication of this remarkable urban centre. Walking through Stobi today requires a certain amount of imagination. Much of the city survives only as foundations, collapsed walls, and fragments of marble and mosaics. By combining photographs of the archaeological remains with historically inspired reconstructions, this collage attempts to bridge the gap between the ruins visitors see today and the vibrant Roman city that once stood here more than 1,500 years ago.

Het Archeologisch Park Stobi behoort tot de belangrijkste archeologische vindplaatsen van Noord-Macedonië. De stad werd gesticht in de 3e eeuw voor Christus en beleefde haar bloeiperiode tussen de 1e eeuw voor Christus en de 6e eeuw na Christus. Dankzij haar strategische ligging op het kruispunt van belangrijke handelsroutes groeide Stobi uit tot een welvarende Romeinse stad en een belangrijk bestuurlijk, economisch en religieus centrum op de Balkan. Deze collage brengt een aantal van de indrukwekkendste monumenten en archeologische schatten van Stobi samen, aangevuld met enkele artistieke reconstructies die een indruk geven van hoe deze gebouwen er ruim vijftien eeuwen geleden uitgezien kunnen hebben. Van het monumentale Romeinse theater en de met marmeren zuilen omzoomde straten tot de rijk versierde Episcopale Basiliek met haar beroemde doopkapel en kleurrijke mozaïeken: iedere afbeelding vertelt een deel van het verhaal van deze bijzondere stad. De reconstructies van het Gebouw met de Bogen en het Kleine Badhuis laten zien hoe het dagelijkse leven zich hier mogelijk heeft afgespeeld, terwijl de bewaard gebleven mozaïeken, muren en openbare gebouwen nog altijd getuigen van de rijkdom en het vakmanschap van het laat-Romeinse Stobi. Wanneer je vandaag door Stobi wandelt, is het moeilijk voor te stellen hoe indrukwekkend de stad ooit moet zijn geweest. Van de oorspronkelijke gebouwen zijn vaak slechts funderingen, muren en fragmenten van vloeren overgebleven. Door archeologische foto's te combineren met historisch onderbouwde reconstructies probeert deze collage de brug te slaan tussen de ruïnes die bezoekers vandaag zien en de levendige Romeinse stad die hier meer dan 1.500 jaar geleden floreerde.

the galleria vittorio emanuele II in milan becomes a stage where light and shadow perform a daily ballet. The sun dips low, casting a radiant glow that dances across the marble and touches each passerby with warmth. A visitor stands still, capturing the moment, while around her the movement of the crowd blurs into the background. It's a scene of timeless elegance in the heart of milan, where history is bathed in the golden hours of the present.
At blue hour the domes of the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque glow softly above the marble courtyard, where light and reflection meet in quiet symmetry. In a turbulent time for the region, may this stillness be a prayer for peace.

Just one area of countless many more marble walkways and floors that make up the ancient city of Pompeii in Italy.
My eye was taken with this once smooth and polished surface, now weather-worn and aged - but in its own way equally as beautiful as when it was first mined, prepared and laid down for those feet to walk upon, almost two thousand years ago.

Among the extensive ruins of the Stobi Archaeological Park in North Macedonia stands one of the city's most intriguing excavated monuments: the Building with Arches. Dating from the 4th–5th century AD, this impressive structure is immediately recognizable by its long row of brick arches, massive stone walls, and fragments of an elegant opus sectile marble floor. During the Late Roman period, Stobi was a prosperous commercial, administrative, and religious centre at the crossroads of the Balkans. Although the exact function of the building is still debated, many archaeologists believe it may have served as an important public building, possibly even a Roman library. The surviving arches once supported an upper gallery, while the richly decorated marble floor reflects the prestige of the complex. Ongoing archaeological research continues to reveal new insights into its architecture and purpose. Standing among these ruins today, it is hard to imagine the grandeur of the original building. What survives are only the lower walls, arches, and fragments of its luxurious floor. Archaeological reconstructions help bring these remains back to life, offering visitors a glimpse of what may once have been one of the most impressive public buildings in ancient Stobi.
The Building with Arches at Stobi, where imposing brick arches and an elegant marble floor still hint at the grandeur of one of the city's most remarkable public buildings.
Tussen de indrukwekkende ruïnes van het Archeologisch Park Stobi in Noord-Macedonië ligt een van de meest fascinerende gebouwen van de oude stad: het Gebouw met de Bogen (Building with Arches). Dit monumentale complex uit de 4e en 5e eeuw na Christus is direct herkenbaar aan de lange rij bakstenen bogen, de massieve natuurstenen muren en de resten van een fraaie opus sectile-vloer van gekleurd marmer. In de laat-Romeinse periode was Stobi een welvarend handels-, bestuurs- en religieus centrum op het kruispunt van belangrijke handelsroutes op de Balkan. De precieze functie van het gebouw is nog altijd onderwerp van onderzoek. Veel archeologen vermoeden dat het een belangrijk openbaar gebouw was, mogelijk zelfs een Romeinse bibliotheek. De bakstenen bogen droegen ooit een bovenverdieping, terwijl de rijk uitgevoerde marmeren vloer de status en rijkdom van het gebouw onderstreepte. Nieuwe opgravingen en onderzoeken leveren nog steeds meer kennis op over dit bijzondere complex. Wanneer je vandaag tussen deze ruïnes staat, is het moeilijk voor te stellen hoe indrukwekkend het gebouw ooit moet zijn geweest. Van de oorspronkelijke architectuur zijn vooral de onderste muren, de karakteristieke bogen en delen van de marmeren vloer bewaard gebleven. Archeologische reconstructies helpen bezoekers een beeld te vormen van de grandeur van een van de meest bijzondere openbare gebouwen van het oude Stobi.

A Biblioteca do Palácio Nacional de Mafra constitui um dos mais notáveis espaços bibliográficos do barroco europeu. Concluída em 1771, durante o reinado de D. José I, ocupa o piso nobre da fachada posterior do convento-palácio mandado erigir por D. João V em 1717, em cumprimento de um voto régio. Com 83,6 metros de comprimento, 9,9 de largura e cerca de 13 de altura, apresenta planta em cruz e pavimento revestido a mármores rosa, branco e cinzento provenientes das pedreiras da região de Sintra. As estantes em madeiras exóticas, executadas em estilo rococó segundo projeto de Manuel Caetano de Sousa, acolhem aproximadamente 36.000 volumes encadernados em pele, abrangendo obras dos séculos XIV ao XIX, com destaque para incunábulos, edições quinhentistas e tratados científicos, filosóficos e teológicos. A conservação deste acervo é assegurada, de forma singular, por uma pequena colónia de morcegos insectívoros que, durante a noite, eliminam traças e outros insetos xilófagos. A abóbada de berço, em estuque branco, e a iluminação zenital conferem ao conjunto uma atmosfera de equilíbrio entre rigor arquitetónico e refinamento decorativo.
The Library of the National Palace of Mafra is one of the most remarkable bibliographic spaces of the European Baroque period. Completed in 1771, during the reign of King José I, it occupies the main floor of the rear façade of the convent-palace commissioned by King João V in 1717, in fulfillment of a royal vow. Measuring 83.6 meters long, 9.9 meters wide, and approximately 13 meters high, it features a cruciform floor plan and a floor paved with pink, white, and gray marble from quarries in the Sintra region. The bookshelves, crafted from exotic woods in the Rococo style according to a design by Manuel Caetano de Sousa, house approximately 36,000 leather-bound volumes, spanning works from the 14th to the 19th centuries, with a particular emphasis on incunabula, 16th-century editions, and scientific, philosophical, and theological treatises. The preservation of this collection is uniquely ensured by a small colony of insectivorous bats that, during the night, eliminate moths and other wood-boring insects. The white stucco barrel vault and the overhead lighting lend the space an atmosphere that strikes a balance between architectural rigor and decorative refinement.
Esta perspetiva mostra um dos extensos corredores do Palácio Nacional de Mafra, edificado entre 1717 e 1755 por ordem de D. João V. O corredor apresenta uma sucessão de arcos em cantaria, criando um efeito de profundidade característico da arquitetura barroca portuguesa. Os pavimentos exibem padrões geométricos em mármores polícromos, combinando tons de rosa, cinzento e creme, materiais extraídos predominantemente das pedreiras da região de Sintra e Pêro Pinheiro. As paredes revestidas em lioz conferem sobriedade ao espaço. O palácio, classificado como Património Mundial da UNESCO desde 2019, possui corredores que totalizam cerca de 232 metros de comprimento, ligando as diferentes alas do complexo monástico-palaciano. Esta galeria servia como eixo de circulação entre os aposentos reais e as dependências conventuais, refletindo a dupla função do edifício enquanto residência régia e convento da Ordem de São Francisco.
This view shows one of the long corridors of the National Palace of Mafra, built between 1717 and 1755 by order of King João V. The corridor features a succession of stone arches, creating an effect of depth characteristic of Portuguese Baroque architecture. The floors display geometric patterns in polychrome marble, combining shades of pink, gray, and cream, materials extracted predominantly from quarries in the Sintra and Pêro Pinheiro region. The walls, covered in lioz stone, lend sobriety to the space. The palace, classified as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2019, has corridors totaling approximately 232 meters in length, connecting the different wings of the monastic-palatial complex. This gallery served as a circulation axis between the royal quarters and the convent buildings, reflecting the dual function of the building as a royal residence and a convent of the Order of St. Francis.

A grandiosidade da sala de orações da Mesquita Hassan II, situada em Casablanca, Marrocos. Inaugurada em 1993 e projetada pelo arquiteto francês Michel Pinseau, esta estrutura monumental é um dos maiores edifícios religiosos do mundo, com capacidade para acolher 25.000 fiéis no seu interior. A arquitetura reflete uma fusão sofisticada entre a tradição islâmica mourisca e a engenharia moderna. O vasto salão destaca-se pelas suas colunas robustas e pelo chão de mármore e travertino polido, que reflete a luz dourada emitida pelos imponentes lustres de vidro de Murano. O teto, meticulosamente trabalhado em madeira de cedro proveniente do Médio Atlas, possui uma secção retrátil de 1.100 toneladas, permitindo a ventilação natural e uma ligação simbólica direta ao céu. A construção deste monumento envolveu o trabalho de cerca de 6.000 mestres artesãos marroquinos ("maalems"), responsáveis pelos detalhados mosaicos de zellige e estuques esculpidos que adornam as paredes, perpetuando técnicas ancestrais num edifício que se estende parcialmente sobre as águas do Oceano Atlântico.
The grandeur of the prayer hall at the Hassan II Mosque, located in Casablanca, Morocco. Opened in 1993 and designed by French architect Michel Pinseau, this monumental structure is one of the largest religious buildings in the world, with a capacity to accommodate 25,000 worshippers inside. The architecture reflects a sophisticated fusion of Moorish Islamic tradition and modern engineering. The vast hall is notable for its sturdy columns and polished marble and travertine floor, which reflects the golden light emitted by the imposing Murano glass chandeliers. The ceiling, meticulously crafted from cedar wood sourced from the Middle Atlas Mountains, features a 1,100-ton retractable section, allowing for natural ventilation and a symbolic direct connection to the sky. The construction of this monument involved the work of around 6,000 Moroccan master craftsmen (“maalems”), responsible for the detailed zellige mosaics and sculpted stuccoes that adorn the walls, perpetuating ancestral techniques in a building that partially extends over the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
