This beautifully preserved stretch of townhouses along Massachusetts Avenue NW in Washington, D.C.’s Embassy Row district is a masterclass in late 19th-century urban architecture. Anchored by a pair of commanding round turrets, the buildings showcase the grandeur of Richardsonian Romanesque and Beaux-Arts Revival styles that flourished in the capital during the Gilded Age.
From the rusticated brownstone base to the soaring red-brick façades, each residence tells its own story through detail: arched entries, fluted stone columns, intricate wood cornices, and jewel-box dormers. The central turret—with its conical roof and checkerboard banding—is an especially eye-catching landmark, reminiscent of both castle keeps and Parisian mansard houses. Deeply recessed windows and carved stone doorframes hint at the wealth and ambition of their original occupants—many of whom were industrialists, diplomats, or early federal bureaucrats.
One of the most notable buildings in this row now houses the Republic of Zimbabwe’s Embassy, identifiable by the flag flying proudly above its entrance. The embassy’s building retains its original Romanesque charm with red sandstone, a sweeping curved bay window, and rounded Roman arches—a nod to both strength and permanence.
Walking this corridor today feels like stepping back into a golden age of D.C. architecture. For lovers of history, urbanism, or stonework craftsmanship, this block is a must-see—and a dream to photograph, especially in the soft morning light.
St. Bernard de Clairvaux Church is a medieval Spanish monastery cloister which was built in the town of Sacramenia in Segovia, Spain, in the 12th century but dismantled in the 20th century and shipped to New York City in the United States.

The closest Cathedral to me is Portsmouth Cathedral which was built in 1180AD and paid for my a local wealthy Norman merchant. It has a very interesting history. In 1449AD the Bishop of Chichester was murdered in Portsmouth by sailors so the cathedral was closed and the people of Portsmouth excommunicated!
St David's Cathedral (in Welsh Eglwys Gadeiriol Tyddewi) which is situated in St Davids (the smallest City in Britain) in the county of Pembrokeshire, on the most westerly point of Wales.
The Cathedral stands on the site of a 6th-century monastery founded by Dewi (David), a Celtic Christian monk, who later became St David the Patron Saint of Wales. Due to the relics of St David, the cathedral was a major pilgrimage destination throughout the Middle Ages.
In the 6th Century St David was reputedly born on a cliff top on the South-West Wales coast during a fierce storm. The site of David’s birth is marked by the ruin of a tiny ancient chapel close to a holy well and the more recent 18th century chapel dedicated to his mother can still be seen near St. David’s Cathedral.
The Celtic saint soon became famous for his learned preaching, devotion to God, and extreme asceticism (he ate only bread and herbs, drank only water, and regularly stood in cold water for long periods). He was nicknamed Dewi Ddyfrwr, David the Water Drinker.
Many legends have circulated about David, including one alleging that King Arthur was his uncle and that among the "prophecies of Merlin" was a prediction that St David would found a bishopric in Wales. In another legend, St. Gildas foretold David's birth when a pregnant woman came into the church as he was preaching. He was struck dumb, and on regaining his power of speech, predicted that she would give birth to a son "with a greater proportion of the divine spirit than has ever fallen to the share of a preacher."
Life in the monastic community that formed under David's leadership was a simple one of prayer, study, and hard labor. Soon a bishopric was established at the site (according to tradition, David was the first bishop), making the monastic church a cathedral. In the centuries that followed, St. David's Cathedral suffered more than a dozen attacks by Vikings and other marauders.
In 1081, William the Conqueror visited St Davids to pray and, probably, to explore its strategic benefits due to its proximity to Ireland. The cathedral was safe under Norman rule, but at the cost of its original Welsh character. The Normans regarded their own form of Christianity as superior to the Celtic way, and soon set out to reform it. This was probably the motivation behind the Latin Life of David written by a bishop's son in 1090, which reports that David visited Jerusalem and was consecrated bishop by the patriarc.

The wonderful Natural History Museum in London. It would take a few days or even weeks to look around the museum properly.
St. Mary's Church (Mariakyrkan) is the oldest still used building in Sigtuna. The brick-made church was constructed in the mid-13th century and inaugurated in 1247. The church was enlarged and sacristy added in the 1280’s. Due the Reformation King Gustav Vasa ordered to demolish the adjacent abbey in 1530 and St. Mary's became a parish church.
Mural paintings were restored between 1904-1905. There are some medieval artifacts remaining in the church. The altarpiece has sculpted figures of the 14th century.

Saturday 14th of August 2021 and a trip to the closest Cathedral to me in Portsmouth. Portsmouth Cathedral was built in 1180AD and paid for my a local wealthy Norman merchant. It has a very interesting history. In 1449AD the Bishop of Chichester was murdered in Portsmouth by sailors so the cathedral was closed for a time and the people of Portsmouth excommunicated! The Cathedral is just a short walk from the closest beach at the Hot Walls.
Wells Cathedral from the Bishops Gardens. The Cathedral was built in 1175, but there had been a church on this site since the year 766. It's a beautiful cathedral to visit and the Bishops Palace and Palace Gardens are beautiful too. I have posted the link to the cathedrals Wiki page below for those interested.

Andorra has more than 60 churches. All are here >> www.lutz-meyer.com/reise/0809and-churches.htm
Christ Church is the oldest building in continuous use in Dublin. The story of the cathedral begins almost a thousand years ago, when Viking King, Sitriuc Silkenbeard, build the first church on this site in about 1030. The Anglo-Normans rebuilt the cathedral in the 12th and 13th centuries and this is largely the building we see today, though it was heavily restored in the 1870s.
Christ Church est le plus vieil édifice encore utilisé de Dublin. L'histoire de la cathédrale remonte à près de mille ans, lorsque le roi viking, Sigtryggr Silkiskegg (barbe de soie), fit construire la première église sur ce site vers 1030. Les Anglo-Normands en firent une cathédrale au cours des XIIe et XIIIe siècles. Celle-ci ressemble grandement au bâtiment d'aujourd'hui, même si des travaux de restauration importants ont été effectués dans les années 1870.

In the 6th Century St David was reputedly born on a cliff top on the South-West Wales coast during a fierce storm. The site of David’s birth is marked by the ruin of a tiny ancient chapel close to a holy well and the more recent 18th century chapel dedicated to his mother Non can still be seen near St. David’s Cathedral.
The Celtic saint soon became famous for his learned preaching, devotion to God, and extreme asceticism (he ate only bread and herbs, drank only water, and regularly stood in cold water for long periods). He was nicknamed Dewi Ddyfrwr, David the Water Drinker.
Many legends have circulated about David, including one alleging that King Arthur was his uncle and that among the "prophecies of Merlin" was a prediction that St David would found a bishopric in Wales. In another legend, St. Gildas foretold David's birth when a pregnant woman came into the church as he was preaching. He was struck dumb, and on regaining his power of speech, predicted that she would give birth to a son "with a greater proportion of the divine spirit than has ever fallen to the share of a preacher."
Life in the monastic community that formed under David's leadership was a simple one of prayer, study, and hard labor. Soon a bishopric was established at the site (according to tradition, David was the first bishop), making the monastic church a cathedral. In the centuries that followed, St. David's Cathedral suffered more than a dozen attacks by Vikings and other marauders. Bishops of St. David's were killed in 999 and 1080.
In 1081, William the Conqueror visited St Davids to pray and, probably, to explore its strategic benefits due to its proximity to Ireland. The cathedral was safe under Norman rule, but at the cost of its original Welsh character. The Normans regarded their own form of Christianity as superior to the Celtic way, and soon set out to reform it. This was probably the motivation behind the Latin Life of David written by a bishop's son in 1090, which reports that David visited Jerusalem and was consecrated bishop by the patriarc.
