Plešivec is an ancient seat of the Bubek family. The Ákoš family, the ancestors of the Bubeks, received it from King Belo IV. in 1243, after the battle on the Slaná River, where the ancestor of the Bubeks, Detrik, allegedly saved the king’s life. After stabilizing his position in 1320, Dominik Bubek built a water castle in Plešivec. In its vicinity, he built a monumental church, which also served as a burial place for the representatives of the family. It was constructed on the site of an older church built by his ancestors. The church, originally nearly twice as long as it is now, was a two-nave Gothic building with a polygonal ending of the chancel, originally vaulted on the central pillars.
From 1349, we have a record of the request of Juraj Bubek to the Pope for the possibility of collecting the indulgences to finance its construction. In the middle of the 14th century, the interior of the church was completed with fresco paintings of very high quality, carried out by Italian masters. In the first quarter of the 15th century, the church was completed with the north-facing funeral chapel of the Bubeks, built according to the pattern of the Spiš funeral chapels. We enter into the chapel through an impressive portal, the architecture of which is associated with the works of the Cathedral of St. Elizabeth in Košice. In its interior, we find three three-part late Gothic windows with an original tracery in the ogive arch shape and corbels of the former vaults.
In 1558, at the time of the Turkish threat, the church was severely damaged, the vault collapsed and the building remained as a ruin until its reconstruction in 1617. By that time, the church was taken over by the reformed believers who reduced its layout to its current length of 19 meters; they covered the nave with a flat ceiling and closed the entrance to the unused chapel. At that stage, the entrance to the church was established from the south and three window openings were made on the south wall. From that period comes a valuable matroneum with painted decorations from 1627. In 1807, a bell-tower was built, a beautiful example of the so-called Gemer classicism.
The monastery of the Benedictine Order at Pannonhalma was founded in 996 in Western Hungary and had a major role in the diffusion of Christianity in medieval Central Europe. The monastery shows a stratification of different architectural styles and various buildings.
Among these buildings: a school (the first ever school founded in the country), the monastic complex – home to the monks whose life is still based on St. Benedict’s Rule ‘Ora et labora’ -, the tourist welcome points and hospitality facilities, the Chapel of Our Lady, the Millennium Chapel and the botanical and herbal gardens.

the enigmatic Ta Prohm temple at Angkor Wat is a delight. It's crumbling ruins are gradually being taken back by the jungle that surrounds it.
The landmark of the old mining village with interesting spindle-shaped urbanism is the Lutheran Church located on a low hill at the upper end of the village called Koceľovce. The church is an almost intactly preserved Gothic building from the first half of the 14th century, originally dedicated to St. Bartholomew.
The single-nave space with a polygonal chancel, a sacristy on the north side and a high tower on a square plan in the west, which turns into an octogon on the upper floors, is covered by a high gabled roof with shingles. The roofing of the tower, with an atypical metal Art Nouveau helmet, dates from the beginning of the 20th century. The nave is vaulted with classicist Theresian vaults instead of the original beamed ceiling, which is stylishly followed by an equally vaulted brick porch. During the last third of the 14th century, the polygonal chancel was built and vaulted with a cross rib vault. The stylistic purity of the church is emphasized by high windows divided by profiled bars and tracery and a system of supporting pillars of the chancel. The current southern entrance to the church was opened during the restoration in the 2nd half of the 18th century, it is closed by a Gothic door with decorative fittings, which were transferred here from the original entrance portal in the tower. Another Gothic door with rich wrought iron decoration is in the portal to the sacristy. This interesting wrought iron door also became the logo of the church.

"About a 1000 meters east of the main gate of Felix Romuliana, on the ridge of Magura you will find the two mausolea of Roman Emperor Galerius and his mother Romula. The complex of sacral objects near Gamzigrad was excavated between 1989 and 1993. There are also two consecration mounds and a monumental tetrapylon up there."
"The explorations have shown that Magura was a kind of a sacred hill, a Mons Sacar, that its top had been a deeply revered place from prehistoric times and that it was precisely there that Romula and Galerius were buried and admitted to the ranks of gods."
The place is made to be a sacred hill. The view is incredible and there is something magic about it.
Zagreb Cathedral, located at Kaptol, Zagreb, is a Roman Catholic cathedral-church. It is the second tallest building in Croatia and also the most monumental sacral building in Gothic style southeast of the Alps. It is dedicated to the Assumption of Mary and to kings Saint Stephen and Saint Ladislaus. The cathedral is typically Gothic, as is its sacristy, which is of great architectural value. Its prominent spires are considered to be landmarks as they are visible from most parts of the city. One of its two spires was damaged in the 2020 Zagreb earthquake.

The Temple of Athena in Paestum, Italy, was built around 500 BC. The architecture is partly in the Ionic style and partly early Doric. Three medieval Christian tombs in the floor show that the temple was used for some time as a Christian church.
Paestum was a major ancient Greek city on the coast of the Tyrrhenian Sea in southern Italy.
Since 1998 Paestum is listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site.

It was constructed in 1694 by Valentin Ulrich Grotian (*24.08.1663 / † 19.05.1741)
He had built seven church organs in East Friesland during his life, but this one here in Pilsum is the only one that still exists today nearly in the original state.
New project.
In my region are a lot of puplic and sacral buildings made out of concrete. Most of them are from the 70s. Some are built by famous architects like Alvar Aalto.
I will try to collect them all.
Built: 1976

Impreziosito dal fastoso balcone.
Poi la Chiesa alla beata Vergine Maria - del Monte Carmelo.
Arriviamo alla Chiesa ex Conventuali SS. Apostoli Pietro e Paolo.
Sopravvive solo - questa antica Chiesa … che nel 1904
fu devoluta alla confraternita di S. Giuseppe.
Al suo interno conserva un organo pressoché integro
costruito nel 1779 dal napoletano Carlo Mancini.

This is the apsis of one of the oldest churches in the South West of Germany, the Gallus church in Sontheim/Brenz. The first sacral building in this place dates back to about 600 a.d. This roman apsis was built in 1000 a.d.
Il mistadello è un tipo di piccola cappella votiva, molto diffuso nel territorio a cavallo tra l'Emilia, la Toscana e la Liguria, solitamente consistente in un'autonoma struttura esterna a cella semplice absidata con portico anteriore. I mistadelli si trovano tanto presso gli assi viari principali quanto in campagna, con funzione devozionale (l'icona più rappresentata è quella della Madonna), di omaggio alla tradizione e di protezione sacrale per le persone e per le contrade da queste abitate o coltivate. La massima diffusione di questo tipo di strutture si registra tra XV secolo e XVII secolo.
Mi trovavo nella sede della APPLE,
l'accesso, è la scala ingabbiata da un'enorme cubo di cristallo che s'incunea verso il sottosuolo.
Magnifico.
Poi, quasi a ridare sacralità allo spettacolo,
uno sguardo più interessato mi prende.
Ci sono anche i grattacieli?
Non me ne ero accorto.
Si far per dire è ovvio.
This was the first mosque built in Malmö, at first I used to see it at a distance often when my family drove from rural Hofterup where we lived, to the Urban Malmoe to shop or similar…
the minarets were added later, at first it was only the main building…
later on a would visit it several times, both as part of my education but also later with muslim friends I had…
