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: 1960
Architect: Gerhard Langmaack
La fonte nuragica Li Paladini si trova in mezzo ad un fitto e lussureggiante bosco, alle falde del Monte de Deu. Costruita in pietra di granito, la fonte incamera un vena sorgiva ancora attiva e presenta sul davanti una grande pietra di soglia con incisa una canaletta per il deflusso dell'acqua. La camera di captazione è chiusa superiormente da una semicupola ogivale che si conclude in alto con due lastre di copertura a piattabanda. Nonostante le manomissioni che hanno alterato non poco l’originale forma dell’atrio, la piccola fonte di Li Paladini mantiene ancora intatto il senso di sacralità proprio di tutti gli edifici dedicati in Sardegna al culto delle acque.

It was time to go home and I really was relieved that the conference was almost over. After breakfast I walked through the neighbourhood to take pictures and take my mind off the bad news for a while. I then went into this church and lit some candles. I'm not a religious person but I thought it would be a nice gesture that my grandmother would have appreciated.
Il bianco contiene in se tutti gli altri colori, unficando quindi la totalità, ed è usato per sostenere e segnalare diversi passaggi di stato. Si pensi al vestito bianco della sposa o al bianco funerario delle culture orientali. É il colore adatto per un nuovo inizio, una soglia di passaggio verso qualcosa di nuovo
É associato con la luce, la bontà, l'innocenza, la purezza e la verginità. Simbolizza l'indifferenziato, la castità e la santità, la sacralità e la redenzione. Associato al nero simbolizza la dualità, i due opposti, il bene ed il male. Associato al rosso simbolizza il diavolo, il purgatorio

Nei sogni il colore bianco tende a sottolineare ed indicare le fasi di passaggio, il cambiamento, la tendenza verso l'alto, l'innocenza, la semplicità.
É considerato il colore della perfezione. Bianco significa sicurezza, purezza e pulizia. gli angeli sono di solito rappresentati con vesti bianche.
Il bianco è spesso associato anche con i concetti di poco peso, cibo con poco grasso e latticini.
Tutto ciò che è immateriale e privo di peso, infatti, e legato ad altri mondi o altri stati dell'essere, facilmente appare come bianco. Anche fantasmi e spiriti in genere vengono ricordati come chiari, bianchi, luminosi e lattiginosi.

From the archives: a visit to Marija Bistrica shrine. Early May 2011.
It's hard to believe, especially for me, but this and previous photo are the only ones taken with my primary DSLR for years, and my widest DSLR lens for years, Pentax-DA 18–55mm kit lens. Really hard to believe, since I've been using the camera extensively. Apparently not with that lens…
Taken with Pentax K20D camera and smc Pentax-DA 18–55mm F3.5–5.6 kit lens.
My road trip yesterday took me out of the Schengen zone for the first time since we became part of it. It was uneventful like it should be!
Here's a photo I took. It's Harmanska/Ić-Hisar mosque in Bihać, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The mosque was built in 1797, renovated in 1967 and again in 2002.

Ruins of a medieval fortified church are located above the village of Lúčka, situated at the border of the Slovenské rudohorie mountain range and the national park of Slovenský kras. The village had been known since 1409 as part of the Turňa Castle Estate donated to Pál Besen by King Sigismund.
According to the testimony provided by the local church, however, the village dates back to at least the half of the 13th century. The church itself was built as an early-Gothic church of the Gemer style. In the first half of the 15th century, it was surrounded by a defensive stone wall with a watchtower situated in the front. The small fortress was captured by Jan Jiskra’s troopsand is commonly called the Hussite church by the locals. Only the external walls of the church and the considerably lowered defensive wall with the tower that later on served as a belfry have been preserved up to the present. The quadratic tower used to have two floors in the past, with three windows on the first floor and three loopholes on the ground floor that served to watch the surroundings and to protect the fortress from three sides: the west, the south, and the east. The top of the slope upon which the church was built provided for the natural protection from the north.
The area where the church stands counts among the ecologically cleanest territories in Slovakia. It provides for exceptionally good conditions for recreationin a peaceful natural setting and for short walks in the basin of the Čremošná, to the lake of Lúčka, as well as to the surrounding beech and fir forests. Moreover, the unique natural reserve of Zádielska dolina is located in close distance, lined with plateaux where traces of fortified prehistoric settlements were confirmed by archaeological surveys.
ITALIA -- LAZIO -- SANTA SEVERA
Nell'area del castello di Santa Severa, esiste un vero museo all'aria aperta : vi sono interessanti reperti dell'antica città. di PIRGY.
L'origine di questa antichissima città risale , sicuramente , al periodo ETRUSCO, quindi , poi, divenne un'importante centro del periodo ROMANO.
Questo particolare é una "PIETRA SACRALE", probabilmente utilizzata in un tempio dedicato al "DIO APOLLO", periodo circa anno 300 a.c.
In the area of the castle of Santa Severa, there is a real open-air museum: there are interesting finds from the ancient city. by PIRGY.
The origin of this very ancient city certainly dates back to the ETRUSCAN period, then it became an important center of the ROMAN period.
This detail is a "SACRAL STONE", probably used in a temple dedicated to the "GOD APOLLO", around the year 300 BC.
Il nome di Selinunte deriva dal greco Sèlinon, termine con cui veniva designato l'appio, (sorta di prezzemolo selvatico che, fiorito, emana un intenso profumo), che cresceva abbondante nella zona e che compare anche sulle prime monete coniate dalla città.
Fondata da gente proveniente da Megara Hyblaea nel corso del VII sec. a.C., Selinunte ha vita breve (circa 200 anni di splendore), ma intensa, forse anche grazie all'azione di un governo accorto dei tiranni che vi si sono succeduti. La prosperità della città è testimoniata dall'ampia zona sacrale e pubblica che si estende in tre zone distinte.
Alleata a lungo di Cartagine, dalla quale sperava di ottenere appoggio per contrastare la rivale Segesta, viene infine distrutta proprio dal cartaginese Annibale nel 409 a.C.

Panorama from the old town of Vilnius, Lithuania. From left to right the Church of St. Anne, the bell-tower of the Church of St. Anne, the monument to Adam Mickiewicz, and the Church of St. Francis and St. Bernardine.
The Church of St. Francis and St. Bernardine is one of the largest gothic sacral buildings in Vilnius. It composes a unique architectural ensemble with St. Anne's Church, but it is much older and higher than the latter.
In 1469, Bernardine monks that had recently settled in Vilnius built a wooden church that was later replaced by the brick one. At the beginning of the 16th century, the church was totally reconstructed. Originally, the church was a part of the city's defensive wall, and this, in fact, explains its modest decor. Since then the loopholes under the roof in the northern facade have remained. After numerous renovations in the 16-17th centuries the church acquired renaissance and baroque style elements. The baroque decor of the altars, pulpit, organ choir and tombstones softens the strictness of the gothic lines. During the Soviet occupation the church was handed over to the Art Institute. In 1994, it was returned to the brethren of St. Francis.
Now the Bernardine Church is being restored and soon it will acquire its former beauty. But even now the splendor interior of the church enchants the visitors. The dominants of the interior are fourteen rococo style altars decorated with beautiful wooden sculptures. The church features the oldest known crucifix in Lithuania, which dates back to the 15th century. The unique mural painting decorating the walls of the naves dates back to the 16th century and combines renaissance and gothic elements. The scenes on biblical themes are decorated with inscriptions in gothic character and floral ornaments. The church is famous for the plenty of the ornate tombstones. Among them one should mention marble tombstones of Stanislaus Radziwill in the north nave (1618-1623) and Piotr Wiesiolowski in the south nave (1634).
The Bernardine monastery that is situated near the church is the oldest brick building of the entire complex. It was constructed at the end of the 15th century. The monastery soon became one of the cultural centers of the medieval Lithuania. It was famous for its rich library, containing unique manuscripts and books. In 1864, the monastery was closed and the building was reequipped to soldier's barracks. In 1919, it was handed over to the art faculty of the university, later - to the Art Institute. Now the cloister houses the Vilnius Academy of Art.
The statue in the foreground is in memory of Adam Bernard Mickiewicz which is generally regarded as the greatest Polish Romantic poet. He ranks as one of Poland's Three Bards alongside Zygmunt Krasiński and Juliusz Słowacki. Mickiewicz is also regarded as the greatest Slavic poet, alongside Alexander Pushkin, and as one of the best authors of the Romantic school.
Adam Mickiewicz is generally known as a Polish poet; but though all his major works are written in Polish, his nationality has been an object of controversy. The controversy largely stems from the fact that in the 19th century the modern concept of nationality based on ethnicity had not yet been fully developed and the term "Lithuania," as used by Mickiewicz himself, had a much broader geographic meaning than it does now. Mickiewicz had been brought up in the culture of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, a multicultural state that had encompassed most of what today are the separate countries of Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Belarus and Ukraine. His most famous poem, Pan Tadeusz, begins with the invocation "Oh Lithuania, my fatherland, thou art like good health". It is generally accepted that in Mickiewicz's time the term "Lithuania" still carried a strong association with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, part of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and that Mickiewicz used it in a political rather than an ethnic sense.
Church of st. Mary Magdalene in Dukla is one of the most valuable Polish rococo churches.
It was built as a gothic one, around 1461, with a brick chancel and a wooden nave. When in 1738 there was a fire in the city, the nave burned down entirely, and the chancel became the basis for the reconstruction of the temple.
The owner of Dukla and the Grand Marshal of the Crown, Józef Wandalin Mniszech, the same one who donated the land for the Bernardine monastery, undertook it. The temple was given a baroque appearance, but another fire and the death of Józef Vandalin in 1747 interrupted the work. They were continued in 1764 by the son of the marshal, Jerzy August Mniszech, supported by his wife, Maria Amalia. It was then that the church's interior acquired a rococo interior and fittings that have survived to this day.

Biru ‘e Concas è un eccezionale sito archeologico che contiene un raggruppamento di menhir fra i più importanti dell’intera area mediterranea. Sono circa 200 monoliti, alcuni isolati, altri in piccoli gruppi, altri ancora disposti in circoli o allineati fino a un numero di 20 menhir. Molti giacciono sul terreno, interi o spezzati, fuori dalla loro posizione originaria.
La visita di questo luogo mi ha veramente impressionato, per l’atmosfera di sacralità che le sue antichissime pietre riescono a trasmettere, ma anche perché si estende in mezzo ad alberi secolari, fra conifere, castagni e nocciole, in un ambiente naturale di emozionante bellezza.

El tejo es la especie más emblemática y simbólica de las presentes en Cantabria. Venerado por los cántabros de la antigüedad, formaba parte de algunos de sus rituales. Su frecuente presencia en cementerios e iglesias ha permitido perpetuar ese halo de misterio y sacralidad que envuelve lo relacionado con esta especie. Antiguamente era habitual encontrarlo en las plazas de algunos pueblos para presidir el concejo abierto, algo también aplicable a la encina y el roble.
Bien conocida es la elevada toxicidad de toda la planta, a excepción del arilo carnoso que envuelve a la semilla. De hecho, los antiguos cántabros, así como otros pueblos guerreros, utilizaban las semillas como veneno para suicidarse cuando se encontraban acorralados por el enemigo o presos.
Su madera ha sido apreciada desde muy antiguo por ser tenaz, resistente y flexible, especialmente para la fabricación de arcos. El artefacto de madera más antiguo conocido es una lanza de tejo del Paleolítico.
