Architectural description
Architectural styleItalian Gothic.
The Abbey of Saint Galgano was a Cistercian Monastery found in the valley of the river Merse between the towns of Chiusdino and Monticiano, in the province of Siena, region of Tuscany, Italy. Presently, the roofless walls of the Gothic style 13th-century Abbey church still stand. Nearby are the chapel or Eremo or Rotonda di Montesiepi (1185), the tomb of Saint Galgano and the purported site of his death in 1181, the sword said to have been planted in the ground by Galgano and a chapel with frescoes by Ambrogio Lorenzetti.
History
The abbey formed around the site of the former hermitage of Galgano Guidotti (San Galgano), and construction of the church began around 1220, and was completed some six decades later. The abbey grew in wealth and became allied with the Republic of Siena. Monks from the abbey routinely served as Camarlinghi di Biccherna.
However within a century, the republic failed to protect it from roving condottieri, and John Hawkwood and his men despoiled the monastery beginning in 1363. By the end of the 14th-century, only the abbot remained in the monastery.
The impoverished and decaying abbey sputtered along for nearly four centuries. In 1786, the campanile fell, taking with it the roof of the church. The ruins were looted for building material. Some restorations occurred in the 19th and 20th; but the church remains only a magnificent shell among the wooded valley. The long tall nave with flechet windows and an apse rose window still stand. The abbey's chapter house and part of the scriptorium also remain.
The Rotonda chapel was restored in 1924 and retains its peculiar medieval shape, recalling imperfectly earlier Ancient Roman mausoleums.
Popular culture.

According to the Catholic Diocese of El Paso website, the San Elceario Mission, located in the town of San Elizario, Texas was founded by the Spanish in 1789 as a presidio or fort for Mexican troops stationed in the Mission Valley. The present Chapel was constructed in 1877 to replace the original chapel that had been destroyed by a flood. The one-story chapel is built in the traditional Spanish Mission style. Today, San Elceario Parish has 470 registered .

La ciudad de San Gabriel: cabecera cantonal de Montúfar, situada al norte del Ecuador, en la provincia fronteriza del Carchi a 2860 m.s.n.m., es llamada la "Ciudad de las siete colinas", debido a pequeñas elevaciones que rodean la urbe. También, el Ministerio de Turismo le denominó "Pueblo mágico del Ecuador", por su gente amable y trabajadora, por su belleza natural y por arquitectura tradicional.
Gracias amig@s por sus gentiles visitas, generosos comentarios o por señalarla entre sus favoritas,
The bronze statue of san Pietro is one of the most famous and most visited works of art in the basilica. The statue was made around the year 1300 by Arnolfo di Cambio.
Since 1605 it has stood in its current place on the right side of the nave of the enormous cathedral. Upon closer inspection, it is noticeable that the right foot of the figure is clearly damaged. This has to do with the fact that touching it would bring happiness and blessing.\
San Pietro is sitting on a marble chair. In his left hand he holds the keys of heaven, with his right hand he gives the blessing.

Dumbarton Bridge is the closer, San Mateo Bridge lies beyond it. That hill behind San Mateo Bridge is San Bruno, and San Francisco lies just to the right of it in this image, although there's not enough detail in this shot to really see much. Maybe a hint of the Twin Peaks radio mast, if you squint and hope.
