Definitively completed in the Swabian period, the Cathedral of Cefalù, which became a World Heritage Site in 2015, can now also be visited in its towers.
Built starting in 1131, its Romanesque style is enriched by Arab influences, and its appearance is pure wonder.
It is also possible to climb its Norman towers, which are different from each other: one is the square-plan tower, with battlements in the shape of flames, which would symbolize the papal miter and the power of the Church; the other is the octagonal-plan tower with Ghibelline merlons which would instead pay homage to the royal crown and the temporal power.

Definitivamente completato in età sveva, il Duomo di Cefalù, divenuto dal 2015 Patrimonio dell’Umanità può essere ora visitato anche nelle sue torri.
Costruito a partire dal 1131, Il suo stile romanico è arricchito da influenze arabe, e il suo aspetto è pura meraviglia.
E’ possibile salire anche sulle sue torri normanne, diverse l’una dall’altra: una è la torre a pianta quadrata, con merli a forma di fiammelle, che simboleggerebbe la mitria papale e il potere della Chiesa; l’altra è la torre a pianta ottagonale con merli ghibellini che omaggerebbe invece la corona reale e il potere temporale.

Broadway Tower is a folly on Broadway Hill, near the large village of Broadway, in the English county of Worcestershire, at the second-highest point of the Cotswolds (after Cleeve Hill).

The 'Saxon' tower was the brainchild of Capability Brown and designed by James Wyatt in 1794 in the form of a castle, and built for Lady Coventry in 1798–1799. The tower was built on a beacon hill, where beacons were lit on special occasions. Lady Coventry wondered whether a beacon on this hill could be seen from her house in Worcester — about 22 miles (35 km) away — and sponsored the construction of the folly to find out. Indeed, the beacon could be seen clearly.

So here it goes, my first ever capture of Paris recently at the Eiffel Tower. This place is truly a piece of art standing at 324 meters tall.
Let me know what you think of this composition as it wasn't a dramatic weather out there in Paris, France but did my best to get some details out.
