Town Hall

The Fortified Town in Fredrikstad, Norway was founded Sept 1567 by King Frederik II. It is very well preserved and worth a visit.
The neo-Gothic town hall building in Sulechów dates back to the 16th century. It was reconstructed several times and rebuilt (mainly due to fires). Each time his appearance and style were changed, the tower was added.
The most intense changes were made in the second half of 19th century, almost completely obliterating the original stylish features of the building. The last renovation works took place in 2009.

Znajdujący się na środku rynku w Sulechowie neogotycki budynek ratusza ma swoje początki w XVI wieku. Był kilkakrotnie przebudowywany i odbudowywany (głównie z powodu pożarów). Za każdym razem był zmieniany jego wygląd i styl, dobudowywano wieżę.
Najgruntowniejszych zmian dokonano w II połowie XIX wieku, niemal całkowicie zacierając pierwotne stylowe cechy obiektu. Ostatnie prace remontowe miały miejsce w 2009 roku.
Cascais is a coastal resort town in Portugal, just west of Lisbon. It’s known for its sandy beaches and busy marina. The old town is home to the medieval Nossa Senhora da Luz Fort and the Citadel Palace, a former royal retreat. Nearby is the whitewashed Nossa Senhora da Assunção church, with glazed azulejo tiles. Paula Rego House of Stories shows the Portuguese artist’s paintings in a modern building.
Czarnków is a town on the Noteć River, with a population of around 12,000. residents.
The first mentions of Czarnków come from the 12th century (chronicle of Gallus Anonymus), but it is probably a mistake or perhaps a forgery. The heart of the whole city was the Market Square. Wooden buildings were gradually replaced with brick buildings. The present urban layout of the city is historic and dates back to the Middle Ages. The buildings of the market square with the Town Hall date back to the 19th and 20th centuries, and the southern frontage is the Church of St. Mary Magdalene from the 16th century (visible in the photo). In the foreground, there is a sculpture of a historical figure, the medieval chronicler Jan of Czarnków.

Czarnków jest miastem nad rzeką Noteć, które liczy około 12 tys. mieszkańców.
Pierwsze wzmianki o Czarnkowie pochodzą z XII wieku (kronika Galla Anonima), ale jest to prawdopodobnie pomyłka lub być może fałszerstwo. Sercem całego miasta był Rynek. Drewniana zabudowa była stopniowo zastępowana budynkami murowanymi. Obecny układ urbanistyczny miasta jest zabytkowym i wywodzi się ze średniowiecza. Zabudowa rynku wraz z Ratuszem wywodzi się z XIX i XX wieku a południową pierzeję stanowi Kościół pw. Św. Marii Magdaleny z XVI wieku (widoczny na zdjęciu). Na pierwszym planie rzeźba historycznej postaci, średniowiecznego kronikarza Jana z Czarnkowa.
Inowrocław is a city with a population of almost 75,000. residents. One of the oldest Polish cities, founded in the years 1231–1267. Already in the 11th century, this area was quite a dense settlement complex, probably associated with the oldest salt works.
The strict city center is typical of towns founded in the Middle Ages. The central square is a rectangular market square with streets diverging from it. Most of the tenement houses existing at them date back to the 19th century. On the developed market square there is a modern fountain and a figure of Queen Jadwiga, the patron of Inowrocław.

Inowrocław jest miastem, które liczy prawie 75 tys. mieszkańców. Jedno z najstarszych miast polskich lokowane w latach 1231–1267. Już w XI wieku teren ten stanowił dość zwarty kompleks osadniczy, związany prawdopodobnie z najstarszą warzelnią soli.
Ścisłe centrum miasta jest typowe dla założonych w okresie średniowiecza miast. Centralnym placem jest prostokątny rynek, od którego odchodzą uliczki. Istniejące przy nich obecnie kamienice w większości pochodzą z XIX wieku. Na zagospodarowanej płycie rynku znajduje się nowoczesna fontanna oraz figura Królowej Jadwigi, która jest patronką Inowrocławia.

Unexpected shot as i drove through town and saw the light changing. A quick stop and then the sky lit up running around trying to find a good composition and then it was gone.
Sticking with my recent home area theme: looking over the Alnwick rooftops from the Summerseats path, just up the hill from our house.

The Andes run in three ridges down through Peru. This town lay in the valley after the first pass from the coast. The difference in climate and vegetation within just a few hours, passing from desert to lush green, was amazing...
Rønne, the Baltic island of Bornholm, October 19, 2022. To the left is not a bell tower, but a chimney mostly used when destroying irrelevant documents. I'm kidding.
Shot at F11 or F16. The town of Dunstable (Bedfordshire, UK) does have a longer history, but in its street layout it is of medieval origin and grew around the large 12th century Augustinian monastery of which the Priory Church St. Peter is the main survivor. There is also the 15th century gateway leading into what were the grounds of the monastery (now a park).
The iconic waterfront of Gdańsk Old Town, merchant houses, and centuries reflected on the Motława River.
The saturated blazes of September and October give way to the dullness and bleakness of November and the city takes on a hard, less welcoming nature. It's easier to feel more isolated and alone in the dull greys and browns of the second last month of the year. The light is weak, wan even, failing to warm, and illuminating with barely half of its Summertime intensity. The Sun itself barely seems to summon the energy to climb very high in the sky, merely arcing up just enough to create a perfunctory day.
As wont as it is to sadness and to resignation, November has it's own charms. These are more inward, more reflective. And in the midst of January's brutal severity, we forget to remember that for all her drab, dull, dim sameness, November would be quite welcome instead.

"The Town Hall of Augsburg (German: Augsburger Rathaus) is the administrative centre of Augsburg, Bavaria, Germany, and one of the most significant secular buildings of the Renaissance style north of the Alps. It was designed and built by Elias Holl, Stadtbaumeister (Master Builder of the town), in 1615–1624." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augsburg_Town_Hall
Castle town Hagi was designed in the Edo Period. This is one of the three streets near the former castle site. It used to be samurai warriors' residential district. The streets are very narrow since it was not assumed that cars would run on them when the town was built. I liked the way the white earthen walls, faded wooden board siding with battens, and the tiled roof on top of the walls looked slightly leaning and bending to the front and rear. They even looked like swaying.

This is a view of the steep narrow streets of the Old Town of Le Puy en Velay. After Muslim invasions forced a bishop to seek refuge there in the 6th century, Le Puy became a key pilgrimage center in France on the road to Santiago de Compostela.

Die Stadt Alcúdia liegt im Norden der spanischen Insel Mallorca. Sie ist vor allem für ihre Mittelmeerstrände bekannt, darunter die beliebte Playa de Alcúdia und die Playa de Muro in der weiten Bucht von Alcúdia. Die neogotische Kirche Sant Jaume ist Teil der restaurierten mittelalterlichen Stadtmauer. Diese umschließt die gut erhaltene Altstadt mit ihren engen Gassen und jahrhundertealten Bauten.
