" To him who in the love of nature holds
Communion with her visible forms, she speaks
A various language; for his gayer hours
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile "

I read that the word Ghetto originated in Venice when in 1526 the Jewish community were compelled to live in this area. The entrances to the area had iron gates which, until recently were locked each evening. The Venetians would not allow the area to expand outwards, so buildings were extended upwards which resulted in the strange variety of buildings around the square.
I've also read that this Ghetto did not provide residential accommodation, but rather, office accommodation for the Jews money lending/laundering activities. I know not which is true.

Minusinsk - historical town in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Siberia, Russia
Visit of the Saviour Cathedral
The town name is a mixture of Turkic “min”, which means “thousand”, and Mongolian “us”, which means “river”. In 1739 on the Minusa river bank Minyusinskoe village was founded (later, Minusinskoe), which became the centre of South Siberia.
Until 1882 Minusinsk province was known as “Siberian Italy”, however, this reputation was not proved after the opening of a meteorological station. South Siberia is nice, but it is not the Apennines...
Minusinsk creek divides the town into two parts: the Northern old one, which keeps the features of a 19th century Siberian town, and the Southern new one, with modern neighbourhoods.
The historical part of the town bears the monument status; its housing scheme was approved in 1844. The architecture centrepiece of the Old Town is set by the decked bell tower and the dome of the Transfiguration Saviour Church (1803-1813, 1904); both of them are located near the embankment. Behind the church there was the main city square, called Gostinodvorskaya, which was surrounded with two-storey buildings. Even nowadays it is possible to see such samples of architecture as buildings of ex-Bazaar and ex-Poorshouse, rebuilt into some rows of messy shops, treasury strongrooms, office benches, several residential buildings: Wilner’s house, which is now ruined, and merchant Belova’s house (1854), which was the first stone-made building in town. Also, in the old part of Minusinsk there is a big number of wooden houses with a stone fundament.

Seen at Dewsbury Museum
The town's earliest roots date back to 627 AD when St Paulinus founded a Christian settlement on the banks of the River Calder. In the 1830s Patrick Bronté, father of the famous sisters, was curate in the town. Dewsbury developed rapidly in the industrial era with the expansion in textile manufacturing, particularly the innovative recycling of old cloth into new products such as blankets, rugs and heavy outerwear known as the shoddy trade.
Betty Boothroyd, a national figure in politics, was born in Dewsbury. She began a career as a dancer, became an MP and an MEP, and rose to become the first ever female Speaker of the House of Commons. She retired as Speaker in 2000.

Medieval Festival Opens at Sands Point Preserve on September 8-9, 15-16
Come September, the Sands Point Preserve great lawn and baronial Castlegould and Hempstead House provide the perfect backdrop for the annual Medieval Festival.
The popular weekend event, which features knights in shining armor, medieval archers and kings and queens, takes place this year on September 8-9 and 15-16, from 11 a.m.-5 p.m., announced Nassau County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi.
Each day, the colorful festival begins with a procession of the royal court to the viewing stands, followed by battles among knights in shining armor armed with swords, maces and battle axes. Visitors can also thrill to the sight of knights on horseback jousting on the lawn behind Hempstead House and enjoy exhibitions of archery skill by medieval bowmen (members of the public are also invited to try their hand at this ancient sport).
At the close of each day, there is a “storming of Castlegould” to free the captured queen, followed by a meeting of the Royal Court to determine the fate of the queen’s kidnappers.
Throughout the day, the historic atmosphere is enhanced with period entertainment, including instrumentalists, madrigal singers, a dance troupe and a traditional Maypole dance, as well as a medieval-style puppet show performed by noted puppeteer Fred Greenspan.
Other activities include a fashion show featuring the ornate costumes of lords and ladies, craftspeople demonstrating a variety of fine skills, and games for children and adults.
During the Medieval Festival, all visitors to the Sands Point Preserve pay the Festival admission of $7 for adults and $4 for children ages 4 to14 (those under 4 are free with a parent). The Falaise mansion and Hempstead House will be closed during Festival weekends.
