Wiki - Meganebashi (眼鏡橋) or Spectacles Bridge, over the Nakashima River (中島川) was built in Nagasaki in 1634 by the Japanese monk Mokusu of Kofukuji Temple. It is said to be the oldest stone arch bridge in Japan and has been designated as an Important Cultural Property. It received the nickname "Spectacles Bridge" because its two arches and their reflection in the water create the image of a pair of spectacles. On July 23, 1982, a disastrous deluge washed away six of the ten stone bridges over the Nakashima River. Meganebashi was badly damaged but fortunately almost all the original stones were retrieved and the bridge was restored to its original appearance.

The farmhouse Poggio Amorelli owned by the couple Adriana and Marco Mazzarrini is located in one of the most beautiful area in Chianti, near to the village of Castellina in Chianti and one of part of the wineyards are also in Maremma, near the village of Magliana in Tuscany.
It embraces 40 hectars land; 15 hectars of wineyard specialized in the production of Chianti Classico DOCG, Gallo Nero and of Morellino di Scansano DOCG.
The Wine production started in 1987, but only in 1995, with the restoration of the wine cellar and with the change in equipments for the wine production, the products started in receiving awards for its quality.
The wines are sold both on the national market as also in foreign countries, majority in Germany and USA. The aim of the Mazzarrini family is to grow in quality and not in quantity, to maintain the characteristics and the management of the family owned company, the only peculiarity to be different in a global market that push towards uniformity of traditions and tastes.

St Mary's Abbey, Melrose is a partly ruined monastery of the Cistercian order in Melrose, Roxburghshire, in the Scottish Borders. It was founded in 1136 by Cistercian monks at the request of King David I of Scotland and was the chief house of that order in the country until the Reformation. It was headed by the abbot or commendator of Melrose. Today the abbey is maintained by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument.
The east end of the abbey was completed in 1146. Other buildings in the complex were added over the next 50 years. The abbey was built in the Gothic manner and in the form of a St. John's Cross. A considerable portion of the abbey is now in ruins. A structure dating from 1590 is maintained as a museum open to the public.
Alexander II and other Scottish kings and nobles are buried at the abbey. A lead container believed to hold the embalmed heart of Robert the Bruce was found in 1921 below the Chapter House site; it was found again in a 1998 excavation. This was documented in records of his death. The rest of his body is buried in Dunfermline Abbey.
The abbey is known for its many carved decorative details, including likenesses of saints, dragons, gargoyles and plants. On one of the abbey's stairways is an inscription by John Morow, a master mason, which says, Be halde to ye hende ("Keep in mind, the end, your salvation"). This has become the motto of the town of Melrose.

Le Mont-Saint-Michel is an island commune in Normandy, France. It is located about one kilometre (0.6 miles) off the country's northwestern coast, at the mouth of the Couesnon River near Avranches and is 100 hectares (247 acres) in size. As of 2009, the island has a population of 44.[1]
The island has held strategic fortifications since ancient times and since the 8th century AD has been the seat of the monastery from which it draws its name. The structural composition of the town exemplifies the feudal society that constructed it: on top, God, the abbey and monastery; below, the great halls; then stores and housing; and at the bottom, outside the walls, houses for fishermen and farmers.
Its unique position — on an island just 600 metres from land — made it accessible at low tide to the many pilgrims to its abbey, but defensible as an incoming tide stranded, drove off, or drowned would-be assailants. The Mont remained unconquered during the Hundred Years' War; a small garrison fended off a full attack by the English in 1433.[2] The reverse benefits of its natural defence were not lost on Louis XI, who turned the Mont into a prison. Thereafter the abbey began to be used more regularly as a jail during the Ancien Régime.

Albarracín - Teruel - España
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albarracín
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Albarracín es un municipio y localidad español del suroeste de la provincia de Teruel, en la comunidad autónoma de Aragón. Cuenta con una población de 1006 habitantes. La localidad es Monumento Nacional desde 1961; posee la Medalla de Oro al mérito en las Bellas Artes de 1996, y se encuentra propuesta por la Unesco para ser declarada Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la belleza e importancia de su patrimonio histórico.
Se encuentra situada cerca de la antigua ciudad romana de Lobetum. Los árabes llamaron al lugar Alcartam que se derivaría del antiguo topónimo de Ercávida, pasando a denominarse más tarde como Aben Razin, nombre de una familia bereber de donde se derivaría su nombre actual. Otros opinan que el término «Albarracín» derivaría del celta alb, 'montaña', y ragin, 'viña', 'uva' o del antropónimo Razin.4
Sin duda el topónimo procede de Ibn (ben) hijo de Razin (reyes taifas de Albarracín desde la fitna hasta Ibn Mardanís, rey Lobo de Murcia. Es decir, el lugar de los hijos de Razin, aunque hasta el siglo xix su nombre oficial es Ciudad de Santa María de Albarracín, denominándose en época islámica Santa María de Oriente.
El casco antiguo se encuentra construido sobre las faldas de una montaña, rodeada casi en su totalidad por el río Guadalaviar. Al norte se encuentra la sierra de Albarracín, y al sur los montes Universales. Parte de su término municipal está ocupado por el Paisaje protegido de los Pinares de Rodeno.
En los alrededores nacen los ríos Guadalaviar, Tajo, Júcar, Cabriel y Jiloca.

Albarracín - Teruel - Spain

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Albarracín (Spanish pronunciation: [alβaraˈθin]) is a Spanish town, in the province of Teruel, part of the autonomous community of Aragon. According to the 2007 census (INE), the municipality had a population of 1075 inhabitants. Albarracín is the capital of the mountainous Sierra de Albarracín Comarca
Albarracín is surrounded by stony hills and the town was declared a Monumento Nacional in 1961. The many red sandstone boulders and cliffs surrounding Albarracín make it a popular rock climbing location, particularly for boulderers.
The town is named for the Hawwara Berber dynasty of the Banu Razin which was their capital from the early eleventh century until it was taken by the Almoravids in 1104.
From 1167 to 1300, Albarracín was an independent lordship known as the Sinyoría d'Albarrazín which was established after the partition of the Taifa of Albarracín under the control of Pedro Ruiz de Azagra. It was eventually conquered by Peter III of Aragon in 1284, and the ruling family, the House of Azagra was deposed. The last person to actually hold the title of Señor de Albarracín was Juan Núñez I de Lara, although his son, Juan Núñez II de Lara continued on as the pretender to the title until 1300 when the city and its lands were officially incorporated into the Kingdom of Aragon.

Loughrigg Tarn is a small, natural lake in the Lake District, Cumbria, England. It is situated north of Windermere, just north of the village of Skelwith Bridge, and at the foot of Loughrigg Fell. "Loughrigg Tarn" is a bit of a tautology, since "loughrigg" means "ridge of the lough (lake)" and "tarn" is also the name of a body of water.
Loughrigg Tarn was a favoured place of William Wordsworth, who, in his Epistle to Sir George Howland Beaumont Bart, likened it to “Diana’s Looking-glass... round, clear and bright as heaven," in reference to Lake Nemi, the mirror of Diana in Rome

La Plaza de España - Sevilla
es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaza_de_Espa%C3%B1a_(Sevilla)
La Plaza de España es un conjunto arquitectónico enclavado en el parque de María Luisa de la ciudad de Sevilla (España). Fue proyectada por el arquitecto Aníbal González. Se levantó entre 1914 y 1929 como una de las construcciones principales de la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929. Constituye el edificio más grande de todos los que se levantaron en la ciudad durante el siglo XX, comparable a las otras dos construcciones históricas destacadas de los extramuros de la ciudad, que son el hospital de las Cinco Llagas (siglo XVI) y la Real Fábrica de Tabacos (siglo XVIII).
...
La plaza tiene grandes dimensiones (170 metros de diámetro) y forma semi-elíptica, que simboliza el abrazo de España a sus antiguos territorios americanos, y mira hacia el río Guadalquivir, como recorrido a seguir hacia América.
Su superficie total es de 50 000 m² cuadrados aproximadamente, de los que 19 000 están edificados y los 31 000 restantes son espacio libre. Está bordeada por un canal que recorre 515 m y es atravesado por cuatro puentes. Los edificios que envuelven la plaza se estructuran en un edificio central, alas con edificaciones intermedias que compensan una excesiva longitud y torres en los extremos. Esta planta responde de forma muy cercana al esquema formal del tipo de villa palladiana con alas curvas, como la Villa Badoer de Fratta Polesine o Villa Trissino en Meledo, mostradas por el arquitecto italiano Andrea Palladio en sus Cuatro libros de la arquitectura, que Aníbal González conocía.
La construcción está realizada con ladrillo visto y cuenta con una amplia decoración de cerámica. Los techos de la galería de la plaza cuentan artesonados de madera que se sostienen con columnas de mármol. Los respaldos de los bancos y algunas farolas están realizadas en hierro forjado.
Los medallones con efigies de españoles ilustres, las columnas marmóreas y los artesonados dan al conjunto un ambiente renacentista. Según los escritos de Aníbal González su inspiración para diseñar la plaza había sido el Renacimiento español, aportándole el arquitecto sevillano nuevos elementos modernos.13 Las dos torres que flanquean la plaza, que proporcionan un ambiente de estilo barroco, miden 74 metros de altura.
Torre Sur con la ría.
La fuente central, obra de Vicente Traver, ha sido muy cuestionada porque rompe la rotundidad de vacío de la plaza. El canal que contiene es cruzado por 4 puentes que representan los 4 antiguos reinos de España (León, Castilla, Aragón y Navarra).
En las paredes de la plaza se encuentra una serie de 48 bancos que representan, por orden alfabético, cuarenta y seis provincias españolas peninsulares (todas excepto Sevilla) y los dos archipiélagos (Canarias y Baleares), con su escudo, un mapa y un paño de azulejo pisano con hechos históricos destacados de ese territorio. Los bancos se encuentran divididos en cuatro tramos, y al principio y final de cada uno, se encuentra un paño de azulejo relativo a la provincia de Sevilla. Los bancos tienen, también, a los lados, dos pequeñas torres con anaqueles que han sido usados en alguna ocasión para colocar libros.14
Otros detalles destacables son sus múltiples relieves realizados por el escultor Pedro Navia:
Seis ventanas renacentistas.
El escudo de Sevilla que adorna las puertas de Navarra y Aragón.
Las 24 águilas imperiales con el escudo de Carlos I.
Los 48 medallones con la efigie de personajes ilustres sobre cada arco que comprende cada provincia.
Los cuatro heraldos de tres metros de altura, que representan a los antiguos reinos y flanquean las dos torres.

Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares - Sevilla
El Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de la ciudad de Sevilla (Andalucía, España) está localizado en la plaza de América del parque de María Luisa. Al otro lado de la plaza se encuentra el Museo Arqueológico. Fue el pabellón de Arte Antiguo de la Exposición Iberoamericana de 1929.
Fue planteado como pabellón de Industrias, Manufacturas y Artes Decorativas. Finalmente, se le llamó pabellón de Arte Antiguo e Industrias Artísticas. Se trata de un edificio proyectado en 1913 y construido en 1914 por el arquitecto Aníbal González, autor también de los otros edificios levantados en la misma plaza de América. Es de ladrillo visto con motivos decorativos de cerámica. Por su estilo arquitectónico, fue conocido como el pabellón Mudéjar.
En principio constaba de dos plantas sobre una cámara de aireación para evitar la humedad. Se realiza una mejora durante la década de 1960 en la planta principal, que tenía más de doce metros de altura, y se dividió con una planta artificial (corresponde a la planta primera) por el arquitecto Antonio Delgado y Roig. En 1972 se unen las plantas con una gran escalera de caracol que diseña el arquitecto José Galnares Sagastizábal, trabajo que realiza después de que la construcción fuese designada para albergar el museo por el Decreto de Creación del Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares de Sevilla, con fecha de 23 de marzo de 1972, constituido como una sección del Museo de Bellas Artes.
Sus funciones como museo se desarrollan desde el 4 de marzo de 1973, fecha en que abre sus puertas al público.

Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville
The Museum of Arts and Popular Customs of Seville (Spanish: Museo de Artes y Costumbres Populares) is a museum in Seville, Andalusia, Spain, located in the María Luisa Park, across the Plaza de América from the Provincial Archeological Museum.
The museum occupies the Mudéjar Pavilion (Pabellón Mudéjar) designed by Aníbal González and built in 1914. It served as an art pavilion, the Pabellón de Arte Antiguo, for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929, when Aníbal González had the opportunity to design several additional permanent buildings for the plaza. The exterior is ceramic over brick, and has three doors with archivolts adorned with glazed tiles (azulejos).[citation needed]
The building originally consisted of two stories over an aeration chamber (necessary because of the humidity). In the 1960s, the main floor, originally over 12 metres (39 ft) high, was divided in two, with an intermediate level added by architect Delgado Roig. In 1972, as part of the preparations for the current museum, the various stories of the building were connected by a grand spiral staircase designed by José Galnares Sagastizábal.
The museum was established by a decree of 23 March 1972, initially as a section of the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville. It opened its doors to the public 4 March 1973.[2] For the next seven years, the museum fell under the responsibility of the Ministry of Education and Science, but the city government occupied more than half of the poorly maintained building. Neither institution took full responsibility. This situation led to a series of temporary closures. In 1976, the electric bill could not be paid, and the museum had to be shut until it could get power again. In 1979, heavy rains damaged the interior.

The Arles Amphitheatre (French: Arènes d'Arles) is a Roman amphitheatre in the southern French town of Arles. This two-tiered Roman amphitheatre is probably the most prominent tourist attraction in the city of Arles, which thrived in Roman times. The pronounced towers jutting out from the top are medieval add-ons.
Built in 90 AD, the amphitheatre was capable of seating over 20,000 spectators, and was built to provide entertainment in the form of chariot races and bloody hand-to-hand battles. Today, it draws large crowds for bullfighting during the Feria d'Arles as well as plays and concerts in summer.

Kaikoura is a town on the east coast of the South Island of New Zealand. The Kaikoura Peninsula extends into the sea south of the town, and the resulting upwelling currents bring an abundance of marine life from the depths of the nearby Hikurangi Trench. The town owes its origin to this effect, since it developed as a centre for the whaling industry. The name Kaikoura means 'meal of crayfish' (kai - food/meal, kōura - crayfish) and the crayfish industry still plays a role in the economy of the region. However Kaikoura has now become a popular tourist destination, mainly for whale watching (the sperm whale watching is perhaps the best and most developed in the world) and swimming with or near dolphins.

Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand and the seat of the Canterbury Region.
The Peacock Fountain was bought by the Christchurch Beautifying Society from money bequeathed by John Thomas Peacock, a trader, politician and philanthropist. The fountain was unveiled in 1911, moved to a new location some years later, and put into storage in 1949. After a $270,000 renovation, it was commissioned again in 1996, in its third location in the Christchurch Botanic Gardens. It has an elaborate colour scheme and is a much photographed tourist attraction.

The Royal Exhibition Building is a World Heritage Site-listed building in Melbourne, Australia, completed in 1880. It was built to host the Melbourne International Exhibition in 1880–81 and later hosted (in the Western annex) the opening of the first Parliament of Australia in 1901. Throughout the 20th century smaller sections and wings of the building were subject to demolition and fire; however, the main building, known as the Great Hall, survived.
It received restoration throughout the 1990s and in 2004 became the first building in Australia to be awarded UNESCO World Heritage status, being one of the last remaining major 19th-century exhibition buildings in the world. It is the world's most complete surviving site from the International Exhibition movement 1851–1914. It sits adjacent to the Melbourne Museum and is the largest item in Museum Victoria's collection. Today, the building hosts various exhibitions and other events and is closely tied with events at the Melbourne Museum. Architect was Joseph Reed.

Foro Romano
El Foro Romano (en latín, Forum Romanum, aunque los romanos se referían a él comúnmente como Forum Magnum o simplemente Forum) era el foro de la ciudad de Roma, es decir, la zona central —semejante a las plazas centrales en las ciudades actuales— donde se encuentran las instituciones de gobierno, de mercado y religiosas. Al igual que hoy en día, era donde tenían lugar el comercio, los negocios, la prostitución, la religión y la administración de justicia. En él se situaba el hogar comunal.
Series de restos de pavimento muestran que sedimentos erosionados desde las colinas circundantes ya estaban elevando el nivel del foro en la primera época de la República. Originalmente había sido un terreno pantanoso, que fue drenado por los Tarquinios mediante la Cloaca Máxima. Su pavimento de travertino definitivo, que aún puede verse, data del reinado de César Augusto.
Actualmente es famoso por sus restos, que muestran elocuentemente el uso de los espacios urbanos durante el Imperio romano. El Foro Romano incluye los siguientes monumentos, edificios y demás ruinas antiguas importantes:
Templo de Cástor y Pólux
Templo de Rómulo
Templo de Saturno
Templo de Vesta
Casa de las Vestales
Templo de Venus y Roma
Templo de César
Basílica Emilia
Basílica Julia
Arco de Septimio Severo
Arco de Tito
Rostra (plural de rostrum), la tribuna desde donde los políticos daban sus discursos a los ciudadanos romanos.
Curia Julia, sede del Senado.
Basílica de Majencio y Constantino
Tabulario
Templo de Antonino y Faustina
Regia
Templo de Vespasiano y Tito
Templo de la Concordia
Templo de Jano
Un camino procesional, la Vía Sacra, cruza el Foro Romano conectándolo con el Coliseo. Al final del Imperio perdió su uso cotidiano quedando como lugar sagrado.
El último monumento construido en el Foro fue la Columna de Focas. Durante la Edad Media, aunque la memoria del Foro Romano persistió, los edificios fueron en su mayor parte enterrados bajo escombros y su localización, la zona entre el monte Capitolino y el Coliseo, fue designada Campo Vaccinio o ‘campo bovino’. El regreso del papa Urbano V desde Aviñón en 1367 despertó un creciente interés por los monumentos antiguos, en parte por su lección moral y en parte como cantera para construir nuevos edificios. Se extrajo gran cantidad de mármol para construcciones papales (en el Vaticano principalmente) y para cocer en hornos creados en el mismo foro para hacer cal. Miguel Ángel expresó en muchas ocasiones su oposición a la destrucción de los restos. Artistas de finales del siglo XV dibujaron las ruinas del Foro, los anticuarios copiaron inscripciones desde el siglo XVI y se comenzó una excavación profesional a finales del siglo XVIII. Un cardenal tomó medidas para drenarlo de nuevo y construyó el barrio Alessadrine sobre él. No obstante, la excavación de Carlo Fea, quien empezó a retirar los escombros del Arco de Septimio Severo en 1803, y los arqueólogos del régimen napoleónico marcaron el comienzo de la limpieza del Foro, que no fue totalmente excavado hasta principios del siglo XX.
En su estado actual, se muestran juntos restos de varios siglos, debido a la práctica romana de construir sobre ruinas más antiguas.

The Roman Forum
The Roman Forum, also known by its Latin name Forum Romanum (Italian: Foro Romano), is a rectangular forum (plaza) surrounded by the ruins of several important ancient government buildings at the center of the city of Rome. Citizens of the ancient city referred to this space, originally a marketplace, as the Forum Magnum, or simply the Forum.
For centuries the Forum was the center of day-to-day life in Rome: the site of triumphal processions and elections; the venue for public speeches, criminal trials, and gladiatorial matches; and the nucleus of commercial affairs. Here statues and monuments commemorated the city's great men. The teeming heart of ancient Rome, it has been called the most celebrated meeting place in the world, and in all history.Located in the small valley between the Palatine and Capitoline Hills, the Forum today is a sprawling ruin of architectural fragments and intermittent archaeological excavations attracting 4.5 million or more sightseers yearly.
Many of the oldest and most important structures of the ancient city were located on or near the Forum. The Roman Kingdom's earliest shrines and temples were located on the southeastern edge. These included the ancient former royal residence, the Regia (8th century BC), and the Temple of Vesta (7th century BC), as well as the surrounding complex of the Vestal Virgins, all of which were rebuilt after the rise of imperial Rome.
Other archaic shrines to the northwest, such as the Umbilicus Urbis and the Vulcanal (Shrine of Vulcan), developed into the Republic's formal Comitium (assembly area). This is where the Senate—as well as Republican government itself—began. The Senate House, government offices, tribunals, temples, memorials and statues gradually cluttered the area.
Over time the archaic Comitium was replaced by the larger adjacent Forum and the focus of judicial activity moved to the new Basilica Aemilia (179 BC). Some 130 years later, Julius Caesar built the Basilica Julia, along with the new Curia Julia, refocusing both the judicial offices and the Senate itself. This new Forum, in what proved to be its final form, then served as a revitalized city square where the people of Rome could gather for commercial, political, judicial and religious pursuits in ever greater numbers.
Eventually much economic and judicial business would transfer away from the Forum Romanum to the larger and more extravagant structures (Trajan's Forum and the Basilica Ulpia) to the north. The reign of Constantine the Great saw the construction of the last major expansion of the Forum complex—the Basilica of Maxentius (312 AD). This returned the political center to the Forum until the fall of the Western Roman Empire almost two centuries later.

The Roman Forum - Rome - Italy
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Forum
The Roman Forum (in Latin, Forum Romanum, although the Romans referred to it commonly as Forum Magnum or simply Forum) was the forum of the city of Rome, that is, the central zone - similar to the central squares in modern cities - where the government, market and religious institutions are located. As today, it was where commerce, business, prostitution, religion, and the administration of justice took place. It stood the communal home.
Series of pavement remnants show that sediments eroded from the surrounding hills were already raising the level of the forum in the early days of the Republic. Originally it had been a swampy terrain, that was drained by the Tarquinios by means of the Maximum Sewer. Its definitive travertine pavement, which can still be seen, dates from the reign of Caesar Augustus.
Today it is famous for its remains, which eloquently show the use of urban spaces during the Roman Empire.
The Roman Forum includes the following important ancient monuments, buildings and ruins:
Temple of Castor and Pollux
Temple of Romulus
Temple of Saturn
Temple of Vesta
House of the Vestals
Temple of Venus and Rome
Temple of Caesar
Basilica Emilia
Basilica Julia
Arch of Septimius Severus
Arch of Titus
Rostra (plural of rostrum), the platform from which politicians gave their speeches to Roman citizens.
Julia Curia, seat of the Senate.
Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine
Tabular
Temple of Antonino and Faustina
Regia
Temple of Vespasian and Titus
Temple of Concord
Temple of Janus

es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palacio_de_Carlos_V
El palacio de Carlos V es una construcción renacentista situada en la colina de la Alhambra de la ciudad española de Granada, en Andalucía. Desde 1958, es sede del Museo de Bellas Artes de Granada y, desde 1994, también es sede del Museo de la Alhambra.
La iniciativa para la construcción del palacio partió del emperador Carlos Vnota 1 a partir de su boda con Isabel de Portugal, celebrada en Sevilla en 1526. Tras el enlace, la pareja residió varios meses en la Alhambra, quedando profundamente impresionado por los Palacios nazaríes, dejando encargada la construcción del nuevo palacio con la intención de establecer su residencia en la Alhambra granadina.1
Ya los Reyes Católicos habían habilitado salas después de 1492, pero la intención de Carlos era la de dotarse de una residencia estable a la medida de un emperador. El proyecto fue asignado a Pedro Machuca. En una España en la que el estilo imperante era el plateresco, y que no se había despegado totalmente del gótico, Machuca construyó un palacio que corresponde estilísticamente al manierismo, estilo que estaba dando sus primeros pasos en Italia. Aún aceptando las versiones que sitúan a Machuca en los talleres de Miguel Ángel, cuando comienzan las obras del Palacio en 1527 éste no había realizado todavía lo más representativo de su producción arquitectónica.
El edificio se levantó en el corazón de la Alhambra musulmana, en un extremo del patio de los Arrayanes y para su construcción fue preciso derribar un pabellón opuesto a la torre de Comares. Este hecho, que ha sido objeto de crítica y polémica, hay que entenderlo en el contexto de su época: el Palacio de Carlos I no significó tanto la destrucción de parte de la Alhambra como la garantía de supervivencia del resto. En unos tiempos en que lo más habitual era la destrucción total de palacios y templos de los pueblos sometidos, la sensibilidad de los reyes cristianos ante la belleza incontestable de la Alhambra supuso la necesidad de disfrutarla desde dentro y, por ende, de conservarla.
El dominio del lenguaje clásico que demuestra Machuca llega a subvertirlo conscientemente: esto nada tiene que ver con otras obras españolas de la época, en su mayoría fundamentadas en concepciones locales. Su influencia fue muy limitada, por incomprendida: quedarían muchos años hasta que Juan Bautista de Toledo y Juan de Herrera llegaran a las altas cotas de clasicismo del monasterio de El Escorial.
Fachada oeste
Desde 1572, con la rebelión morisca de las Alpujarras, se ralentizaron las obras que quedaron interrumpidas definitivamente en 1637, con los muros y bóvedas concluidos, a falta de cubrir aguas.
Durante la guerra de la Independencia, el ejército francés convirtió el palacio en almacén de artillería, esa misma función se mantuvo cuando las tropas españolas se hicieron con el edificio, que guardaba en su interior gran cantidad de pólvora, balas y carbón piedra. La permanencia de los explosivos suponía un grave peligro para el palacio y para toda la Alhambra. Casi veinte años después de la guerra, el viajero y escritor inglés Samuel Edward Cook escribiría hacia 1828: "El Palacio de Carlos V, aún se usa como polvorín; se encuentra sin pararrayos y la sola chispa de un rayo podría destruir los restos de este interesante edificio y probablemente toda la Alhambra". En 1832, se evacuó por fin el palacio. El estado de la construcción entonces, según relataba el gobernador, era lastimoso y consideraba un milagro que no se hubiera desplomado.
Las obras se terminaron a partir de 1930. Desde 1958, el palacio es sede del Museo de Bellas Artes de Granada, que cuenta con piezas singulares como un famoso bodegón de Juan Sánchez Cotán y varios ejemplos de Alonso Cano. La decisión de trasladar aquí el viejo museo, fundado en 1839, se adoptó en 1941 aunque ya se había acordado en 1914.Tras unas obras de reforma, en enero de 2008 se reabrió el museo. Desde 1994, también es sede del Museo de la Alhambra.
La planta del palacio la conforma un cuadrado de 63 metros de lado con un patio circular inscrito en su interior. Esta disposición, principal rasgo manierista del palacio, no tiene precedentes en la arquitectura del Renacimiento, y sitúa la construcción en lo que se considera la vanguardia artística del momento. El edificio consta de dos niveles: el bajo es de orden toscano completamente almohadillado, en cuyas pilastras se insertan grandes anillas de bronce decoradas.
El piso superior es de orden jónico y sus pilastras alternadas con vanos adintelados provistos de frontón. Las dos fachadas principales ostentan sendas portadas de piedra de Sierra Elvira. El patio circular también muestra dos pisos. El inferior está presidido por una columnata dórica de piedra pudinga con un entablamento muy ortodoxo, formado por triglifos y metopas con motivos de guirnaldas y bucráneos.
El piso superior lo forma una columnata jónica, más ligera, con entablamento liso. Esta estructura general del patio muestra un claro conocimiento de la arquitectura imperial romana, y se encuadraría en el más puro Renacimiento de no ser por su disposición curva, que provoca en el espectador desconcierto cuando se penetra por sus fachadas principales, y supedita los espacios interiores y escaleras a la idea generatriz. Más tarde, Miguel Ángel y Palladio construirán edificios con soluciones análogas, bajo la etiqueta de manierismo.

The Palace of Charles V is a Renaissance building in Granada, southern Spain, located on the top of the hill of the Assabica, inside the Nasrid fortification of the Alhambra. The building has never been a home to a monarch and stood roofless until 1957.
The structure was commanded by Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor, who wished to establish his residence close to the Alhambra palaces. Although the Catholic Monarchs had already altered some rooms of the Alhambra after the conquest of the city in 1492, Charles V intended to construct a permanent residence befitting an emperor. The project was given to Pedro Machuca, an architect whose biography and influences are poorly understood. At the time, Spanish architecture was immersed in the Plateresque style, still with traces of Gothic origin. Machuca built a palace corresponding stylistically to Mannerism, a mode still in its infancy in Italy. The exterior of the building uses a typically Renaissance combination of rustication on the lower level and ashlar on the upper. Even if accounts that place Machuca in the atelier of Michelangelo are accepted, at the time of the construction of the palace in 1527, the latter had yet to design the majority of his architectural works.
The plan of the palace is a 17-metre (56 ft) high, 63-metre (207 ft) square containing an inner circular patio. This has no precedent in Renaissance architecture, and places the building in the avant-garde of its time. The palace has two floors (not counting mezzanine floors). The classical orders are in pilaster form except around the central doorways. On the exterior, the lower floor is in the Tuscan order, with the pilasters "blocked" by continuing the heavy rustication across them, while the upper storey uses the Ionic order, with elaborately pedimented lower windows below round windows. Both main façades emphasize the portals, made of stone from the Sierra Elvira.
The circular patio has also two levels. The lower consists of a Doric colonnade of conglomerate stone, with an orthodox classical entablature formed of triglyphs and metopes. The upper floor is formed by a stylized Ionic colonnade whose entablature has no decoration. This organisation of the patio shows a deep knowledge of Roman architecture, and would be framed in pure Renaissance style but for its curved shape, which surprises the visitor entering from the main façades. The interior spaces and the staircases are also governed by the combination of square and circle. Similar aesthetic devices would be developed in the following decades under the classification of Mannerism.
The palace was not completed, and remained roofless until the late twentieth century.

ΚΑΣΤΡΟ ΧΛΕΜΟΥΤΣΙ ΗΛΕΙΑΣ,ΠΕΛΟΠΟΝΝΗΣΟΣ
Το Κάστρο Χλεμούτσι είναι χτισμένο στην κορυφή του λόφου Χελωνάτα στο χωριό Κάστρο του Δήμου Ανδραβίδας-Κυλλήνης, στο δυτικότερο ακρωτήρι της Πελοποννήσου. Ιδρύθηκε από τον Γοδεφρείδο Α' Βιλλεαρδουίνο στο πρώτο μισό του 13ου αιώνα και αποτελεί ένα από τα σημαντικότερα και πιο καλοδιατηρημένα κάστρα της Ελλάδασς, εξαιρετικό δείγμα φρουριακής αρχιτεκτονικής της εποχής της Φραγκοκρατίας στην Πελοπόννησο.
CHLEMOUTSI CASTLE ELIS, PELOPONNESE-GREECE
Chlemoutsi Castle is built atop Chelonata Hill, on the westernmost promontory of the Peloponnese. Founded by Geoffrey de Villehardouin in the first half of the 13 century, it is one of the most important and best preserved castles in Greece, an excellemt example of defensive architecture of the Frankish period in the Peloponnese.
The iconic Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, as seen from Alcatraz.
"The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate, the one-mile-wide (1.6 km) strait connecting San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean. The structure links the U.S. city of San Francisco, California—the northern tip of the San Francisco Peninsula—to Marin County, carrying both U.S. Route 101 and California State Route 1 across the strait. It also carries pedestrian and bicycle traffic, and is designated as part of U.S. Bicycle Route 95. Recognized by the American Society of Civil Engineers as one of the Wonders of the Modern World, the bridge is one of the most internationally recognized symbols of San Francisco and California.
The idea of a fixed link between San Francisco and Marin had gained increasing popularity during the late 19th century, but it was not until the early 20th century that such a link became feasible. Joseph Strauss served as chief engineer for the project, with Leon Moisseiff, Irving Morrow and Charles Ellis making significant contributions to its design. The bridge opened to the public in 1937 and has undergone various retrofits and other improvement projects in the decades since.
The Golden Gate Bridge is described in Frommer's travel guide as "possibly the most beautiful, certainly the most photographed, bridge in the world." At the time of its opening in 1937, it was both the longest and the tallest suspension bridge in the world, titles it held until 1964 and 1998 respectively. Its main span is 1,280m and total height is 227m."
Boiga dendrophila melanota or malayan mangrove cat-eyed snakes are active at night. They move from trees, to the ground and in the water to find prey. They eat birds, frogs, fish and other small animals. They are black with yellow bands.

From Wiki: The motmots are a family of birds in the order coraciiformes, which also includes the kingfishers, bee-eaters and rollers. All extant motmots are restricted to woodland or forests in the Neotropics, and the largest are in Middle America. They have a colourful plumage and a relatively heavy bill. All except the tody motmot have relatively long tails that in some species have a distinctive racket-like tip. Motmots eat small prey such as insects and lizards, and will also take fruit. In Nicaragua and Costa Rica, motmots have been observed feeding on poison dart frogs. Motmot (and Jacamars) nest in cavity they dig like kingfishers and bee eaters.

Tirana is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Albania.
Tirana is located in the center of Albania and is enclosed by mountains and hills with Mount Dajt elevating on the east and a slight valley on the northwest overlooking the Adriatic Sea in the distance. Due to its location within the Plain of Tirana and the close proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, the city is particularly influenced by a Mediterranean seasonal climate. It is among the wettest and sunniest cities in Europe, with 2,544 hours of sun per year.
Tirana flourished as a city in 1614 but the region that today corresponds to the city's territory has been continuously inhabited since the Iron Age. The city's territory was inhabited by several Illyrian tribes but had no importance within Illyria. Indeed, it was annexed by Rome and became an integral part of the Roman Empire following the Illyrian Wars.

Die Gemeine Wegwarte oder Gewöhnliche Wegwarte (Cichorium intybus), auch Zichorie (von lateinisch cichorea), kurz auch Wegwarte (seltener Wegwart) genannt, ist eine Pflanzenart aus der Familie der Korbblütler (Asteraceae). Sie wächst in Mitteleuropa häufig an Wegrändern. Kulturformen sind Chicorée, Zuckerhut (Fleischkraut), Radicchio, Schnittzichorie und die Wurzelzichorie. Im Jahr 2020 war die Gemeine Wegwarte „Heilpflanze des Jahres“. Sie war zudem bereits 2005 „Gemüse des Jahres“ und 2009 „Blume des Jahres“ in Deutschland.
Wiki - Kinkaku-ji (金閣寺, lit. "Temple of the Golden Pavilion"), officially named Rokuon-ji (鹿苑寺, lit. "Deer Garden Temple"), is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan. The Golden Pavilion (金閣 Kinkaku) is a three-story building on the grounds of the Rokuon-ji temple complex. The top two stories of the pavilion are covered with pure gold leaf. The pavilion functions as a shariden (舎利殿), housing relics of the Buddha (Buddha's Ashes).
The Golden Pavilion is set in a magnificent Japanese strolling garden (回遊式庭園 kaiyū-shiki-teien, lit. a landscape garden in the go-round style). The location implements the idea of borrowing of scenery ("shakkei") that integrates the outside and the inside, creating an extension of the views surrounding the pavilion and connecting it with the outside world. The pavilion extends over a pond, called Kyōko-chi (鏡湖池 Mirror Pond), that reflects the building. The pond contains 10 smaller islands. The zen typology is seen through the rock composition, the bridges, and plants are arranged in a specific way to represent famous places in Chinese and Japanese literature.
