  • The Monastery of St. Katherine is the oldest continuously inhabited monastery in the World. Saint Catherine's Monastery, officially "Sacred Monastery of the God-Trodden Mount Sinai", lies on the Sinai Peninsula, at the mouth of a gorge at the foot of Mount Sinai, in the city of Saint Catherine, Egypt in the South Sinai Governorate. The monastery is controlled by the autonomous Church of Sinai, part of the wider Eastern Orthodox Church, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. <br />
Built between 548 and 565, the monastery is one of the oldest working Christian monasteries in the world. The site contains the world's oldest continually operating library, possessing many unique books including the Syriac Sinaiticus and, until 1859, the Codex Sinaiticus. According to tradition, Catherine of Alexandria was a Christian martyr sentenced to death on the breaking wheel. When this failed to kill her, she was beheaded. According to tradition, angels took her remains to Mount Sinai. Around the year 800, monks from the Sinai Monastery found her remains. <br />
Although it is commonly known as Saint Catherine's, the monastery's full official name is the Sacred Monastery of the God-Trodden Mount Sinai. The patronal feast of the monastery is the Feast of the Transfiguration. The monastery has become a favorite site of pilgrimage. The oldest record of monastic life at Sinai comes from the travel journal written in Latin by a woman named Egeria about 381–384. She visited many places around the Holy Land and Mount Sinai, where, according to the Old Testament, Moses received the Ten Commandments from God. The monastery was built by order of Emperor Justinian I (reigned 527–565), enclosing the Chapel of the Burning Bush (also known as "Saint Helen's Chapel") ordered to be built by Empress Consort Helena, mother of Constantine the Great, at the site where Moses is supposed to have seen the burning bush. The living bush on the grounds is purportedly the one seen by Moses. Structurally the monastery'

  • Telč is a town in southern Moravia, near Jihlava, in the Czech Republic.  The Gothic castle of Telč was built in the second half of the 14th century by the lords of Hradec. At the end of the 15th century the castle fortifications were strengthened and a new gate-tower built. In the middle of the 16th century the medieval castle no longer satisfied Renaissance nobleman Zachariáš of Hradec, who had the castle altered in the Renaissance style. The ground floor was vaulted anew, the façade decorated with sgraffito, and the state apartments and living quarters received stucco ornamentation together with trompe l'oeil and chiaroscuro paintings in 1553. The counter-reformation brought the Jesuits to the town, who built the church of Name of Jesus in 1666-1667, according to the plans of Domenico Orsi. The column of the Virgin and the fountain in the centre of the square date from the 18th century. The town was founded in the 13th century as a royal water fort on the crossroads of busy merchant routes between Bohemia, Moravia and Austria. <br />
The most significant sight is the town square, a unique complex of long urban plaza with well-conserved Renaissance and Baroque houses with high gables and arcades; since 1992 all of this has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Renaissance market place. Its triangular market place possesses great beauty and harmony as well as great cultural importance, surrounded as it is by intact and well-preserved Renaissance buildings with a dazzling variety of facades. The town is located near the south-western border between Moravia and Bohemia, Vysocina Region. The houses in the market place, with facades from various periods, are basically Renaissance and conform to a standard plan. In 1979 Werner Herzog filmed the movie Woyzeck in Telč.  The extensive castle complex in Telč is a real pearl of Moravian Renaissance architecture. Since 1992, along with the historic city center, it has been registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

  • Cecilienhof, site of the Potsdam Conference, just outside Berlin. The Potsdam Conference (German: Potsdamer Konferenz) was held at Cecilienhof, the home of Crown Prince Wilhelm, in Potsdam, occupied Germany, from 17 July to 2 August 1945. (In some older documents it is also referred to as the Berlin Conference of the Three Heads of Government of the USSR, USA and UK. The participants were the Soviet Union, the United Kingdom, and the United States, represented by Communist Party General Secretary Joseph Stalin, Prime Ministers Winston Churchill  and, later, Clement Attlee, and President Harry S. Truman.<br />
Stalin, Churchill, and Truman—as well as Attlee, who participated alongside Churchill while awaiting the outcome of the 1945 general election, and then replaced Churchill as Prime Minister after the Labour Party's defeat of the Conservatives—gathered to decide how to administer the defeated Nazi Germany, which had agreed to unconditional surrender nine weeks earlier, on 8 May (V-E Day). The goals of the conference also included the establishment of post-war order, peace treaty issues, and countering the effects of the war. (Wikip)

  • Karlsbroen (tsjekkisk Karlův most), den mest kjente broen over elven Vltava i Praha. Den ble bygget i Karl IVs regjeringstid. Bygget ble påbegynt i 1357 som erstatning for den eldre Judithbroen som ble ødelagt under flommen i 1342.<br />
<br />
Broen er bygget av böhmisk sandstein, og det sies at Karl IV ga ordre til bøndene rundt Praha om å levere ferske egg som så ble blandet i mørtelen for å gjøre konstruksjonen sterkere.<br />
Mot slutten av tredveårskrigen i 1648 foregikk det harde kamper mellom den svenske arméen og gamlebyens befolkning, da svenskene hadde slått seg til på den vestre bredden og forsøkte forgjeves å ta gamlebyen. Under kampene ble brotårnet på Gamlebysiden som vender ut mot elven ødelagt og restene av den gotiske dekorasjonen måtte fjernes etterpå.<br />
På slutten av 1600-tallet og begynnelsen av 1700-tallet fikk broen dagens utseende da det ble satt ut barokkstatuer på pilarene. Under den store flommen i 1774 ble fire pilarer ødelagt og selv om brospennene ikke falt ned, ble trafikken over broen begrenset i en periode.<br />
Også senere flommer tok hardt på broen, særlig 5. september 1890 hvor drivved og materialer og lignende tettet løpene mellom brospennene og demmet opp vannet. Det sterke presset førte til at to pilarer brøt sammen og andre fikk store skader. Ved en pilar falt to statuer, av Ignatius av Loyola og Frans Xavier falt i elven. Etter dette ble broen stengt i to år for reparasjon.<br />
<br />
Broen kom seg ganske uskadd gjennom den store flommen i 2002. Etter denne ble det imidlertid nødvendig å rehabilitere to av bropilarene og dette arbeidet avslørte at det var nødvendig med en større rehabilitering av hele broen. Dette ble bestemt i 2005 og påbegynt i 2007. Charles Bridge, a medieval stone arch bridge that crosses the Vltava river in Prague, Czech Republic. Its construction started in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV, and finished in the early 15th century. The bridge replaced the old Judith Bridge built 1158–1172 th
