Island Navigation Light!

A bench around the base of
The Isle of Whithorn Light (also known as Isle Head Lighthouse or locally as The Cairn) is a small, historic navigation beacon located on the headland at the tip of the Isle of Whithorn, a picturesque coastal village in Dumfries and Galloway, southwestern Scotland. This is one of the most southerly points in Scotland, overlooking the Solway Firth and the Irish Sea.
The structure is a distinctive square, white-painted stone tower, roughly 4 meters (about 13 feet) tall, with a modern lantern on top. It serves as a light beacon for mariners, characterised by a flashing white light (with red sectors) every 3 seconds and a focal height of around 20 meters.

Historians suggest the original structure dates back possibly to the medieval period or before the 18th century, originally perhaps featuring a fire lit on the roof for basic navigation. HBM!

Marwell Hall is a medieval building originally built in around 1320, it is situated near Winchester. Although parts of this were not built until 1860 the core of the building remains the same.

Historisches Rathaus - Lüneburg - 3 PIP's

Das historische Rathaus Lüneburgs wurde ab 1230 errichtet. Es vereint verschiedene Stile und ist eines der größten Rathäuser Norddeutschlands. Es spiegelt den einstigen Reichtum der Stadt durch das Salzmonopol wider. Das Gebäudeensemble besteht aus mehreren Gebäudekomponenten der norddeutschen Backsteingotik. Nach der Beschädigung der gotischen Fassade zum Marktplatz 1703 wurde diese bis 1720 durch eine barocke Fassade ersetz.

Die vorspringenden Mauerwerksteile sind mit zehn aus Sandstein gearbeiteten und teilweise vergoldeten Figuren geschmückt. Diese stellen verschiedene Tugenden oder historische Persönlichkeiten dar. Zu sehen sind Severitas (die Strenge), Veritas (die Wahrheit), Clementia, Gloria triumphans, Prudentia, Iustinianus I., Karl der Große, Karl V., Friedrich II. und Friedrich der Große.

Auf dem Springbrunnen des Lüneburger Marktplatzes wacht die Göttin Luna mit Pfeil und Bogen über den historischen Stadtkern.

Doch ihre Anmut konnte sie nicht vor Streichen und Diebstahl bewahren. Das Original der Figur aus dem Jahr 1532 wurde 1970 gestohlen und eingeschmolzen. 1972 wurde eine Nachbildung angefertigt. 2014 und 2017 entwaffneten Unbekannte die Göttin.

Scheduled monument!

Trumpan, Waternish,Isle of Skye,

Trumpan Church is a ruined medieval church located on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. In 1578, the church was the site of a brutal massacre of the Clan MacLeod by Clan Macdonald, (also known as Clan Ranald) of South Uist. The attack was in retaliation for the massacre of hundreds of members of Clan Macdonald on the island of Eigg the previous year. The church and surrounding graveyard contain late medieval carved gravestones. (wikipedia)

In its early says it was known as (St Conan’s Church). www.visit-waternish.co.uk/listings/trumpan

Memories of Tuscany: Piazza Duomo Archways

You have to be in San Gimignano to really appreciate the medieval beauty and history of this place. Here we are in perhaps the very heart of this walled town, at the 11th c Piazza Duomo. The steps belong to the Bassilica S.Maria Assunta and the building on the left is the Town Hall (Comune San Gimignano) and I am under the archway of a big towered building called Torre Rognosa.
It is warm and bright here; hence many of the visitors seek these squares for a quiet place to relax in the shade. The town has many stoned archways; here we can see four alone.

At Borgo a Mozzana, Tuscany, Italy. Also known as "Ponte del Diavolo". Constructed during the era of the Countess Matilde di Canossa (1046-1115,) this medieval bridge is said to have been built with the aid of the devil himself.
