He had big plans for the locality, gradually starting to realise the large-scale transformation of the valley into a summer resort, which became the spa and social centre of the period nobility. One of the most representative spas in Bohemia of the time was built on the left bank. Gradually, a staircase with a chateau, a theatre, a race track, spa houses, guest houses and Philosophers’ House with a library were constructed. The importance of the local spa already started to decline during the life of earl 艩pork and its destiny was definitely sealed after his death. Consequently, today there is practically nothing left from the buildings on the left bank except for the cascade staircase to the Elbe River. </i></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxYtGlxL-eYWzbN3a0X2IPRlFj3Mup3Lfqjxv6SjVmlbgCCbtaWs2Ko3TVs6RshJYE9QeB0oJr-BvX188b6XPhylhP3XfgudQ510YK8kwtYtwfLge75ntYuqRphZpH9Mep9MUxnOPB6zyW/s1600/004+-+C%25C3%25B3pia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="288" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxYtGlxL-eYWzbN3a0X2IPRlFj3Mup3Lfqjxv6SjVmlbgCCbtaWs2Ko3TVs6RshJYE9QeB0oJr-BvX188b6XPhylhP3XfgudQ510YK8kwtYtwfLge75ntYuqRphZpH9Mep9MUxnOPB6zyW/s400/004+-+C%25C3%25B3pia.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Foto © Petr Toman</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <i>However, the right bank of the Elbe River is much more interesting. In 1696, earl 艩pork decided to found a hospital for the old veterans from the surrounding area at his mansion. He had the hospital and the Holy Trinity Church and crypt of an earl built according to the project of Italian architect Giovanni Battista Alliprandi. The monumental space in front of the church’s frontage and hospital is decorated by sculptures made by the significant baroque sculptor Maty谩拧 Bernard Braun. The sculpture decoration was created from 1712 to 1731 and depicts the Allegory of Religion and a number of Virtues and Vices. </i></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <i>Nowadays, the Kuks complex serves as a historical museum with exhibitions of baroque art and development of medicine.

This one, however, is open air. The collection of statues and carved grottos in the middle of the woods is a little eerie: hermits, saints, headless bodies, and more than a few skulls.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Braun was assisted by members of his workshop who included some of the best late-Baroque sculptors in Bohemia. The group of Biblical and other scenes sculptures are cut into living rock.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> Due to various circumstances, only a torso has survived from the original complex and in spite of the toll taken by the elements over the years, still remains a unique example of Baroque sculpture at its best in Central Europe.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> The scenes which have been preserved are the Nativity and the Advent of Three Kings, the gigantic figures of the legendary hermits, Onufrius and Juan Garinus, as well as John the Baptist, Mary Magdalene, The Vision of St. Hubert and the Jacob´s Well.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> In 2000 Braun´s Nativity was, by the World Monuments Fund, put on the list of 100 most endangered monuments in the world.

Its building started together with foundation of the city and it was completed at the beginning of the 16th century. The cathedral is a national monument as well as housing the argillite statue on the main altar - the famous Plze艌 Madonna. The statue represents the so-called “Beautiful style“ of the Gothic period. The Cathedral boasts as having the tallest church spire in the Czech Republic (102,6 m). From its galleries you can see the entire city and its surroundings from the height of 60 metres.

The original castle was transformed into a palace. A new, massive fortress was built around it. Thus, a combination of a castle and chateau was created. No building of this type has been preserved to this extent in Central Europe. Highly valuable remains of early renaissance wall paintings, two soffit ceilings, plus valuable elements of architecture such as the entry portal. The Pern拧tejns sold the chateau and manor to the King in 1560. The last significant reconstructions date back to the 1570s. The original furnishings of the interior were not preserved.

This spectacular church, a red-brick wedding cake topped with gilded domes, is a stunning example of the architectural style that came to be known as Naryshkin baroque. - in:</i> <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/russia/moscow/sights/religious/church-intercession-fili">http://www.lonelyplanet.com/russia/moscow/sights/religious/church-intercession-fili</a></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> By <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01557220284631677939' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01557220284631677939' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Martinha</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/2016/05/church-of-intercession-at-fili-russia.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/2016/05/church-of-intercession-at-fili-russia.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2016-05-22T00:52:00+01:00'>00:52</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/7229267938375181840/3850719692187194739' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=7229267938375181840&postID=3850719692187194739' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Tags <a href='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/search/label/Russia' rel='tag'>Russia</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div></div> <div class="date-outer"> <h2 class='date-header'><span>Saturday, May 21, 2016</span></h2> <div class="date-posts"> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrWut7Usj5_onH1RazdtbJceDyYOlCMm4x7EJSWZdRKvQQCsElN6AFjkVON7ykxA-JuqRRpeaf4AEhXcIMGqs5KQICgC5sBoXeEtkdzEA-H_zWrhhIPY6uL1HhROHLDPVDN4C5yiJNfhc/s400/StPetersburg55-TheKazanCathedral.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='7229267938375181840' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='1703225059940287848' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='1703225059940287848'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/2016/05/kazan-cathedral-russia.html'>Kazan Cathedral - Russia </a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-1703225059940287848' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> Two nice cards of the Kazan Cathedral in St. Petersburg.

After the war of 1812 (during which Napoleon was defeated) the church became a monument to Russian victory.

The mound is 76 metres (249 ft) across and 12 metres (39 ft) high, and covers 4,500 square metres (1 acre) of ground. Within the mound is a chambered passage, which can be accessed by an entrance on the south-eastern side of the monument. The passage stretches for 19 metres (60 ft), or about a third of the way into the centre of the structure. At the end of the passage are three small chambers off a larger central chamber, with a high corbelled vault roof. Each of the smaller chambers has a large flat "basin stone", which was where the bones of the dead were probably deposited. </i></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit7DFxNk5PXuYW02OkAM4wtHhXmEy1W94Z32xKOnYYBpu-OA_MPlWMNSmFcKSCS3-ZqaWlHMLn96eaYxtonovzyF8p7lhYnb38X_2VpicK36JjVEwf70dZ8TV2KJCF5pDejrr9WrB_8hBW/s1600/001+-+C%25C3%25B3pia+%25282%2529.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit7DFxNk5PXuYW02OkAM4wtHhXmEy1W94Z32xKOnYYBpu-OA_MPlWMNSmFcKSCS3-ZqaWlHMLn96eaYxtonovzyF8p7lhYnb38X_2VpicK36JjVEwf70dZ8TV2KJCF5pDejrr9WrB_8hBW/s400/001+-+C%25C3%25B3pia+%25282%2529.jpg" width="275" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">  <span style="font-size: xx-small;">Photo: Liam Blake</span></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7P_r6-VNemCf4EZwAXoLXh9l5y1oGLHZEkwbAphVle4PArOTm_Vwn5qDrURcY6tLHfb_S5g2t10o0-bOWldiW_AFD4dQiCIML4icMjOcPXzJp_xyFN6Lly54FuXwrdn5EgHDl9WpYO4FC/s1600/002+-+C%25C3%25B3pia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7P_r6-VNemCf4EZwAXoLXh9l5y1oGLHZEkwbAphVle4PArOTm_Vwn5qDrURcY6tLHfb_S5g2t10o0-bOWldiW_AFD4dQiCIML4icMjOcPXzJp_xyFN6Lly54FuXwrdn5EgHDl9WpYO4FC/s1600/002+-+C%25C3%25B3pia.jpg" /></a></div> <div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <i>Newgrange contains various examples of Megalithic Art including circles, spirals, arcs, chevrons and lozenges, radials. One of the most notable examples of art at Newgrange is the triskele-like features found on the entrance stone. It is about 10 foot (2 meters). long and 4 foot (1.2 meters) high and about 5 tons in weight. It has been described as "one of the most famous stones in the entire repertory of megalithic art." Archaeologists believe that most of the carvings were produced prior to the stones being erected in place, although the entrance stone was instead carved in situ before the kerbstones were placed alongside it. - in</i>: <a href="http://www.boynevalleytours.com/newgrange.htm">http://www.boynevalleytours.com/newgrange.htm</a></div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> By <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01557220284631677939' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01557220284631677939' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Martinha</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/2016/05/newgrange-ireland.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/2016/05/newgrange-ireland.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2016-05-19T22:56:00+01:00'>22:56</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/7229267938375181840/2856023872106098567' onclick=''> No comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=7229267938375181840&postID=2856023872106098567' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Tags <a href='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/search/label/Ireland' rel='tag'>Ireland</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzMHjh9pn29E4vU8B3Ho_LFhilC-pPS-MU-Ltdqic89VxiYvqQtGiexiCVe31KqAL_Vdk3_Mt2vV4iouy2tq3nbsx7YJFJu1uPX0UgUhIQLUffbdq0ElYm_1WV289LJuRkpRuTHf-mtvYi/s400/005+-+C%25C3%25B3pia+%25282%2529.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='7229267938375181840' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='275700371056326877' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='275700371056326877'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/2016/05/melrose-abbey-scotland.html'>Melrose Abbey - Scotland</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-275700371056326877' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> I didn't send a card from Edinburgh but I sent myself a card from Melrose, a small town in the Scottish Borders, where is located one of the most beautiful monastic ruins in Great Britain, Melrose Abbey.

It was founded in 1136 by Cistercian monks on 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 Scotland.</i></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>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.</i></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>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.</i></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <i>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").

Sometimes described as the "Athens of the North", this famous festival city boasts Greek-style columns on Calton Hill, a wide choice of museums and art galleries, as well as a host of historical gems. Edinburgh actually consists of two cities: the castle, set on high basalt rock, dominates the densely populated Old Town, a labyrinth of narrow alleys and rows of houses. While grand squares, wide avenues and elegant facades characterize the Georgian New Town, a masterpiece of 18th century town planning. - in:</i> <a href="http://www.planetware.com/tourist-attractions-/edinburgh-sco-loth-edin.htm">http://www.planetware.com/tourist-attractions-/edinburgh-sco-loth-edin.htm</a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOnItttGdniKCnu_QkymC2k3jHh00lO2plJ4wONu7HF4wav0dKz5y3O5iMZ6_-Vqw-humk79gcvuh64844hVnAqCwrtHy-Zy16ztXD9AGnyptMj831kchV2Xai0SyaaDPALWtLJ_2Nq24/s1600/007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOnItttGdniKCnu_QkymC2k3jHh00lO2plJ4wONu7HF4wav0dKz5y3O5iMZ6_-Vqw-humk79gcvuh64844hVnAqCwrtHy-Zy16ztXD9AGnyptMj831kchV2Xai0SyaaDPALWtLJ_2Nq24/s400/007.jpg" width="400" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfOm8GjisFBNBETHHEPpdiIX74Yf98L0r5xuYm9tI4Stiv1ojoBJNQkxYqdSGqJvxdfpxYVHmyRuYouerJbw1gnXuIdgl8tZYIDOkcJIHP5_w_7Qe1VLcgAFDga9GtqIKSp-j9_wRme7kI/s1600/006+-+C%25C3%25B3pia.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="102" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfOm8GjisFBNBETHHEPpdiIX74Yf98L0r5xuYm9tI4Stiv1ojoBJNQkxYqdSGqJvxdfpxYVHmyRuYouerJbw1gnXuIdgl8tZYIDOkcJIHP5_w_7Qe1VLcgAFDga9GtqIKSp-j9_wRme7kI/s200/006+-+C%25C3%25B3pia.jpg" width="200" /></a></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <i>Edinburgh Castle is a historic fortress which dominates the skyline of the city of Edinburgh, Scotland, from its position on the Castle Rock. </i></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> <i>There has been a royal castle on the rock since at least the reign of David I in the 12th century, and the site continued to be a royal residence until the Union of the Crowns in 1603.

It was designed by architect W. Hamilton Beattie and for most of the twentieth century was known as the North British Hotel or simply the N.B., a traditional railway hotel built for the North British Railway Company adjacent to their Waverley Station. It kept the same name until the late 1980s when it was renamed the Balmoral Hotel after refurbishment, despite being located over 100 miles (160 km) south of Balmoral Castle. Edinburgh residents managed to retain the "NB" nickname by the popular but entirely colloquial suggestion that this stood for "New Balmoral".</em></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <em>For travellers arriving by train, the hotel provided comfortable and elegant lodgings, before they continued their journeys. To assist passengers in reaching their train on time, the hotel tower's clock, visible from a considerable distance away, is traditionally set to be two minutes fast. The clock tower, at 190 feet (58 m) high, forms a prominent landmark in Edinburgh's city centre. The building’s architecture is Victorian, influenced by the traditional Scottish baronial style. Sadly it was stripped of most of its ornamental stone balconies in its refurbishment, and whilst remaining ornate, is visibly "scarred". - in: </em>wikipedia</div> <div style='clear: both;'></div> </div> <div class='post-footer'> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-1'> <span class='post-author vcard'> By <span class='fn' itemprop='author' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/Person'> <meta content='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01557220284631677939' itemprop='url'/> <a class='g-profile' href='https://www.blogger.com/profile/01557220284631677939' rel='author' title='author profile'> <span itemprop='name'>Martinha</span> </a> </span> </span> <span class='post-timestamp'> at <meta content='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/2016/05/edinburgh-scotland.html' itemprop='url'/> <a class='timestamp-link' href='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/2016/05/edinburgh-scotland.html' rel='bookmark' title='permanent link'><abbr class='published' itemprop='datePublished' title='2016-05-18T01:37:00+01:00'>01:37</abbr></a> </span> <span class='post-comment-link'> <a class='comment-link' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment/fullpage/post/7229267938375181840/65641362824612201' onclick=''> 2 comments: </a> </span> <span class='post-icons'> <span class='item-action'> <a href='https://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=7229267938375181840&postID=65641362824612201' title='Email Post'> <img alt='' class='icon-action' height='13' src='https://resources.blogblog.com/img/icon18_email.gif' width='18'/> </a> </span> </span> <div class='post-share-buttons goog-inline-block'> </div> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-2'> <span class='post-labels'> Tags <a href='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/search/label/United%20Kingdom' rel='tag'>United Kingdom</a> </span> </div> <div class='post-footer-line post-footer-line-3'> <span class='post-location'> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class='post-outer'> <div class='post hentry uncustomized-post-template' itemprop='blogPost' itemscope='itemscope' itemtype='http://schema.org/BlogPosting'> <meta content='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimGTjtVKl9o3JzYh2FEHmQZYmp5PKCCb4rOrcP6JF6Sn7HSBz-Ltsc08YxxURZmcnb4_trl5xgrXtgAb2HCkLYVgqr7uCEMSynBMk7FcNcpA7slGyVtAtBKLM-bvdT_l3DEEO5R6oDTI0/s400/001+-+C%25C3%25B3pia+%25282%2529.jpg' itemprop='image_url'/> <meta content='7229267938375181840' itemprop='blogId'/> <meta content='5889949404563125311' itemprop='postId'/> <a name='5889949404563125311'></a> <h3 class='post-title entry-title' itemprop='name'> <a href='http://martinha-cards.blogspot.com/2016/05/holy-island-of-lindisfarne-england.html'> Holy Island of Lindisfarne - England</a> </h3> <div class='post-header'> <div class='post-header-line-1'></div> </div> <div class='post-body entry-content' id='post-body-5889949404563125311' itemprop='description articleBody'> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"> I've heard about Lisdisfarne on Globetrekker and immediately thought it was a place that I'd like to visit.
