Our Champions for the Week:
(May 16 - 22, 2022)
The Svetlogorsk Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord dates back to 1995, but the first parishioners crossed its threshold only in 2006. If you look at the temple building from above, you will find that it has the shape of a cross. The cross-arch system of the temple indicates belonging to the Byzantine or retrospective-Russian style. Among the most important elements of the style are typical architectural elements - zakomara (semicircular completion of the facade) and arched windows.
I loved the stones of Kizlaragasi Inn. I wish such stones were used in the construction of current buildings. The architecture is beautiful, although it looks old, it still looks much more eye-catching than most modern structures. For some reason, these black iron and balustrades used in such historical buildings remind me of old historical dungeons. In general, I see railings made of iron in this type of pattern and structure on the windows of such buildings.
The objective of this fortress was to defend Havana from the attacks of corsairs and pirates, although we know that it never fulfilled such functions because it was built deep inside the bay, that is, when the corsairs and pirates arrived there they were inside Havana, however, it is still a phenomenal castle. It is located right on the Alameda de Paula in front of the boardwalk in the narrow part of the bay, although the main entrance is on O'Reilly Street and the end faces Tacón Street.
