Ca d'oro
Ca d'oro or the Golden house. One of the best examples of Venetian Gothic architecture. It used to be gilded, therefore its name. -
Monserrate Main Hall
I do have a soft spot for this kind of architecture. -
Gallery in Monserrate
-
Music room
The ceiling in the Music room. Apparently there is wonderful acoustic in this room. Not if it is crowded with tourists... -
Chalet of the Countess of Edla
The ceiling in the Grand Hallway. The whole chalet is very very colourful. -
Hôtel-Dieu de Beaune
Such lovely beams under the ceiling. I think the inscription says Seule * as seule etoile, meaning the founder's wife. -
Basilique Notre-Dame de Beaune
A magnificent stained glass window. But I have no idea how old it is. May be old, but my uneducated guess would say quite recent. -
Château de Chenonceau
Another magninficent fireplace, this one is in the Salon Louis XIV. The salamander and the ermine are the symbols of Francis I and his wife Claude of France. -
Château de Chenonceau
Chambre de Louise de Lorraine, the black room. She was mourning the death of her husband Henri III.
