- Col de Montgenèvre
A historically super-important pass, known already to Romans (including Julius Caesar). But, as you can guess, also a possible route for Hannibal. "Does not lie in sleep." - Fountain
A relief on an early Renaissance water basin with the coat-of-arms of the monastery. - Altes Rathaus
The town hall was built in 1485 with the tower added in 1568. They added the coats of arms in 1728. - The ostriches!
The coat of arms of Leoben is an ostrich. Apparently, they were considered as the only animals being able to eat iron. And since this is a mining town... ostriches are the obvious choice. - Palazzo del Popolo
Is this a dog with a helmet? And a cow sitting on top of it? - 12-sided bell tower
Coat of arms on the 12-sided bell tower, next to Chiesa di Sant'Andrea. - Palazzo Vecchio del Podestà
Interesting coat of arms on the town hall walls. - Palazzo Comunale
The courtyard of Palazzo Comunale was built in 1323. The cistern was arranged in 1361. - San Gimignano
- Basilica Cateriniana San Domenico
There were several flags in the church, including this one with an angry-looking fish. Actually, the flags represent different districts (contrada) of Siena. This one represents Onda, a district of carpenters. And that is a dolphin. - Siena Cathedral
Piccolomini coat of arms: a blue cross with five crescent. - Santa Maria Assunta
The entrance to the church Santa Maria Assunta. - Pozzo dei Grifi e dei Leoni
Two griffons and two lions holding the Medici coat of arms. - Refectory
Pulpit in the Refectory, which was build in 1535-1536. Royal coat of arms... and some strange faces.
