We have already dedicated one article about La Seu – the main cathedral in Palma, Mallorca. In the previous photo, however, Nico has mainly captured this Gothic cathedral with its adjacent moat. This shot was taken from the park by the port of Palma. Thanks to the wider perspective, the Royal Palace of La Almudaina […]

Sforza’s Castle in Milan in Italy, is one of the city’s focal points. Despite this, it is often overlooked in photographs depicting this northern Italian city. Sforza’s castle is just a stone’s throw from Piazza il Duomo, so it is worth planning a visit to this medieval castlllle. Sforza Castle stands on the site […]

St. Anthony’s Church in Bucharest is said to be the oldest building in Romania that has mostly retained its original shape. The church is believed to have been built in the 1650s during the rule of Prince Mircea Ciobanul. St. Anthony’s Church in Bucharest stands just down the street from the Voivode’s Palace. In […]

Kutná Hora in the Czech Republic is located only 51 kilometers from Prague. For centuries it even competed for supremacy with the capital of modern Bohemia. Today Kutna Hora has a population of 20,000 (and is therefore much smaller in size than the capital of Czechia). Nevertheless, the city still bears the signs of its […]

Do you recognize this view of Verona (Italy) from St Peter’s Castle? Apart from being one of the most popular shots of the city of Verona with the Adige river, Nico has already published a similar photo. You can see the effect of the previous photo of Verona here. What do you think of […]

St Vitus Cathedral in Prague is the largest church in the whole of the Czech Republic. Capturing it in a single photograph is therefore not a trivial task. Most popular photographs of Prague only show part of the cathedral together with Hradcany Castle. Nico was only able to take this picture a few years after […]

When Dubai Marina opened, it was the world’s first man-made marina of this size. Not in “one day Rome was built” as they say. This is also how the Marina was built in phases. In 2018, the entire marina complex was inhabited by around 55,000 people. The target for the Marina expansion, however, is […]

This Amphitheatre in the cultural village of Katara (Doha) is an architectural cultural blend. The Katara Amphitheatre was built on the model of a Greek theatre. However, this is not where the imagination of the creator ended. If you look at some of the elements of the theatre you will notice references to the traditional […]

The 25 April Revolution Monument by João Cutileiro commemorates the day of the 1974 Carnation Revolution, which ended years of dictatorship in Portugal. The revolution ushered in significant economic, demographic, social, and territorial changes in Portugal and its overseas colonies. The dictatorship was abolished in favor of democracy and, as a result, also brought political […]

That “spiral” tower in the photo is the “Fanar” mosque, which is part of the Al-Fanar Islamic Cultural Centre in Doha. It is probably one of the most distinctive buildings in the Qatari capital, but the mosque is not the whole complex… Al-Fanar Islamic Cultural Centre is the older name for this cultural centre. […]

The Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Mosque or simply the Qatar State Grand Mosque was opened in 2011. The building can accommodate over 30,000 people at once and is Qatar’s largest mosque. During the day, the mosque can be visited outside of prayer times. However, Nico wouldn’t be himself if he didn’t choose to […]

The mosque located in the town of Al Thakhira is one of the oldest historical monuments in Qatar. The town itself is located just outside of Al Khor and if you are in the area, it is worth making a stop here. The traditional Arab buildings of the mosque blend in perfectly with the desert […]

If you visit Doha, there’s no chance you won’t see the new West Bay city center. Keep in mind, however, that the “real Qatar” is not just modern skyscrapers, but also traditional parts of the city like Souq Waqif – the classic Arabian shopping market. There you are sure to refresh your negotiating skills. […]

Qatar and Doha are unique examples of such rapidly developing countries. Can you imagine, for example, that only 30 years ago these skyscrapers did not exist? This part of Doha (the west coast) was pure desert. Here, where we think the city existed there was always just a village where the inhabitants specialized in pearl […]

The Museum of Islamic Art (MIA) is a symbol of Qatar. You’re probably already familiar with the shape of this building if you’ve ever seen articles encouraging you to visit the capital of Qatar – Doha. No wonder – the architecture of this building, combining elements of ancient Islamic architecture and modern geometric design, reflects […]

The Doha Heritage Village is a place that manages to amaze one with its contrasts. On the one hand, “Katara” is designed to resemble a traditional Qatari merchant village. On the other hand, the entire complex has only been in existence since 2010 and is home to modern art and galleries such as French Galeria […]

For over two years we had been beating ourselves up with thoughts of moving to Lisbon. On the one hand, in Berlin, we had family, friends and a fairly settled life in a country where we knew the language and culture. On the other hand, Lisbon charmed us to the point that we spent the […]

Coimbra was the capital of Portugal from 1131 to 1255. However, it is not the castle or church that towers over the entire city, as is often the case with medieval cities. The central building of Coimbra is the University and this says a lot about the character of this city. With the move […]

The Pilgrimage Church in Wies was designed in the shape of an oval – it’s not just the perspective of this photo that has such curves. But when you look at the ceiling, does anything catch your eye? The construction of the church in Wies was commissioned to Dominikus Zimmermann in 1745, who was […]

We had the opportunity to visit Ingolstadt in Bavaria, Germany during our trip to Italy via Germany. Ingolstadt, had something special about it – on the one hand it is one of the oldest cities in Bavaria, and on the other hand it is a “wealthy” city when it comes to growing companies – especially […]

Is the Algarve in Portugal only beautiful in the summer? Well, no – in winter you should also visit southern Portuguese towns like Lagos, Ferragudo, Albufeira, etc. They have a completely different charm than during the summertime. First of all, if you miss the sun in winter, Algarve is the perfect solution. Second, Portuguese […]

Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II in Milan is the oldest shopping mall in Italy that is still active. Rumor even has it that the name of this building inspired the use of the term “gallery” for other shopping arcades. Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II was built in 1877. It bears the name of the first ruler of […]

In the centre of Warsaw, you will find the Nicolaus Copernicus Monument, which has as many stories associated with it as the languages in which they were written. Although faithful copies of this monument can be found in Montreal and Chicago, it is the monument in front of Staszic Palace that has perhaps the most […]

Palazzo Pubblico, is otherwise known as the “public palace”. This 19th-century building is the seat of government of San Marino, a hidden gem and underrated European city. A country surrounded by Italy. Its representation can be found on the two-euro coin. Republic of San Marino San Marino is a fascinating country. It is only 62 […]
