Poland: the greatest castle of the country which soon will dissapear

This willow with a white branch is still regarded by many as sitting witches

 In 1420, the bishop of Krakow, Wojciech Jastrzebiec, fell into conflict with King Ladislaus Jagiello( Jogaila) and the Teutonic Order. During the negotiations after the war with the Order and the Battle of Grunwald, he committed a number of irregularities to the detriment of the country. He was probably a spy paid by the order. owever, because not everything went as order planned, they were dissatisfied with the collaboration as well.

Fearing for his fate, he decided to build a fortress. These amazing ruins, left to fate, cost 8 tonnes of silver, which was a huge sum at that time. It was also one of the biggest castles in Poland and throughout Europe. a typical gothic castle on an island surrounded by a moat created by the Riglewka Creek's waters.

The original castle was made up of two parallel, three-story residential buildings surrounded by defensive walls measuring 21 x 25 m.An entrance gate led to the narrow, paved courtyard created by them. There was a polygonal turret in the corner. The castle in this form was a characteristic example of a knight's seat from the first half of the 15th century. In the second half of the same century, it was surrounded by the outer perimeter of low walls (38 x 41 m), creating a zwinger approximately 7 metres wide. A new foregate was also erected. A three-story, four-sided tower decorated with blendes was built on its walls at the beginning of the 16th century, and a foregate reinforced with buttresses was built in front of it.In the north-eastern part of the zwinger, a new building was erected, probably a storehouse, partially protruding beyond the line of the outer wall. At the beginning of the 17th century, two residential buildings were connected with a narrow wing, thus reducing the area of the courtyard.

Mysterious, forgotten, magnificent castle

  

The later owners of the castle were the Szczawinski family. According to legend, the daughter of Jan Szczawinski did not want to marry the husband chosen by her parents. For disobedience, she was taken to the castle and imprisoned in the gatehouse. It is said that her ghost has been wandering around the area to this day. She was imprisoned in the gatehouse after she tried to escape from the nearby Besiekiery. Here she ended her life. The castle, which was destroyed during the wars with the Swedes, was still listed as a "national antiquity" in the nineteenth century. We can say that it already existed on the list of monuments, but at that point, the story ended. Unfortunately, over time, people began to break down bricks. The place is supposedly privately owned, but the bricks continue to disappear, and nobody really cares about the castle, although it could revive a place forgotten by the world. A ghost would certainly help bring this place to life.

 

Although the place is on the list of monuments, it is separated by a barbed-wire wall and, in fact, only visible in GPS, which is worse than the traditional information. There are no road signs to the town and the castle. 

After all, "it is a strategic form of defence of the country" in some parts of the world.

Terrible roads and no signs. This, which is successful in other countries, even on a single abandoned wall, will never be possible here because of the traditional attitude of not seeing the potential of a place and hatred of tourists. After all, that creature walks, asks questions, and, God forbid, speaks in another language. Better to let the people of the village live on welfare than to commit civilization, with the owners of the castle at the start who could earn the money if he just wanted to, aside from the fact that you can now get money for the rescue of such facilities from domestic and foreign institutions.Somehow, the wall around one of the houses is made of old bricks. A powerful and, without a doubt, the most expensive fortress in Poland will soon disappear. Besides,castle  is the district of the city of Kolo(english  "wheel''), which is famous throughout the country for its traditions. From a tradition of carelessness and specific mentality. If something breaks, there is no point in fixing it, maybe it will return to its place on its own. 

''Remember when you are driving through the wheel not to break the wheel ''.

a drawning of the castle from the  time when some was still remembered about it

Poland: medieval castle and the vikings

 . 

                                          

These are the ruins of a knight's castle built by the voivode of Leczyca, though in some stories we can read that the castle was built by order of Casimir III the Great. In the Middle Ages, the tiny town of Leczyca was one of the most important and largest cities in Poland, but fate, as it often does in history, has turned the tables.It was a fortress on the border with the territories of the Teutonic Order state, so it cannot be ruled out.It was in fact built by royal order. It is no secret that in the Middle Ages, the Teutonic Order dominated these areas and did whatever it wanted, often invading Russia, Poland, and even Sweden. The castle was originally owned by the Sokolowski family of the Pomian coat of arms. The stronghold's enigmatic name is linked to a legend about a voivode and a demon, both of whom are still present in castle Leczyca. According to the legend, the knight  made a bet with the devil Boruta that he would build a castle from scratch without using an'' ax''.  He did so, but he was unaware that one of the builders on whose behalf he was working was known as "Siekierka"—a diminutive of the word for "ax." The knight lost the castle and his soul, and that's why the castle and the adjoining village were named ''Besiekiery'''It simply means "without an ax" in old polish. Another theory refers to one of the terms, demon bias.

the fact that the tower with the window stands is a miracle, because it is 18 meters high and is not secured

   

 Archaeological excavations in 1963 and 71,  confirmed a completely different legend about the origin of the name of the place. The truth is that in the Middle Ages, Vikings were stationed here, which is confirmed by a mound discovered in nearby Lutomersk. The town probably owes its name to the Berserkers, extraordinary warriors who, after taking intoxicants, fought in bear skins. From the beginning, the castle was unlucky. For some time, it was the residence of the son of Istvan Batory, I-Andras, who was the nephew of the Polish king Istvan Batory. After the tragic death of the cardinal, Sophie Bathory moved here with her husband, Gyorgy Rakoczy. It is a joke that the man who took part in the first attempted partition of Poland under John Casimir II Waza had to settle in that country. The next owner of the castle, Szymon Szczawinski made the biggest reconstruction of the building. In 1731 there was a fire, as a result of which the castle was rebuilt and the walls were plastered, giving it the character of a baroque residence. The remnants of this reconstruction can be seen to this day in the disfigured plaster. Certainly it was no longer the baroque era, but this one did not really exist here and  took the form of a distorted baroque called: ''sarmatian style'', classicism arrived with a delay and did not replace the baroque for good. In the nineteenth century, it fell into disrepair and became a free building material for the surrounding houses. The castle is associated with the old legend of the ghost called, of course'' White Lady'' like 90% of ghosts in Poland. It is possible to see her in the empty window  of the gate tower, suddenly disappearing as she appears wading in the ruins. 

It is believed that the White Lady is the spirit of Szczawinski's daughter, who did not want to marry the candidate chosen by her parents, because she gave her heart to another man, a very poor man. As punishment, she was taken first to Besiekiery and later to the castle in Boryslawice Zamkowe, the biggest castle ruins in Poland, and imprisoned in the gatehouse. She tried to escape through the window, but it ended tragically, and later she was moved to the greatest stronghold, where she died.

 

The tower with the window is still standing despite the laws of physics because it is 18 meters high and still unlocked.Maybe a ghost or demon really protects it. The castle is currently privately owned, and its natural location on the island has been restored by cleaning the river flowing around it. Unfortunately, due to COVID, the owner was forced to close the facility, and the state is not interested in the monument. It does exist on the GPS map, but it is worse with road signs. For example, knight tournaments that attracted tourists were held here. The plans were to further strengthen the walls and create a museum. It is sad that the castle with such an interesting history will disappear, because it will disappear if the country doesn't inform people about the place, and the place must be closed

Poland, Konin: The Frederic Chopin park and mini-zoo. The story of interesting place changed into the ruin

 

Despite the conditions Przewalski's horses still exist here and even reproduce. Interesting when someome will discover that this fences aren't suitable for animal protection and take care of throwing bread and other moldy debrids. And the cribs indeed, but even durning pandemy for some dirty mean nobility. 

The park named after Frederic Chopin in Konin was established in 1825 as municipal parks in the plan of an English garden with a forest connection. It was a place where until   the middle of the 20th century, residents had to show up on a Sunday walk on Sundays. A beautiful wooden arbour was the decoration of the park, and there was a bridge and places to rest on the lake located in the complex. There was also an old wooden amifitear in secession style and later a  mini-zoo, peacocks were walking slowly around the facility.In 1974, the mimi zoo was established and has now lost its zoo rights,but as it happens in such cases the animals remain. Contrary to what you can read on the website of the park to be honest site of city hall but not a park , the european bisons never reached there, but spend few weeks durning their journey, as well The milu deer in fact sika was the most unfortunate animal that would throw hisself over the fence, remaining alone for the rest of its life, because the reproductive plans were discontinued. 

Beautiful golden pheasants is difficult to find

The greatest pride was the facility's participation in the reintroduction of Przewalski's horses, which are still here today and, surprisingly, reproduce in spite of everything. Old types of creasted hens are also interesting, but unfortunately, because the breeds live together, they cross. These are rare breeds that are no longer bred because they hate so many eggs, although they look amazing. Exist here as well  goose swan, a very rare bird that also breeds here. 

Dirty feeders are coccidia, and a lot of coccidia mean death, but does anyone upstairs even heard that word. 

 

 Perhaps some of the officials mistook the bison with the yak, well they both have horns, considering who is in charge of it. This is where the old, age-old problem of post-comustic countries which  apart from the Czech Republic, Hungary, Russia and Romania which slowly joining to this small  group, are completely unable to break loose and earn money on what they have. The animals suddenly live in ruins and although a new gate to the park has been built, with beautiful cast figures of deer in the rut, the beauty is ending on that, funny thing- there's no longer any deer. What is currently happening in the objects? Not much, but for shure shouldn't  look what it looks like .Unfortunately, the animal crofts haven't been properly renovated since the 1980s. This is realy possible to see and is dangerous as well for animals, not that much for people who just clean their refrigerators by chewing the food over the fence.Despite the signs, the prohibition of feeding is a standard. 

Ostriches still are but...

Unfortunately, animals often get sick after this abundant bread diet, because many Homo sapiens do not understand that the road from grain to bread is very long. Croft and animal houses just need to be changed for the good of animals and  the people.It is also necessary to eliminate too easy access to animals from the other side at least by adding a second fence. Renovations consist of patching holes with boards, and the animal booths, although still painted, are a sign of the times. The bridge over the pond has also disappeared and the area has been fenced. The bridge, like the wooden amphitheater, was burned down,  after the park ranger lost his job in order to save money various bums bagin exist here by the whole days and nights. 

Emu lost his parther in the mysterious way, but when we look at the fence.

 A beautiful wooden amphitheater dissapeared but we have concrete  reprehensible construction was placed, decorated with awful  graffiti. The feeders are dirty and the wooden ones are harmful because of the splinters and of course  not hygienic, because isn't possible to wash it especially in warm days so much loved by every bacterias. Another problem is the lack of directions signs, so people don't know that behind an old collapsing building and a squeezed gate, you can see birds and ponies. Although the objects  is reported to a security company, from time to time you can read that the homeless stole an emu and ate it. 

Owner of fallow deer's harem is as well white buck, thanks that many calf are white. Still no one see that is possible to changed that place in something great thanks animals ''sentenced ''to this place.

Of course is possible that someone do it for fun, but it doesn't change that someone stole and later bones was found. It is not difficult, because the padlocks are from the site where people walks, every human can touch it.  Chain and delicate padlock, begs for a youngster who wants to impress or a drunk idiot to cut it.A pair of roe mysteriously disappeared and it is still unknown how the milu deer died.At last  the fallow deer who were bitten by dogs that same year. A year later, four peacocks, a falcon and a buzzard were stolen from the Mini-Zoo!Over time, people became afraid to go to the park because of theft. The biggest problem is as well that place haven't toiletes but of course is many trees and brushes. 

The mini-zoo has increible collection of breds of crested hens, but because all of them exist in one aviary bird mix each other. All are very old breeds from the baroque age

This is due to the fact that there are no people employed to feed animals on a permanent basis, and this is mainly done by people who work off debts to the city, and in fact only one gentleman found himself in it, but he himself cannot do it for everyone. Boxes just need to be changed for the benefit of animals and people. At the beginning of the 90s, the park was restored by Longin Majdecki. An outstanding nature architect who was involved in the restoration of the royal gardens in Warsaw, gardens and parks near famous palaces and several gardens  in Germany. While the facility looks beautiful on the Town Hall website, the beauty ends at the gate and the animal aviaries aren't huge at all. Despite this, Przewalski's fallow deer and horses persist.It will be good if smeone responsibility for that will  go to any zoo even in Poland - other than that  one in Poznań, where the animals run away from it  and discover  that something is wrong and object needs change. A minimum entrance fee would certainly improve things, although there are subsidies for renovation of this objects. Of course animals won't tell that their have miserable life so problem gone. The best example here is Toruń, where the rulers have really managed to make a beautiful well-kept mini-zoo nad bothanical garden in the old forgoten park. 

Endangered swan goose exist here and like Przewalski's decided to reproduce, but unfortunetly thanks feeding by the fence , often are ill. 

The facility is a perfect example of what happens when irresponsible people start managing something they have no idea how to do it. It's no secret that in post-comunist countries, apart from the Czech Republic, there is still a form of old party system and, what is worse, family connections. Contrary to appearances, the people of the old system didn't leave, but at most they moved, and in smaller towns and some suddenly became right-wing. The greatest damage as well done the system of points from orgin. Thanks which  people from the worst lowlands earning extra points at university for their origins and practically almost thanks it end study and always getting a job without much effort. Well, a person cut off from the plow can be dressed and educated, but he will still proudly boast that the best physiological matters are done behind the barn, and reproduction on hay. These people will never have the perspective of managing anything, and they can be meet as the directors from parks to schools. 

Leucistic ducks are as well something very rare, that genetic sick isn't so popular in the birds world. 

Only the Czechs discovered the prosperity of capitalism, and the Russians with China found a kind of golden mean, but they all assumed at least partially that tourism is good business. What about the park in Konin which could ge good touristic atraction.  First of all, it's hard to even say who is taking care of the object today, because different institutions are displayed when we write  this term into the search engine, of course, it's good for breaking responsibility. 

Lonley yak is the biggest atraction, although he'd be more happy with the partner and with better crib. Guy often dissapears because of gifts throwing by the people. 

There is a parking, but what if cars are kept there mainly by a company that has its own. The locals complain about the lack of tourists and the city's decline, rampant unemployment, but how can they attract others to the city if they don't advertise their monuments. Even the county museum has a bad side. The park has none. Famous parish church as well hasn''t advert, old synagouge which could be great place for gallery closed, 1st road sign in the Europe which was afore statue of slavic god has just short  blackboard with inform.It seems that only the nearby Lichen with the tallest copy of St. Peter's Basilica understood that advertising in another language is as well great advert. And Chopin,man  famous for his pedantic,  probably turns in his grave, knowing that the object named after him looks like this. 

This pony has amazing colours of coat. Really it's very rare to find roan horse like that. 

This is not about liquidating the mini-zoo it'll be stupidy because  the nearest zoo's are 100 km. This is theasiest way, although it means always the death of the animals, This note is scream for restoring it to a state of normality. Maybe it won't be XXI age, but even end of XX will good.Then it could be a meeting and recreation place again, and people and animals felt safe.There is money for it, only jungle buddies would get less for themselves.  

One more kick and fence will fly and then..Toruń thinks in other way.

London: The Wallace Collection- amazing museum which dissapeared from the guides

 

`The swing`` is most famous rococo painting and symbol of age and fall of french dynasty. The seemingly innocent picture shows a woman on a swing. However, when someone learns the story of three people, things are different. Everybody is happy. The lover who is in fact bishop  pushes women towards the hidden in the bushes husband,  who doesn`t see nothing bad in that, but really looks with pleasure on pair, all for profit. 

The Wallace Collection is one of my favorite museums in London. In the past, it was a must-see during the Grand Tour, and the place was visited by crown heads and princes. Franz Ferdinand was here shortly before he died. This museum has some of the most famous works of art in its collection, including the legendary ''The Swing'', a symbol of Rococo and the fall of the French monarchy. This place is a temple for those who are interested in the time of Louis XV, because it is here that we can find the most mementos of the king and Madame de Pompadour. The museum building was commissioned by the 2nd Marquess of Hertford. In 1870, the property was taken over by Richard Wallace, the illegitimate son of Richard Seymour-Conway, 4th Marquess of Hertford, and Agnes Jackson. He was never officially recognized by his father, but that did not prevent him from inheriting his art collection in 1871. The object got its name from him; he bought the Herftod residence from his cousin, who became the 5th Marquis. Richard Wallace grew up mainly in Paris and died there too. He used to bring masterpieces of French art to his residence with passion.  

   During the siege of Paris by the Prussian army and the actions of the Paris Commune, Wallace organized help for the victims of the fighting. Thanks to these activities, he obtained nobility and the title of baronet in 1871. Not long before that, he married his longtime lover, Julia Castlenau (1819-1897) with whom he already had a 30-year-old illegitimate son, Edmond Richard. In 1872, Sir Richard moved to London. He brought with him part of his collection, which, on display at the Bethnal, Green Museum, aroused considerable interest. He also collected many works of art, mainly miniatures and gold ornaments, as well as a collection of European weapons and Renaissance copies of decorative art. Unlike my father, who loved 18th-century French painting, After the death of his son in 1887, Sir Richard returned to Paris, where he died three years later. He was buried in the Père-Lachaise cemetery. He handed over the property to his wife. After her death in 1897, Lady Wallace's secretary, Sir John Murray Scott, placed the collection at Hertford House, thus creating the famous Wallace Collection.  Between 1897 and 1900, the former private residence was converted into a public museum.  On the 1st floor, galleries replaced the stabling, coachhouses, smoking room, and some private rooms. Interior changed. We find here the masterpieces of art by Gainsborough, Canaletto, Reynolds, Oudry, Rembrandt, Velazquez, and the first behaviorist and animal painter, Landseer, known from all books on art. A huge collection of porcelain and one of the largest collections of weapons in Europe, including those from India and the Golden Porta.

 

Is it here that the furniture belonging to ''Roi du Soleil'' , Louis XV, and Madamme de Pompadour survived, which would have been lost during the French Revolution and the Spring of Nations. The paintings The Laughing Cavalier and Francesca da Rimini, more famous in the world than the authors Perseus and Andromeda (Titian), are kept here. The mistress of Cesare Borgia and the mother of his beloved son, Girolamo Fiametta, appear in the paintings, most likely posing again. There is  very good restaurant in the bulding.

Poland: Łodź Israel Poznanski palace- musem of cultures and city

 

 

Łodź is a very mysterious city in Poland. During the Second World War, it was the only city that hadn't been destroyed. It had advantages and disadvantages because no one invested in this city for many years. Due to the lack of investment, it is still better to not enter some places today. But this was also the reason why, after the war, the city was a seat of government. It was even planned to transfer the capital here. The current president of the city is doing a lot for the city, but it's still a drop in the sea. Łodź is the second-largest city in Poland. Most well-known for producing world-famous animated films. To this day, there is a film school and a film studio with one of the best scores in Poland. Several world-famous directors and actors graduated from the local film school. On the opera stage, we will often see the famous Russian ballets or world-famous operas. Although many places are derelict, we will find pearls in this place. Łodź ,was a city of manufacturers, and during XIX and the inter-war period, it developed like London, unfortunately with a dark side of terrible poverty but also amazing fortunes.

 

                                           

 

After the war, new political systems damaged all.The Polish adaptation of the well-known Austrian and Italian series about German Shepherd Police Officer Komisaar Rex is shot here. The Israel Poznański Palace is the most beautiful residence in the city, often compared to the Hofburg. This decided, among other things, the location of the series. It was described in many books and was also the backdrop for many historical films. Today, it is still under renovation. In one part, there is the museum of the interiors of the Poznański family; in the second, - Museum of Three Cultures. Museum showing the common life and history of coexistence between Poles, Jews, and Orthodox Christians in this city. All these people together created this city, mostly as workers. It also presents their cultural customs. There were times when people of different religions could coexist. Place which is very much needed today.

                                        



The most famous interior is the dining room, which is entirely covered in mahogany and contains antique sculptures as well as statues of factory workers from Poznanski manufactures. There is also a symbolic fresco depicting Israel Poznaski's funeral, in honour of whom this city was founded. The second-famous creator of the city is Karl Scheibler. Scheibler was of German descent. At that time, he was the richest man on the continent. Without their amazing factories, it won't be possible. The room was already legendary at the beginning of construction. According to legend, Israel Poznaski wanted to cover the walls in gold rubles but couldn't decide whether to use the tsar's face or the eagle's. These are, of course, untrue legends. The famous staircase is entirely lined with ebony. The truth about the building, however, is a little different. Originally, it was supposed to be the home of a family foundation; unfortunately, the government did not agree to the foundation, and so the building became a residence. That's why the rooms are so huge. The truth is that Israel Poznaski died before the building was completed. Anecdotes attributed to Israel are actually about his son. This location has appeared in a number of well-known films. A mirror room where famous pianist Artur Rubinstein performed. He's an Oscar winner. He has his own room where souvenirs of him are shown. Here we can find his Oscar statue, his memories, and his piano.

 

The museum has collections of famous residents of the city, such as Julian Tuwin, Wladyslaw Reymont, or Jan Karski, the famous spy who did the first report about what the Germans were doing with Jews. His wife was a famous international dancer.  The Poznański family operated on a similar system as the Getty family. They generally lived on assets without cash, and in addition, they led a life beyond their means. It soon began to be felt and ended like always.

In the palace, we can find various artistic styles. When the architect objected to the mix of styles, Poznaski allegedly replied, "I pay; this is my house; I can afford everything." 
The effect is that this is one of the most beautiful residences that can be visited in Poland. His children really were terrible at making money, and the property was sold very soon. 
Opposite are the buildings of the Manufacture, a huge complex that is today one of the largest shopping centres in Poland. Next, we will get to the rest of the Jewish ghetto from the Second World War. Its liquidation was one of the worst events in history. The Germans simply set it on fire after closing the gate. All the people were burned. The Palace was the setting for many international films, including the sadly forgotten film "Persona non grata," about Sempo Sugihara, the Japanese consul who saved several thousand lives at the consulate in Kaunas during World War II: Jews, Poles in the underground, and descendants of White Guards. Although we can see many well-known Polish actors in the film, it has never even been released on DVD there and showed on TV just once, many years later.

Turin; royal residences: Palazzo Madama ,Carignano and il Duomo Torino rest place of the Holy Shroud- Risorgimento part II

Palazzo Madama ''Triumph of virtue of Madame Reale''

 



Palazzo Madama is building in a different style. Above all, Juvarra did not have much opportunity to prove himself because the building already existed and the old castle had to be rebuilt into a palace. Actually, he built a part. The castle belonged to the de Medici family, and here the queen of France, Maria de Medici, began her trip to France,  where she became queen. We are talking about de Medici, descended from Lorenzo il Vecchio (brother of Cosimo de Medici), who unfortunately was killed in the series, although his line survived and exists to this day. Probably Cardinal Mazzarini was here many times. Then it became the residence of the bishops and was finally connected by an underground tunnel with the royal palace.

This happened after the Savoys became a royal family. Madama, with its facade, refers to the Château de Versailles, which was added during the expansion of the old castle by Juvarra. Actually, it was created for one thing: from Madama in the evening, the king could see a parade of official guests on the way to the ballroom or the royal palace. Behind the huge windows overlooking the square, there is only a staircase leading to the piano nobile. Latter bulding was a new country set of senate. Today, there is a museum of art. In addition to beautiful interiors, we find here a rich collection of porcelain from around the world, furniture, paintings, and sacred art. Unfortunately, large windows, especially in the case of strong illumination on a sunny day in the mountains, make it difficult to take good pictures. You would have to take some more equipment. 

Marie Jeanne Baptiste decided about the expansion of the palace when she became regent for her son, Victor Amadeus II. Thanks to this, she got the nickname ''Madama Reale'', and one of the most beautiful halls is called "The Triumph of Virtue of Madama Reale." In this room, the queen died.

 

Marie Jeanne Baptiste was often compared to the French Queen Anna of Austria. The second most beautiful room is the Four Seasons Room, whose ceiling is gilded. Marie Jeanne Baptiste came to history as a strong, powerful ruler who knew great political rules. Madama is still a public place, scientific conferences are organised here. On the ceiling, in the hall of the senate, we will see a symbolic fresco with an anchor and God, a symbolic representation of the role of power.

The old part, which is still a castle, is also perfectly preserved. Although the pediment is baroque and some of the rooms are also, the mediaeval castle extends from the back. Juvarra has not changed it and is having to give back the fact that he perfectly combined both into one whole building; this really hasn't happened often in the history of architecture. The oriental rooms, which were popular at the time, have been painted with great accuracy, including exotic animals such as parrots and turkeys, as well as flowers that appear to be real.

The museum section has rich collections of art, including paintings and especially porcelain. 
Attention is also drawn to a set of ivory sculptures depicting'' the Judgement of Solomon," created to remind the ruler that he has to rule wisely but also cunningly. Amazing baroque mirror with a porcelain frame. Frame, which was created to remind us that looking at ourselves can bring the devil, but when we look up and forget about ourselves, we'll see the angel. Both characters are in the frame. porcelain animal performances, in particular a pair of wolves protecting the young. A large collection of Chinese porcelain from the Yuan and Ming dynasties, as well as Japanese (including Bizen), Porcelain collections are represented by the most famous porcelain factories in the world. Interesting monuments are also city codes, a huge golden key to the city, and a miniature inlaid model of the solar system that moves.

 

  

 



 



 

 

Turin also stores la Sacra Sindone- the Shroud of Turin.

 

A one-of-a-kind discovery that researchers are still debating but have not found answers to the few questions.Science can't explain everything, which may be a good thing. The Shroud is classified as archeopoietos, the Greek term used for sacred things, which means "not by a human hand created." Whatever we can say about the Shroud, everything points to one thing. The reflection of the body actually comes from the period known today as the 1st century of the new era, although pieces of material were later made to have damaged, perforated sides. The body's reflection is made by a method unknown to us today. It is found on all parts of the thread, which indicates that this person has passed through the material. The composition of the blood of this man contains minerals that are not present on the ground but exist, for example, in meteorites. Of course, it can be mocked; however, all scientific books, both supportive and critical of the Shroud, have the same inexplicable problem. Simply put, they can't explain that. The Shroud is in a special chapel that was connected with the passage of the royal palace.

 

On a special balcony above Sindone, a king sat on the throne. Today, the shroud is covered with protective material behind the glass and is only shown on the occasion of important holidays. In the picture of the face, everyone can read different things. Sometimes he smiles, other times he is a tormented man. Probably everyone has different feelings.  However, I got the impression that he' was a very sad and resigned man. as if he knew that his sacrifice was in vain. Everyone will see what he wants. An interesting effect is reflected in the glass of the chapel with the cross. If someone wants to see another archeopoietos, that can be admired all the time, they must go to Manopello. There is a shroud over the face.

(If someone in your life has witnessed a burial in the Middle East, he is aware that the body is covered multiple times.) It is displayed at the church's altar and is visible at all times. It shows the same properties as the Shroud of Turin: blood, way of copying, scars in the same places as on the shroud, and everybody sees something different as well. It seems only Martin Luther did not see anything, maybe because he was a Freemason.

In Turin Duomo, the Cattedrale della Sacra Sindone, or if you want the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist, pay attention to the Longinus chapel located on the opposite side of the chapel with the Shroud. Longinus is the man who, in fact, made Christianity. He was a centurion and a blind man. Death on the cross is very long, in fact, and took days or weeks. Jesus died on Friday, in the Middle East. For both Jews and Muslims, that day is Saint. Friday is the beginning of shabas.
During these three days, you can not bury the dead. Actually, you can't do anything, but as the old saying says, '' If you see a drowning man during shabas, you will pass by indifferently, or will you help him? God would like you much more for that second thing''.

Joseph of Arimathea and Mary therefore asked the centurion to finish Jesus' Passion on the cross, and he did it. Longinus did this by piercing the side of Jesus. Jesus, in fact, died on the cross, but not from crucifixion. Longinus regained his sight at that moment, but at the same time, God killed his entire family. He was to become immortal and wait to be defeated by the king, who would take revenge for that death.

 

Longinus



God forgives, but he does not forget. The Irish added that Conor MacNessa was that king. Longinus' spear would give him the power to rule the entire world. It was allegedly owned by Constantine the Great and Charlemagne. Hitler searched for it like mad. For this purpose, he created a special branch of archaeologists. Whatever happened to Longinus, here too are his relics, so the legend is either true or not; maybe his bones are real or not. Everyone knows that if we begin connecting relics, we could have five people made of one saint.

It is also necessary to visit Our Lady of the Snows Chapel, now known as the Chapel of Carlo Borromeo. Near the royal palace is the private royal chapel. It is also a small baroque pearl. Closely related to Christmas. It is linked to the cathedral passage where the Shroud is kept. A reference to the Shroud is one of the chapels showing the pieta. Next to it is the Shroud Museum, where we can learn more about it in addition to doing research. That place not only speaks: ''yeas ''or ''no''. It shows various trends. 

This subject and allows you to form your own opinions.
Virgin Mary of Snow is very important in Turin, although it is presented here in the form of a figure, not as icon. The legendary Salus Populi Romani is the only icons in the Latin world. According to legends, Our Lady of Snow brought snow to mark the location of the church patrician John built in her honour. By that snow Santa Madonna rescued cultivation , because this year there was a huge drought.
This church is the Basilica of Santa Maria Maggiore, one of the four papal residences, along with the Vatican.



Salus Populi Romani ( and cassone)

the icon is characterized by joining in the gesture of both hands



 There are Holy Crib relics, and popes celebrate mass here during Christmas. I have not changed these photos either. I made them as if my deceased friend had seen her. which was discovered near a church where there was a copy of an icon of Our Lady of the Snows, and when he died, snow fell for the first time this winter and disappeared right after the funeral. Perhaps a bad light; perhaps he or she. Whose knows. The statue is now housed in the Duomo.It should be noted that most residences are still the property of the family, especially the Palazzo Reale, so not everything can be seen every day, but it is possible to meet a prince.

Palatine Gate is a remnant of the ancient Roman city walls. Although it looks like a mediaeval castle, in fact it is part of the ancient city walls. Palatine Gate is one of the best-preserved ancient Roman gateways in the world. Is located behind the Royal Palace.The surrounding area is now also used as a park. The name of the gate refers to an ancient palace. However, it is not known where it was; perhaps it's still the Palazzo Reale. The ruins of the palace from Roman times have not been discovered, but the palace must have been near the gate.

 

 In Palazzo Carignano, which is near the Egyptian Museum, we can discover all the history of the Risorgimento. For that museum, we need 3 hours. There are also amazing royal apartments that have been open to visitors since 2016. Here was born King Victor Emmanuel II, who moved the capital to Rome. His tomb can be found in the Pantheon. Bulding was also a member of the Subalpine Parliament's House of Deputies.

 

The most magnificent is the golden hall, called the ''Italian Amber Room'', because it is equally valuable. In fact, gold was used here. The term "large" does not adequately describe the size of this residence.

Is Turin worth visiting?Turin has to be seen if someone wants to get an idea of the power of absolutism and what awaited us when we decided to visit St. Petersburg.

Turin must be visited by everyone who is interested in the history of Italy. Turin is the first capital of Italy, and if someone is interested in this country, Turin is the place where we  will learn the history of this country as best as possible. Turin is also a magical city ripped out of the mountains, which makes it seem like we were in the Alps, and yet we will not freeze here from the cold. In very good light from Stupinigi, we can see the Matterhorn.

 

 

　The best hotel in Turin. As for me, from a few, in which I was an 'Orginal' hotel. It's a tiny, family-run hotel. The only complaint may be, in fact, the lack of a shower door, and only the curtain, which, as you know, causes water to pour on the floor, no matter how you use a shower. The rooms are decorated like nearby royal palaces, so you can feel like you're in a palace. The hotel does not have a restaurant, but there are plenty of restaurants nearby. The breakfasts are on site. It is away from the city center, which ensures peace, and at the same time there is a trafika, where we can buy tickets for the tram and a stop from where we get to the centre for 10 minutes. Pets are welcome in the hotel, and the airport transfer service is available. The public transportation from Turin airport to the city is quite difficult, but you can get by without knowing Italian.It did not work as it should or as described until the end.The hotel is also in the Stupinigi area, where we can even take a walk, that lasts 15 minutes and, by the way, go through the park and see the Pad River. There is also a huge shopping centre and Fiat factory, which can also be visited. It is also important that the hotel rooms are heated at night. With a large temperature difference between day and night in the Alps, this is quite important, and generally, Italians at night do not warm up, although tourists are mainly in the room just then. It's good in the southern areas, but it does not get very pleasant here. Honestly, we can freeze sometimes. By the time I learned to travel with my blanket to this area.Here, however, unlike most Italian hotels from the northern region, we will not freeze. The hotel service is very helpful, even with such nonsense as the failure of your own computer, which isn't really their problem. The taxi rank is opposite. There is one city corporation in Turin, so there are no scams in this industry. Not far away, there is a very good restaurant run by an elderly gentleman, where we will eat and feel like visiting grandparents.
