Semmering is a region covering the eastern foothills of the Austrian Alps, approximately 70 km south of Vienna. It was in 1848–1854 that the railway line across the Semmering mountains was built by engineer Carl Ritter von Ghega, a pioneering achievement in its day. Semmering is also a Ski region.

The Semmering railway (German: Semmeringbahn) in Austria was the first mountain railway in Europe built with a standard gauge track. It is commonly referred to as the world's first true mountain railway, given the very difficult terrain and the considerable altitude difference that was mastered during its construction. It is still fully functional as a part of the Southern Railway which is operated by the Austrian Federal Railways. The Semmering railway was constructed between 1848 and 1854 by some 20,000 workers under the project's designer and director Carl von Ghega born in Venice as Carlo Ghega in an Albanian family. The construction features 14 tunnels (among them the 1,431 m summit tunnel), 16 viaducts (several two-storey) and over 100 stone arch bridges and 11 small iron bridges. The stations and the buildings for the supervisors were often built directly from the waste rock dug out when making the tunnels.

Across an overall track length of 41 km the Semmering railway overcomes an altitude difference of 460m. This was an entirely new technical dimension of railway construction, and new instruments and methods of surveying had to be developed to handle the resulting challenges. Also, new technologies were employed for the Engerth locomotives because the types in general use at this time could not handle the extreme gradients and turning radii.

Roman City of Carnuntum

45 km east of Vienna in Lower Austria.

From the 1st to the 4th century AD, Carnuntum was a significant Roman metropolis on the border of the Roman Empire. Carnuntum became the capital of the province of Pannonia Superior with about 50,000 inhabitants because of its militarily vital location for securing the border and its proximity to key trade routes.

Our goal is to vividly present the history and basic scientific research associated with the Roman City of Carnuntum. Antiquity comes alive again in the Roman city quarter with its reconstructed ancient buildings as well as in the amphitheaters and Museum Carnuntinum, the city’s treasure chamber.

Carnuntum had a prominent position along the Danube Limes. As the capital of the Roman province of Upper Pannonia, Carnuntum was protected by a legionary fortress and a fort for non-citizen troops (auxilia) and served as the seat of the governor. All these factors led to it becoming a true metropolis with about 50,000 inhabitants and an area of 10km2.

The Hofburg is the official residence and workplace of the President of Austria and was formerly the principal imperial palace of the Habsburg dynasty. Located in the center of Vienna, it was built in the 13th century and expanded several times afterwards. It also served as the imperial winter residence, as Schönbrunn Palace was the summer residence.

Since 1279 the Hofburg area has been the documented seat of government. The Hofburg has been expanded over the centuries to include various residences (with the Amalienburg and the Albertina), the imperial chapel (Hofkapelle or Burgkapelle), the imperial library (Hofbibliothek), the treasury (Schatzkammer), the Burgtheater, the Spanish Riding School (Hofreitschule), the imperial mews (Stallburg and Hofstallungen).

The palace faces the Heldenplatz (Heroes Square) ordered under the reign of Emperor Franz Joseph I, as part of what was planned to become the Kaiserforum but which was never completed.

Numerous architects have executed work at the Hofburg as it expanded, notably the Italian architect-engineer Filiberto Luchese, Lodovico Burnacini and Martino and Domenico Carlone, the Baroque architects Lukas von Hildebrandt and Joseph Emanuel Fischer von Erlach, Johann Fischer von Erlach, and the architects of the Neue Burg built between 1881 and 1913.

Eisenstadt - capital of the country Burgenland in Austria.
Burgenland’s state capital, Eisenstadt, is rich on cultural heritage. Besides, apart from the recreational use of the lakeshore, you can enjoy operetta’s and musicals at the lakeside Seefestspiele Mörbisch. The picturesque village of Rust takes pride not only in its vineyards.

Burgenland is the latest addition to the Republic of Austria, which was incorporated only in 1921. From 1648 until 1918, the region was part of the Kingdom of Hungary (the other half of the Habsburg Empire). The state is a result of the chaos and political meddling after World War I. As the winners of the war broke up the once-mighty Austro-Hungarian Empire and created modern Austria, Burgenland was added to the new republic. The region is well known for its Spa-towns and thermal baths. Moreover, the landscape is also slightly hillier than the rest of the state. Hence, the regions wandering- and biking trails leads you around an intriguing landscape, a mix of forests and farmland. There are also some small wine regions in South Burgenland. As a matter of fact, the village of Heiligenbrunn not only stands out as the centre for production of the characteristic Uhudler wine, but also for the preservation of cellar houses from the 17th and 18th century. Small whitewashed houses with thatched roofs make up the village and are unique in Austria.

Burgenland is known for its mild climate and has on average more than 2000 sun-hours per year. Moreover, warm and sunny summers make Burgenland a popular travel destination. The mild climate and flat low-lying landscape makes the state perfect for agriculture and wine-growing. Austria’s lowest point at only 114 metres (374 ft) above sea level, is located near Apetlon, between the Lake Neusiedler (Neusiedlersee) and the Hungarian border.

Piz Buin is the highest mountain with 3312meter in Vorarlberg, Austria with a small glacier.
Piz Buin, the highest peak of the Austrian Province of Vorarlberg, is not the highest peak of Silvretta: it is the third highest after Piz Linard and Fluchthorn.
Piz Buin can be reached from Austria from the Wiesbadener hut, crossing the Vermunt glacier, climbing up the Wiesbadener ridge and hiking over the Ochsentaler glacier to the Buin gap. From the gap there is a zigzag walk to the top, with only a 20 m (65 ft) steep step to surmount before reaching the relatively flat summit space, which has an old wooden cross on the very top. The border between Switzerland and Austria crosses the summit from East to West.
Piz Buin is located between the Fuocla dal Cunfin (collar), 3043 m in the west and Vermuntpass, 2797 m in the east. The extension of the north ridge is called Wiesbacher Grätle and separates the huge glaciers of Ochsental and Vermunt.

In such a beautiful country, with such a glorious past, in the midst of such a smart people, how can love of country not be a true religion and how should you not raise your forehead, like the towering ancestors of old, proud that you can say: "I'm Romanian!"

The monument of Ștefan cel Mare

The statue of Ștefan cel Mare from Chișinau is a monument dedicated to the Moldavian ruler Ștefan cel Mare (1457-1504), made between 1925-1928 by the sculptor Alexandru Plămădeală and located in the Ștefan cel Mare Park in Chișinau, Moldova.

The monument of Ștefan cel Mare și Sfânt from the center of Chișinau is one of the main symbols of the Independence of the Republic of Moldova. Inaugurated 90 years ago, on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the Union of Bessarabia with Romania, today, the monument of the great ruler is the place where at the most important events lay flowers and worship both officials, including foreigners and ordinary citizens. Near the monument of the ruler, the crowds gathered at the great national assemblies that culminated with the exit of the Republic of Moldova from the USSR.

-The classics alley- is a sculptural complex located in the "Ștefan cel Mare" Public Garden in Chisinau (in the center). The complex was built in 1958, having only 12 sculptures at that time. On both sides of the paths are installed the busts, now 30 in number, of scientists, writers, diplomats, people of culture, poets and those who have marked themselves in the history of Moldova, such as Dimitrie Cantemir, George Calinescu, Lucian Blaga etc. This is a unique place of its kind in the whole world. During the last decade, Aleea was completed with the busts of the great writers - Nichita Stanescu, Octavian Goga, George Cosbuc, George Bacovia, Mihail Sadoveanu. The new monuments of Mihai Eminescu, Vasile Alecsandri, Petru Movila, Ion and Doina Aldea-Teodorovici were organically framed in the architectural structure of the city.

The classics alley

-The classics alley- contains the busts of the following personalities:D. Cantemir (sculptor -N. Gorionâşev),N. Milescu-Spătarul (L. Averbuh),Gh. Asachi (L. Fitov),C. Starnati (L. Fitov),Al. Donici (I. Cheptănaru),Al. Hâjdău (N. Cracoveac),B.P. Haşdeu (I. Cheptănaru),V. Alecsandri (A. Maico),Costache Negruzzi (A. Maico), (L. Dubinovschi),Alecu Russo (V. Larcenco),Mihai Eminescu (L. Dubinovschi),Ion Creangă (L. Averbuh),Alexei Mateevici (1991 - sculptor D.Rusu),Constantin Stere (1991,G. Dubrovin),

Nichita Stănescu (90s, the colective of authors),Lucian Blaga (1992 A. Pikunov-Târţău),Nicolae Iorga (1993, Mihail Ecobici),Mircea Eliade (1994, A. Bolea),George Coşbuc (1994 C. Popovici),Tudor Arghezi (1995, Dmitri Verdeanu),George Coșbuc (1996, C. Popovici),George Călinescu (1997, Serghei Ganencu),Mircea Eliade (1997, Vasile Goia),Octavian Goga (2000, Cornel Medrea),George Bacovia (2001, Milița Petrașcu),Grigore Vieru (2010, Romi Adam).

The idea to erect this monument belongs to the famous classic of Moldovan literature, Ion Druță who inaugurated it on March 27, 2004. This monument erected on the rock, above the old Nistru, on the edge of Soroca, is one of the most important buildings in modern Moldovan history . "Candle of Gratitude" is a tribute to all anonymous heroes, who preserved the culture, language and history of Moldova in the polychrome palette of human civilization, while perpetuating the memory of the great anonymous poet, author of the ballad„Miorița".

The Candle of Gratitude

The Arc de Triomphe (once called the Holy Gates, and under the Soviet regime - the Victory Arch and the Victory Arch) is a monument of national architecture, entered in the Register of Monuments of History and Culture of Chisinau, part of the Cathedral of the Nativity. It is the 5th most beautiful triumphal arch in the world, surpassing, according to a top compiled in 2015 by the magazine "Aeroflot Premium", those in Kiev, Bucharest, Kursk, Barcelona and Sardarapat (Armenia). It was built in 1840-1841 to commemorate the victory of the Russian army in the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829. Inside the arch is a giant bell weighing 6.4 tons, which was cast from the metal of Turkish cannons captured in the war.

Arch of Triumph

The statue of the she-wolf

The statue of wolf (Lupa Capitolina) from Chisinau, was donated by the municipality of Rome in the first years after the union of Bessarabia and Bukovina with Romania, respectively in 1921. of Rome offered to the city of Chisinau a copy of the statue -Lupa capitolina- made by the sculptor Ettore Ferrari. The statue was installed in front of the building where the "Country Council" (Bessarabian Parliament at the Great Union) voted to unite with Romania. With the Soviet annexation following the Hitler-Stalin Pact, the statue was melted down by Russian invaders, who considered it a symbol of Italian fascism and Romanian imperialism. After gaining the independence of the Republic of Moldova in 1990, the "Cultural League for the Unity of Romanians Everywhere" made a replica of the statue, which it gave to the new state, of the same Latin origin. The statue was installed in front of the "Museum of History of the Republic of Moldova" in Chisinau. With the coming to power of the Russian-speaking communists, the symbols of the people's Latinity became marginalized again, so the village was destroyed again. Thus, a new donation from the "Cultural League for the unity of Romanians everywhere" allowed a new child ( reproductions) of the original 1921 statue, which was re-installed on its pedestal on 1 December 2009

Introduction

The she-wolf suckling Romulus and Remus is a copy of the ancient Etruscan sculpture with the image of the she-wolf suckling the founders of the city of Rome-the legendary personalities Romulus and Remus. The sculpture was installed in the late 1980s in front of the Museum of History of the Republic of Moldova. This sculpture symbolizes the Latin origin of the Bessarabian Romanians. On the pedestal of the sculpture is engraved a quote from the poet Mihai Eminescu, regarding the origin of the Romanian nation.

Legend

According to legend, the two founding brothers of Rome, Romulus and Remus, were breastfed by a she-wolf who later became a symbol of Latinity. The statue of Lupa Capitolina arrived in Chisinau for the first time in 1926, being a donation from Rome. The creation of the Italian sculptor Ettore Ferrari was melted down in 1940 by the Soviets for ideological reasons. On December 1, 1990, the wolf statue arrived in Chisinau for the second time, the "Cultural League for the Unity of Romanians Everywhere" made a new copy of the statue, which was vandalized by strangers and dismantled, respectively.

The Marian Spiritual Centre in Zarvanytsia in the Ternopil region is well known due to its miraculous icon of the Mother of God. Its history is connected to the story of a Kyivan monk who survived the devastating Mongol invasion of 1240, having found a safe refuge here in Zarvanytsia, and who in a dream saw an image of the Virgin holding the baby Jesus in her arms. In 1867 Pope Pius IX crowned the icon and granted Zarvanytsia its status as a significant pilgrimage site. Since then, thousands of pilgrims have visited this holy place.

The most prominent example of Lecce's Baroque architecture, the basilica of Santa Croce is one of the city's most fascinating landmarks

The solemn Basilica of Santa Croce is a glimpse you don't expect, a sumptuous feast of stone that unfolds in front of the eyes of whoever strolls along Umberto I avenue, , not far from Sant'Oronzo square, in Lecce,  the very symbol of Lecce's Baroque. Built by the count of Lecce Gualtieri VI of Brienne in 1353, it was elevated to Basilica by the pope Pius X in 1906. The façade is punctuated by a series of columns, featuring a balcony with a balustrade, supported by figured corbels. The triumph of decorations is simply mind-blowing, while at the centre of this explosion of low reliefs and sculptures in Lecce stone, a creation by Cesare Penna based on a design by Giuseppe Zimbalo, stands out the large rose window, decorated with floral friezes, bunches of fruits and cherubs. The Basilica is accessed via three portals, of which the central one is richly decorated. The interior, featuring a Latin-cross layout and a hemispherical dome, is divided into three naves by columns with sculpted capitals. The central nave presents a wooden coffered ceiling. Amid the sumptuous rich decorations of the interior, stands out the altar of San Francesco di Paola, decorated with twelve low reliefs depicting the life of the Saint, created by Francesco Antonio Zimbalo.
