  • The Jesuit Chapel - A real gem to discover.<br />
To preserve and honor the precious relics of Saint Charles Garnier, the sculptor Gérard Marchand has produced a magnificent wooden box.<br />
On the front, Jesuits and young men gather in front of the relics of this Canadian martyr. The other faces show scenes of the missionary life of the Jesuit Charles Garnier with the Amerindians.<br />
At the four corners of the box, angels seem to stand guard.<br />
<br />
Algonquian people had originally named the area Kébec, meaning "where the river narrows", because the Saint Lawrence River narrows proximate to the promontory of Quebec and its Cape Diamant. <br />
Explorer Samuel de Champlain founded a French settlement here in 1608, and adopted the Algonguin language term. Quebec City is one of the oldest European cities in North America. <br />
The ramparts surrounding Old Quebec are the only fortified city walls remaining in the Americas north of Mexico. <br />
This area was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1985 as the "Historic District of Old Québec".

  • VATICAN CITY, VATICAN - NOVEMBER, 20: Campo Santo Teutonico It is the oldest German National Foundation in Rome. Located left of the Basilica of St. Peter, the Teutonic cemetery surrounded by a wall, does not attract immediate attention, but the charm of this cloister full of history opens quickly in the same way more urgent. Here once stood the circus of Nero, which was the scene of the martyrdom of many Christians. After the sack of Rome, the Swiss chapel was the burial place of the guards.<br />
Because of its rather unique position, the cemetery is of course always been a very popular place of burial. According to the statutes, persons who are entitled to burial in this place are the members of the Confraternity, members of several religious houses of German origin and two other German colleges in Rome: the "Anima"and "Germanico . It also contains the graves of famous dead in the areas of church life, art, politics or diplomacy.<br />
The last burial was that of the young Prince Alexis of Windisch-Graetz in 2010. It was the second son of Prince Hugo, one of the gentlemen of Pope Benedict XVI, and the Archduchess of Habsburg.

  • Cathedrale du Puy en Velay - Le Puy Cathedral<br />
La cathédrale Notre-Dame-de-l'Annonciation du Puy-en-Velay est un monument majeur de l'art roman et de l'Occident chrétien. Elle a été érigée en basilique mineure par un bref apostolique de Pie IX, le 11 février 1856.<br />
<br />
Une Vierge noire, objet de nombreux pèlerinages au cours des siècles, trône sur un maître-autel baroque. L'actuelle effigie remplace celle qui aurait été offerte par Saint Louis à son retour de la croisade d’Égypte, et qui fut brûlée lors de la Révolution française.<br />
<br />
La cathédrale fait l’objet d’un classement au titre des monuments historiques par la liste de 18621. Elle a été inscrite en 1998 sur la liste du patrimoine mondial par l'UNESCO au titre des chemins de Saint-Jacques-de-Compostelle en France.<br />
<br />
Le Puy Cathedral (Cathédrale Notre-Dame du Puy) is a Roman Catholic cathedral, and a national monument of France, in Le Puy-en-Velay, Auvergne. It has been a centre of pilgrimage in its own right since before the time of Charlemagne, as well as forming part of the pilgrimage route to Santiago de Compostela. Since 1998 it has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as part of the "Routes of Santiago de Compostela in France".<br />
<br />
It is the seat of the Bishop of Le Puy.

  • New-York City, Central Park.<br />
Bethesda Fountain.<br />
<br />
Rising from Bethesda Terrace is Angel of the Waters, also called Bethesda Fountain. The statue references the Gospel of John, which describes an angel blessing the Pool of Bethesda and giving it healing powers. The fountain commemorates the Croton water system, which first brought fresh water to New York City in 1842. The angel carries a lily in her left hand -- a symbol of the water's purity, very important to a city that had previously suffered from a devastating cholera epidemic before the system was established. The piece is the only statue that was commissioned for the Park. Created by Emma Stebbins, it also marked the first time a woman received a public art commission in New York City.<br />
<br />
Central Park is a public park at the center of Manhattan in New York City, United States. The park initially opened in 1857, on 843 acres (3.41 km2) of city-owned land. In 1858, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux won a design competition to improve and expand the park with a plan they entitled the Greensward Plan. Construction began the same year, continued during the American Civil War, and was completed in 1873. Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1963, the park is currently managed by the Central Park Conservancy under contract with the city government. The Conservancy is a nonprofit organization that contributes 85% of Central Park's $37.4 million dollar annual budget, and employs 80% of the park's maintenance staff.
