The National Railway Museum of
Pietrarsa (Italian: Museo Nazionale
Ferroviario di Pietrarsa) lies beside
the Naples–Portici railway, between
the city of Naples and the towns
of Portici and San Giorgio a
Cremano. Pietrarsa is an area
among these villages in the past
known as “Pietra Bianca” (white
stone) but it was
renamed Pietrarsa (burnt stone)
after the eruption of the Vesuvius in
1631.
The most famous piece is a reproduction of the
Bayard locomotive, the twin of Vesuvio. It was
built in 1939 for the 100th Anniversary of the
Naples-Portici line. Along the walls the steam
locomotives are displayed following the
evolution of steam traction.
Bayardino: our MASCOT!
Location: Portici (NA)
It overlooks San Ciro square and is
characterized by a Byzantine style facade and is
flanked by two bell towers today both equipped
with clock.
Saint Ciro Church
Location: Portici (NA)
It is one of the most famous and ancient
castles of Naples: Castel dell’Ovo.
The legend of Castel dell’Ovo, of medieval origin, would seem to be one of the
most imaginary of the Neapolitan tradition. According to this legend, the castle
takes its name from the famous Latin poet Virgil who would have hidden, inside a
cage, an enchanted egg. The egg would have been put by the ‘magician’ poet inside
a glass pitcher full of water protected by an iron cage and hung on a heavy oak
beam, then placed in a room in the basements of the castle.Until now, nobody has
never found the magic egg. The legend tells that, until the egg had not broken, the
city and the castle would have been protected against every sort of calamity.
Nevertheless, if something had happened to the egg, there would have been
troubles for Naples and the Neapolitans.
Location: Naples
Piazza del Plebiscito, is a beautiful large
square in Naples, bordered at one end by the
Palazzo Reale (Royal Palace) and at the other
by the Basilica of San Francesco di Paola.
Location: Naples
Castel Nuovo, often called Maschio Angioino , is
a medieval castle located in front of Piazza Municipio and
the city hall (Palazzo San Giacomo) in
central Naples, Campania, Italy. Its scenic location and
imposing size makes the castle, first erected in 1279, one of
the main architectural landmarks of the city. It was a royal
seat for kings of Naples, Aragon and Spain until 1815.
Location: Naples
“St. Alexander Nevsky” cathedral
Location: Sofia
The building of the cathedral was connected to Bulgaria‘s liberation from the rule
of the Ottoman Empire in 1879. After the end of the War , the grateful Bulgarian
people wanted to build a monument to all the brave men, Bulgarian and Russian,
who fought and died for the liberation of the country.
It was decided that a magnificent Orthodox cathedral is what would best embody
the memory of the sacrifice. The construction process took 30 years, as the ongoing
wars at the time delayed the official opening of the cathedral for yet another 12
years, until 1924.
The Rila Monastery
Location: In the southwestern Rila Mountains
Rila Monastery was founded in the 10th century by St John of Rila, a hermit
canonized by the Orthodox Church. His ascetic dwelling and tomb became a holy
site and were transformed into a monastic complex which played an important role
in the spiritual and social life of medieval Bulgaria. Destroyed by fire at the
beginning of the 19th century, the complex was rebuilt between 1834 and 1862. A
characteristic example of the Bulgarian Renaissance (18th–19th centuries), the
monument symbolizes the awareness of a Slavic cultural identity following centuries
of occupation.
Panorama Pleven Epopee – 1877
Location: Pleven
The memorial is devoted to to five-months battles of Russian army during the
Russian-Turkish war 1877-78 as a result of which Bulgaria was liberated from the
500 years of Ottoman yoke. The Pleven Epopee 1877 Panorama depicts these
events combining painting, plastics and architecture in a whole art work. The
combination of the canvas (115/15m), the foreground (12m) and the illumination
creates a feeling of authenticity and empathy to the battle fought on 11 September
1877.
Shipka Monument of The Liberty
Location: Town Shipka
The Monument is a monumental construction, located
at Shipka summit in Stara Planina mountain, north of
town of Shipka. The current monument was
inaugurated in 1934. He is a big tower of dolomite
(32.5 meters high), with shape of a truncated pyramid.
Above the entrance of the tower is situated a giant
bronze lion (8 meters x 4 meters).
National Museum Steamship "RADETZKY"
Location: Town Kozloduy
The Austrian steamship “Radetzky” was built in 1851 in the shipyard “Obuda” -
Budapest (Austria-Hungary at that time). She was a property of the First
Privileged Imperial and Royal Danube Society. The ship was named after
Field-marshal Josef Ventzeslav Radetzky. There is a monument of Radetzky in
the center of Vienna. In honor of the 90-th anniversary of the heroic death of
Hristo Botev, Bulgarian children raised funds to rebuild an exact copy of the
legendary for our history steamship. „Radetzky“ was launched on 28 May 1966
and on 30 May she landed on the Kozloduy’s bank.
Church of Saint Nikolaos Stegis
The church of Agios Nikolaos tis Stegis (St. Nicholas of the Roof) is located
in the Solea Valley and is a listed UNESCO World Heritage Site. It took its
name from its roof that was built to protect it from the weather. It is the
only surviving monastery church of its kind on the island and is covered
entirely in wall paintings from the 11th to the 17th centuries, with the most
important surviving set on the island from this period. As such, it is
considered one of the most interesting Byzantine churches in Cyprus.
Colossi Castle
Colossi Castle is located to the west of Limassol. The castle was built in
1210 by the Order of Knights Hospitaller and is one of the most
important monuments of the French period. The castle’s main tower is
22 meters high. Visitors can take a walk through the garden, enter the
castle and go up to the observation deck and enjoy the view of the
surrounding area. Colossi Castle and the nearby ancient sugar factory are
considered the birthplace of the famous Commandaria wine.
Petra Tou Romiou ( Rock of the Roman)
Petra tou Romiou ("Rock of the "Roman") also known as Aphrodite's Rock, is
in Pathos, Cyprus. According to one legend, this rock is the site of the birth of
the goddess Aphrodite, perhaps owing to the foaming waters around the rock
fragments, and for this reason it is known as Aphrodite's Rock.
The present name Petra tou Romiou ("Rock of the Roman") associates the place
with the exploits of the hero Basil as told in Digenes Akritas. Basil was
half-Byzantine (East Roman or Romios) and half-Arabic, hence the
name Digenes (two-blood). Legend tells that the Christian Basil hurled a huge
rock from the Troodos Mountains to keep off the invading Saracens. A nearby
rock is similarly known as the Saracen Rock.
Bellapais Abbey
Bellapais Abbey is a ruined monastery dating from the early 13th century, near
Kyrenia in Northern Cyprus. It was used by the Greek Orthodox community until
its last members were forced out in 1976.
Mosaic of Dionysos and Acme
Dionysos House is in Paphos. It is one of the largest villas of the Roman
period in Cyprus. This particular house was named after the god Dionysus
because of the repeated depictions of the wine god in most of the mosaics
of the house.
One of these performances refers to the myth of Dionysus and Icarus. On
this particular scene of the mosaic, on the left is the god Dionysus with the
nymph Acme crowned with vine leaves. Dionysus holds grapes in his hand,
which he offers to Acme, who is presented to enjoy her wine.
Arc de Triomphe
Coq Gaulois
Mont Saint-Michel
Louis XIV
Tour
Eiffel
Belem Tower,
Lisbon
Constructed between 1514-1520, as part of a defence system, it is one
architectural jewel from the Kingdom of D. Manuel I. In 1983, it was
classified by UNESCO as “Cultural Heritage of Humanity”.
Clérigos Tower, Porto
Projected by an Italian architect (Nicolau
Nasoni), it has baroque characteristics. Its
construction was finished in 1763. After
climbing 225 steps and reaching the top of the
tower, the visitors can enjoy a great view over
the city.
Douro Wine Region
Part of the region is a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2001.
In the old days, the “rebelo boats” used to carry barrels of port
wine from the vineyards to Vila Nova The Gaia –Porto, where
the wine was kept.
Fado & Portuguese Pavement
Fado is a Portuguese musical genre. It is sung by one person only
(fadista) with someone else playing the Portuguese guitar. UNESCO
declared Fado as “Intangible Cultural Heritage” in 2011. Roman and
Arabic pavements inspired the Portuguese pavement. It gives the
streets a unique decoration recognized in many places.
The Rooster of Barcelos and the Heart of Viana
The rooster is the main character of a legend that
narrates the miraculous interventions of a dead
rooster into proving the innocence of a man
unjustly accused. The legend continues to live in the
shape of many roosters made of clay and colourfully
painted by artisans. The rooster is the pride of the
city of Barcelos. The Heart of Viana – Portuguese
filigree jewellery. Filigree is made by hand and
demands a lot of patience, imagination and skills. It
is very common in the north of Portugal.
The Guinness Storehouse is the Home of Guinness, where you will discover
what goes into the making of each and every pint, and learn about the
incredible brand history stretching over 250 years.
Ireland’s number one International Visitor Attraction unfolds its tale across
seven floors shaped around a giant pint, which, if filled would contain 14.3
million pints of Guinness.
Here, you can experience Guinness like nowhere else. As you make your way
through the impressive storehouse, discover the age-old art of brewing that
makes Guinness so distinctive; visit the Tasting rooms, a multisensory tasting
experience designed to help you appreciate the distinctive taste of the iconic
stout, from the very first velvet sip to the last lingering drop.
The Guinness Storehouse
Dublin’s GPO is indelibly associated with the 1916 Rising and the events that
led to the creation of an independent Irish state. The stern grandeur of its
façade, Irish flag flying proudly aloft, is an image that evokes a justifiable sense
of heroism and nationhood. In the course of its long history, the GPO has
witnessed much more than the events of Easter Week. The foundation stone
was laid by Lord Whitworth on the 12th August 1814 with £60 spent on
entertainment for the occasion. The architect was Francis Johnston whose
considerable abilities place him in the first rank of Irish architects. In its GPO
Dublin gained a building that was, in the words of one contemporary,
“commodious, well arranged… and highly ornamental to the city.”
Dublin’s General Post Office
Newgrange is a 5,200 year old passage tomb located in the Boyne Valley
in Ireland's Ancient East.
Newgrange was built by Stone Age farmers, the mound is 85 meters (93 yards)
in diameter and 13.5 meters (15 yards) high, an area of about 1 acre.
A passage measuring 19 meters (21 yards) leads into a chamber with 3 alcoves.
The passage and chamber are aligned with the rising sun at the Winter
Solstice.
Newgrange is surrounded by 97 large stones called kerbstones some of which
are engraved with megalithic art; the most striking is the entrance stone.
Newgrange
The Giant's Causeway
What a truly unique place it is. An enjoyable walk of just under
a kilometre will bring you down to the Causeway itself, where
you can hop over the stones, explore the surrounding hills, or
just sit and contemplate the puzzling geology that has led to
one of the most remarkable natural sites in Europe. Here, the
light changes through the day, with remarkable beauty from
sharp greens and greys to warm tobacco brown.
It’s what dreams are made of.
Kilmainham Gaol
Kilmainham Gaol opened in 1796 as the new County Gaol for Dublin. It closed its
doors in 1924.
Today the building symbolises the tradition of militant and
constitutional nationalism from the rebellion of 1798 to the Irish Civil War of
1922-23. Leaders of the rebellions of 1798, 1803, 1848,1867 and 1916 were
detained and in some cases executed here. Many members of the Irish Republican
movement during the Anglo-Irish War (1919-21) were also detained in Kilmainham
Gaol, guarded by British troops. Names such as Henry Joy McCracken, Robert
Emmet, Anne Devlin, Charles Stewart Parnell and the leaders of 1916 will always be
associated with the building. It should not be forgotten however that, as a county
gaol, Kilmainham held thousands of ordinary men, women and children. Convicts
from many parts of Ireland were held here for long periods waiting to be
transported to Australia. Kilmainham Gaol Museum is operated and managed by the
Office of Public Works.
Thank you all for your continued support,enthusiasm,
dedication and passion!

  • 3. The National Railway Museum of Pietrarsa (Italian: Museo Nazionale Ferroviario di Pietrarsa) lies beside the Naples–Portici railway, between the city of Naples and the towns of Portici and San Giorgio a Cremano. Pietrarsa is an area among these villages in the past known as “Pietra Bianca” (white stone) but it was renamed Pietrarsa (burnt stone) after the eruption of the Vesuvius in 1631. The most famous piece is a reproduction of the Bayard locomotive, the twin of Vesuvio. It was built in 1939 for the 100th Anniversary of the Naples-Portici line.

The legend of Castel dell’Ovo, of medieval origin, would seem to be one of the most imaginary of the Neapolitan tradition. According to this legend, the castle takes its name from the famous Latin poet Virgil who would have hidden, inside a cage, an enchanted egg. The egg would have been put by the ‘magician’ poet inside a glass pitcher full of water protected by an iron cage and hung on a heavy oak beam, then placed in a room in the basements of the castle.Until now, nobody has never found the magic egg. The legend tells that, until the egg had not broken, the city and the castle would have been protected against every sort of calamity. Nevertheless, if something had happened to the egg, there would have been troubles for Naples and the Neapolitans. Location: Naples
