St Fanourios Church, Rhodes, Greece

St Fanourios Church was built in the 13th century. It’s cross shaped and the interior is adorned with wonderful frescos. It officiated as a mesgit (small mosque) during the ottoman occupation. There is no known testimony for its name before the ottoman period. The interior was preserved in the 20’s by the Italian Archaeological Service. After the World War II, Greeks took over the church. In 1946 the church was inaugurated and dedicated to Agios Fanourios.

Beautiful place, just been there to say thank you to St Fanurious and after I've said the acatist I just couldn't stop crying ? it was such a lovely connection! Saint Fanurious helped me to recover everything that I've lost. He is an amazing spirit that helped me to get closer and closer to God. God bless you all. Share the love and praise the Lord for everything. Love, Carol???

The woman who keeps the church during the open hours is very peeky. Basically she is horrible. She made me feel horrible and I am and orthodox and Greek. Every single time I go with my friends she makes us feel horrible and they finally need to remove her from there. She is sending away people, rather than making them feel welcome

Citadelle of Quebec

The Citadelle of Quebec is an active military installation and official residence of both the Canadian monarch and the Governor General of Canada. It is located atop Cap Diamant, adjoining the Plains of Abraham in Quebec City. The citadel is the oldest military building in Canada, and forms part of the fortifications of Quebec City, which is one of only two cities in North America still surrounded by fortifications, the other being Campeche, Mexico.

The first fortifications in Quebec were built by the Governor General of New France Louis de Buade, and completed just in time for the Battle of Quebec in 1690.

After the British conquest in the second half of the 18th century, the problem of Quebec City's defences grew more acute.
