Magnificent renovated castle, with its dovecote, and its wedding hall surrounded by a 2km garden planted with trees over a hundred years old with a small play area for children, educational vegetable garden. Parkings. Exhibition room. Every 1st Sunday of the month (except August). come and visit the exhibition of tools from other times. To do whether you are passing through or living in Esynes. I take a book and enjoy the peace and nature close to home.

Place is really nice very spacious room which really highlights the works and paintings. The park is beautiful with its majestic trees. The staff was really professional and pleasant. We came to see the exhibition of drawings and paintings made by children from different schools in the town of Eysines. A super nice visit my grandson was delighted that we came to see his magnificent drawing

Santa Maria in Trastevere

The Basilica of Santa Maria in Trastevere is one of the oldest churches of Rome. The basic floor plan and wall structure of the church date back to the 340s, and much of the structure to 1140-43. The first sanctuary was built in 221 and 227 by Pope Callixtus I and later completed by Pope Julius I. 

The inscription on the episcopal throne states that this is the first church in Rome dedicated to Mary, mother of Jesus, although some claim that privilege belongs to the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore. A Christian house-church was founded here about 220 by Pope Saint Callixtus I (217-222) on the site of the Taberna meritoria, a refuge for retired soldiers. The area was made available for Christian use by Emperor Alexander Severus when he settled a dispute between the Christians and tavern-keepers.

The church underwent two restorations in the fifth and eighth centuries and in 1140-43 it was re-erected on its old foundations under Pope Innocent II.
