St Bartholomew's Church

It was used as a burial place of the Pernštejn family. In the interior there is a valuable main altar with the painting 'The Passion of St. Bartholomew' from 1692 by Michael Willmann and a painting decoration by Mikoláš Aleš.

Beautiful stained glass windows with a decorated ceiling just above the entrance to the Church and a rich altar. Nicely located church.

The parish church of St. Bartholomew in Pardubice belongs to one of the landmarks of the city and its historical core. The church is an original Gothic building and, according to documented records, it is mentioned here from the second half of the 13th century. It was also slightly modified structurally in several centuries due to capacity reasons. I didn't get inside because it opens, for example, for regular religious services and other important events in the city itself. For myself, I can only admire his beauty from the outside again ♥️??.

Villa d'Este

The Villa d'Este is a 16th-century villa in Tivoli, near Rome, famous for its terraced hillside Italian Renaissance garden and especially for its profusion of fountains: the extraordinary system contains fifty-one fountains and nymphaeums, 398 spouts, 364 water jets, 64 waterfalls, and 220 basins, fed by 875 meters of canals, channels and cascades, and all working entirely by the force of gravity, without pumps. It is now an Italian state museum, and is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Tivoli had been a popular summer residence since ancient Roman times due to its altitude, cooler temperatures and its proximity to the Villa Hadriana, the summer residence of the Emperor Hadrian I.

The Villa was commissioned by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este (1509-1572), second son of Alfonso I d'Este, the Duke of Ferrara and grandson of Pope Alexander VI, along with Lucrezia Borgia.
