Iznájar Castle

Iznájar, Spain

Castillo de Iznájar is an 8th-century castle perched on the high ridge. It has a triangular design, truncated on the northeast side, with its longest side facing south, and a large central space. It is surrounded by a stretch of wall with flanking towers at the southeast and southwest corners. The east side is closed by a rectangular building, which is attached to the west with a pentagonal tower at the bow, and another tower in the east. Early access to the castle is believed to have been from the east side through a building attached to the primitive rectangular tower.

Unfortunately like all hospitals in Dublin, there is a significant wait for outpatient services. That being said, the service is of very high quality and the staff are professional, timely, and kind. They respond to all my questions and are comforting during procedures. Every part of the hospital is wheelchair accessible, with various quiet rooms available too. If you are to be here for a while, I strongly suggest getting a family member or friend to bring outside food. The shops available are overpriced and the food available for patients is mid at most. Patient food is fairly satiating however.

I arrived on Saturday morning with acute pain in the lymph node, I was quickly hospitalized, thank you very much, thank you for carefully taking blood from my thin vein!!!! But what happened at the appointment with doctor Hasееb Ali was terrible!!! I told a doctor named Hasееb Ali that my lymph node was very painful. He said it was not a lymph node!!! And he pressed and pressed and felt MY LYMPH NODE ON THE RIGHT BUTT. But this unfortunate doctor never decided what kind of lump was on the back of my head and went to another doctor ? The second doctor confirmed my opinion that it was a lymph node. If any of you don’t know, I’ll let you know that enlarged lymph nodes should not be subjected to pressure or palpation!!! If a real doctor is reading this message, please teach the doctors of this hospital where the lymph nodes are located in Homo sapiens!!! This doctor Hasееb Ali palpated my inflamed lymph node the size of a nut for about a minute ?‍♀️ He scared me by saying that it was not a lymph node, but some kind of tumor that was causing me unnecessary pain! If a doctor doesn’t know where a person’s lymph nodes are located, what does he even know about people as a specialist? Lord help me not to come to this doctor again. Thank you so much.

Specific to A&E but had underwhelming experiences in the other services as well. I appreciate the limitations staff are facing, but even taking those into account, A&E scores far below any reasonable standard for service, triage, care, process, diagnosis, procedure, security and information sharing. No exaggeration. I strongly urge anyone who has a choice where to be treated to avoid A&E at St James. I won’t detail my experience but it was harrowing and every hospital or clinic I’ve been on this planet was better, kinder, faster and safer than this forsaken place. Days later still waiting for my GP to get back to me, trying to get follow up diagnostics and a second opinion, dealing with at times excruciating pain.

It was such a bad hospital and worse patient service in emergency department. Such a unhealthy environment as patient's companions are getting sick while waiting in the hospital. In waiting room, you can smell pee and toilets. So expensive as for just an appointment you have to pay huge amount of money. Worse experience ever.

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.
