other similar structures that in his dominions were extensive fields, where
they could grow vegetables and wheat. This allows not only provide food for all
the monks, but also to sell products in order to obtain additional profit. No
wonder that came to these lands Turks sacked the monastery and took out almost
all values. In the future, it had to restore the efforts of hundreds of
workers.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

famous areas in the whole of southern France. The reason for all this is a
local nature that has been preserved intact even in an age when the concrete

The city is a very attractive place not only for tourists but also for ordinary
people who are planning to move here for permanent residence. That's only for
the purchase of housing need quite a lot of money, especially when it comes to
fanatical castle, where you can find all the best that can offer this area.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

fortress in the Baroque style, which, after a few centuries, will go down in
history as one of the most famous prisons in the history of the Austro-Hungarian
Empire. Later the castle Spilberk served as military barracks, and today it is
a popular tourist attraction and part-time Czech national treasure.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Toledo worth a visit one of the oldest bridges of the city - the bridge of
Alcantara (Puente de Alcántara), located at the foot of the castle of San
Servanando. He spread over the Tagus River. The name of the bridge comes from
the Arabic word "al-Qantara," which means "bridge". It is
not necessary to be confused with the Alcántara Bridge, which is located in the
province of Caceres. Although the names are similar, and they have, but they
are two completely different structure. What unites them except what sailing
vessel used by them Tohatsu outboard motors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

was ruled by Alfonso X, built a bridge of Alcantara, which we can see so far.
This famous bridge consists of a Double Arch spans, under one of which flows
the river Tagus. In X-XI had appeared two turrets. The bridge is not just
repaired. It is known that in 1484 worked on the restoration of the inner arch
of the bridge, and in 1721 changed the outer tower and the bridge itself has
undergone restoration in 1786. The bridge had to be witnessed bloody battles,
of which there were many, and once the residents of Toledo decided to destroy
it, to win over the Portuguese.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

could knock out a massive door, he would have had to cross a small courtyard

to expand the ram in a small space courtyard. While the attackers were going to
be with the forces and preparing for the assault, the defenders could pull
fresh troops. On the right side of the bridge, right by the river you can see
the structure of Artificio Juanelo, which <a href="http://natureconservancyblog.blogspot.com/2015/02/alcantara-bridge.html" target="_blank">was built in the XVI century</a>. It

began in 1736, when the work was carried out by dredging the river. In the same
year the architect G. van Boles begins to translate into reality the project of
a wooden drawbridge with a blue color. Since that time, the bridge was
repeatedly subjected to repairs. Over time, the cast iron parts of the bridge
were replaced with concrete and stone covering - on asphalt. However, it is
worth noting that the bridge is practically lost its original appearance (its
design has undergone only minor changes) and to this day, as you see, is
painted in blue.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

began back in 1998. The bridge has one hundred and twenty feet long and
forty-eight meters wide. First he collected in the Netherlands, and in 2008
moved to Ireland. Its construction was entrusted to the company "Graham
Hollandia Joint Venture", which is famous for the fact that I was able to
build the world's <a href="http://natureconservancyblog.blogspot.com/2015/02/samuel-beckett-bridge.html" target="_blank">largest ferris wheel called the "London Eye".</a> For
the construction of this one of the most interesting sights of the city took
sixty million euros, though it was supposed to spend the entire eleven million.
The bridge could establish only the third time since work interferes with a
strong wind. However, the opening of the bridge was even earlier than planned.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

very interesting places related to the history, culture or science. This city
for centuries formed from a variety of trends, then falling into a radical
Westernism, then developing their own unique architectural and cultural
solutions. However, in both cases the Russian capital city remained, in some
way, even a reference, which was not so much a place of beauty of nature. Even
parks are very clearly defined and, so to speak, caught in the framework of
streets and houses. However, there is a place in Moscow where you can touch the
nature in its most amazing forms, - Botanical Garden RAS, located on the ENEA.
He impresses with its lavish collection - about seventeen thousand plants - and
size.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

is not original, but such an ambitious plan - to create a unique nature
reserve, combining demonstration of natural beauty and the best examples of
landscape design with space for scientific work - there was a relatively long
time. Back in the late thirties considered projects located in areas of <a href="http://natureconservancyblog.blogspot.com/2015/02/botanical-garden-tsitsin.html" target="_blank">Moscow Botanical Garden.</a> In the forties there were already more or less concrete
plans, but they were interrupted by the war. Construction was re-thought in the
postwar years. Under the leadership of A.Schuseva and N.Tsitsina was a master
plan construction, the implementation of which involved mainly in the fifties
and seventies. However, the botanical garden is periodically updated and
supplemented today. For example, in the early nineties efforts of scientists
and landscape designers was recreated moorland with stones, fragments of whole
rocks, dozens of species of heather, shrubs and dwarf conifers. It repeats its
unique view of mountain ecosystems and is especially beautiful in autumn, when
the heather blooms.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
