Since the Middle Ages, the tower served to protect and warn the population of the city about the approach of enemies. From it you can clearly see the gorge of the Cetina River and the island of Brac, and of course Omis itself.
In the center of Debrecen's Nagyerdö park, there is a thermal complex. The complex consists of the Aquatikum Mediteran water park, indoor and outdoor therapeutic thermal pools, a beach area with various pools, a sauna area and a hotel.
The history of this hotel dates back to the end of the seventeenth century. Local farmer Andr? s Bika bought up the land and the old building. He rebuilt the building into a tavern and a hotel.
The building of the largest Protestant church in Europe rises on the central square of the city. It proclaimed the independence of Hungary in 1849. On the site of today's building stood a rather large Gothic church of St.
So the Hungarians themselves call this complex. I was there for a week, but I could not count the number of pools: ) The complex consists of a hydropathic. It includes indoor and outdoor pools with thermal water.
The place is very beautiful, one of my favorites in Hungary. If you have free time, I advise you to go around the hotel and climb up the hill to the reception. The hotel lobby offers a beautiful panoramic view of the valley and the source.

Unique and unique in Europe, this thermal bath is located in natural caves. According to the conclusions of doctors, the air of the caves is saturated with all sorts of useful elements that bring a healing effect in diseases of the upper respiratory tract.
Walking through the garden of the villa you will come across other fountains. Some are better preserved, some are guessed only from the description. The Fountain of the Eagles of the House d'Este is almost completely destroyed.
This fountain was designed by Lorenzo Bernini in 1661. It does not belong to the original project of the villa, but was added by the great master a century later. An elegant glass stands in a giant shell, and water pours into it.
This is the second of the singing fountains of Villa d'Este. It was conceived by Giovanni del Duca from Burgundy and executed in 1569 by Raffaello Sangallo from Florence.
My friends and I were in Salzburg as part of a bus tour. We stormed the castle on foot. The men were delighted with the hall of torture and the hall of weapons, and I remember the episcopal chambers and the stove lined with tiles.
Three rectangular ponds were used for breeding valuable fish species. The cardinal's guests could sit with fishing rods and enjoy the magic of the waters. There are fish in the ponds to this day.
Fountain with the highest jet in the villa. According to legend, these four dragons were executed during one night when Pope Gregory XIII (dragons on his coat of arms) was visiting the villa.
The fountain was designed by Pirro Ligorio. In the center is a statue of the Sibyl of Tiburtine, who holds the hand of the son of Melikert, symbolizing Tivoli. (The work of Giglio della Vellita) The fountain looks very harmonious.
The fountain may have been designed by Hippolyte II himself. It is a miniature of the most important buildings of ancient Rome. A small bridge across the canal represents the waters of the Tiber, the boat represents the Tiber Island.
When this fountain was created, it shone with splendor, but inexorable time does its dirty work. Above the upper channel, only Eagles are visible, boats, obelisks, lilies are guessed.
Perhaps the most memorable fountain in the garden. The fountain contains a water mechanism (created by K. Vernard) with which the organ plays. In those days, listeners could hardly believe that it was just water flowing, and not a hidden orchestra playing, and simply considered it a miracle.
This masterpiece of medieval architecture was created thanks to Cardinal Hippolyte II d'Este. Accustomed to luxury, he decided to build himself a cozy residence - for the soul.
Fans of ancient Roman history will definitely be interested in the summer residence of Emperor Hadrian. It is difficult to imagine its real size, today we see only a fifth of it.

I recommend it to lovers of ancient Roman ruins : ) In Pompeii from Rome, I traveled by train to Naples, and then by train. I do not recommend visiting Pompeii on your own.
If you are tired of the crowds of tourists and the noise of Rome, I advise you to go on a country walk. Just 30 kilometers from Rome, there is a beautiful lake with an interesting history, which in ancient times was called Diana's Mirror.
