Berlin Alexanderplatz station
Alexanderplatz
Berlin, September 2011

“Berlin Alexanderplatz is a German railway station in the Mitte district of Berlin's city centre. It is one of the busiest transport hubs in the Berlin area. The station takes its name from its location on Alexanderplatz, near the Fernsehturm and the World Clock. Like other long-distance stations, Alexanderplatz is also a shopping centre for selling merchandise to travellers. Due to its importance and central location, it is a site where tourists regularly change. Alexanderplatz thereby became the second major hub of the Berlin U-Bahn network, behind Nollendorfplatz station. Four Regional-Express and Regionalbahn lines, as well as S-Bahn lines S3, S5, S7, and S9, call at the overground station. The adjacent underground station is one of the largest on the Berlin U-Bahn network, with lines U2, U5, and U8 stopping there. The station is also served by four tram lines, as well as four bus lines during the day and many night bus lines.” (Berlin Alexanderplatz station, Wikipedia)

Pusterla di Sant’Ambrogio (Saint Ambrose postern), 1171 AD (restored in 1939)
Via Giosuè Carducci
Milan, May 2018

“The Pusterla di Sant’Ambrogio (Saint Ambrose postern in English) was originally built in 1171 after the city was destroyed by Frederik I Barbarossa in 1162. This postern was one of the ten secondary gates of Milan medieval walls. When in the 16th century the new set of city walls went up (under the Spanish domination of the city), the Pusterla of Saint Ambrose was turned into a prison. In 1939 this postern was completely restored with the original features.” (Pusterla di Sant’Ambrogio, Wikipedia)

“Loreta is a pilgrimage destination in Hradčany, a district of Prague, Czech Republic. It consists of a cloister, the church of the Lord’s Birth, the Santa Casa and a clock tower with a famous chime. Construction started in 1626 and the Holy Hut was blessed on 25 March 1631. The architect was the Italian Giovanni Orsi, and the project was financed by Kateřina Benigna, a noblewoman of the Lobkowicz family. Fifty years later the place of pilgrimage was surrounded by cloisters, to which an upper storey was added after 1740 by Kilián Ignác Dientzenhofer. The baroque facade was designed by the architects Christoph Dientzenhofer and Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer, and added at the beginning of the 18th century.”
