In the main entrance to the Ducal Courtyard museums is a stairway leading to the Rocchetta first and second floors, which house the Sforzesco Castle Applied art collections. On the first floor is the so-called Sala della Balla, where ladies and knights at the Sforza Court used to amuse themselves. Here are the magnificent Trivulzio Tapestries, manufactured in Vigevano according to Bramantino's cartoons. In the ball room are also some of the exhibits belonging to the museum of musical instruments. The collection was acquired by the city of Milan starting from the '50s with the Gallini Collection, but includes also a wide range of other exhibits, in particular stringed instruments from Lombardy. In the following rooms are 16th and 17th century lutes, arch lutes, zithers, guitars, and strings that made families from Cremona (the Amati and the Guarneri) renowned in the 17th century. The wind instruments deserve great attention too, to begin with the old hunting horns, the numerous wood instruments (e.g. flutes, oboes, clarinets, English horns) and the bassoons. There are also many valuable exhibits, such as Mango Longo's ten-string guitar, a 16th century harpsichord of the Venice school, Johannes Maria Anciuti's oboe (1722) and a rare glass harmonica, which had once belonged to Pietro Verri.

 Hanseatic house - Bryggen (the Wharf), also known as Tyskebryggen, the old wharf of Bergen, is a reminder of the town's importance as part of the Hanseatic League's trading empire from the 14th to the mid-16th century. Many fires, the last in 1955, have ravaged the characteristic wooden houses of Bryggen. Its rebuilding has traditionally followed old patterns and methods, thus leaving its main structure preserved, which is a relic of an ancient wooden urban structure once common in Northern Europe. Today, some 62 buildings remain of this former townscape.
 Aerial view - During the years of the Albanian independence movement, the League of Prizren, Ulqin together with Shkodra, became the focus of Albanian resistance to Ottoman, Montenegrin, and west European armies. The Albanian population was caught between the Montenegrin and European powers armies' on one side, which were there to implement the resolution of the Congress of Berlin (1878), which had accorded Ulqin to Montenegro, and the Ottomans, which refused to comply with the decisions. After the resistance movement was supressed, Ulqin, together with the Albanian populated regions of Plav‘, Guci, Podgorica, Tivar (Bar), Berana (Ivangrad), became part of the Principality of Montenegro in 1880. Albanians still comprise the majority of the population in Ulqin, despite the pressure from the Montenegrin regime
 Tower hall Market Square - Like any typical European city, Tallinn is centred around its main square; and in the Estonian capital, it is known locally as Raekoja Plats or to the tourists as Town Hall Square.
The main building on the Town Hall Square is obviously Town Hall, or Tallinna Raekoda. Although the building was built over 600 years ago, it has kept to its original use and externally looks much the same as it did during its completion. The Town Hall Tower rises about 40 metres (about 130 feet) over the Square, and affords an amazing view over the Old Town and towards Toompea Hill. Although there are only a little over a hundred steps to reach the top of the tower, the higher you get, the larger the steps become, with some steps near the top approaching 18 inches (almost half a metre). The climb up is quite narrow, though there were occasional alcoves along the way in case you needed to catch your breath, or wanted to see what the Estonians used for a toilet over 500 years ago! The climb didn't seem like it was too high on the other Tallinn visitors' lists as we encountered no-one during the climb or at the top; which was probably all the better since there was only room for about four people at the top anyway. The view from the top was well worth the climb, and since we had a pristine day, you could see for miles. The tower is open from June through August, 11am to 6pm, and costs 30EEK (though half-price for students, children, and senior citizens). On a clear day it is well worth the effort! The same price is charged for entrance into the Town Hall itself, though if you want to take a tour, be ready to fork out another 300EEK on top of the entrance fee. During the summer the town hall is open daily, but visits from September through May require a prior appointment.
 Uspenskin katedraali - Uspenski Cathedral (Uspenskin katedraali) was built in the Russian Byzantine style in 1862-1868, and is the biggest Orthodox church in western Europe.

The bricks were brought from Bomarsund fortress in Aland which had been destroyed during the Crimean War in 1854. The dome is held by four monolithic granite pillars. Altogether, the cathedral has 13 golden onions which represent the number of the Christ and the Apostles.
 Graduation tower - Graduation Towers – an unique and greatest in Europe wooden construction for evaporation of water from brine have been designed by Jakub Graff – the professor on the Mining Academy in Kielce. In Ciechocinek three such edifices – set up in form of a horseshoe have been erected. The graduation towers are 15,8 m high, their joint length is 1741,5 m. The brine for graduation towers is pumped from spring no 11 ('Grzybek' Fountain) and forced upward to trays installed on top of it. From here the brine trickles dropwise on walls of the graduation tower and evaporates under influence of wind and sunshine intensely. Around graduation towers the famous microclimate ample with iodine making a natural curative inhalatorium arises. Ciechocinek is a small town on the river Wisła, 20 km south from the Nicolaus Copernicus city of Toruń
