Favourite architecture

You can share pics of your favourite monuments, the trick is that they have to be in the country you live in

You can also name the architectural style, if you know it.

This is an example of late Byzantine architecture, one of my most favourite churches in this city, the Panagia Chalkeon:

I have many times walked in the garden of this church, which is built below the modern ground level of the city. It makes me feel serene, and inside it is even more magical with the colourful icons

American castle churches.

Castles of France and Spain (with honorary mention to those in Germany and Italy) are unbearably beautiful to look at!!!

I also am very fond of castles

We only have some medieval ones here.

The monasteries in Agion Oros look like castles though:
