This fueled the ambition and aspiration for success that he seemed to have been born with. Little did he know that in just over 20 years he would own the largest private home in North America. By the time he was thirty Sir Henry owned 21 companies. His newfound money and love of art that came from visits to Europe brought the idea of Casa Loma, a Gothic/Medieval style mansion that overlooks Toronto. It took 3 years to build and yet was only lived in for 10 years. However, it is now one of the most visited tourist destinations in Toronto and the perfect setting for weddings and events as well as movie and TV productions. After looking at the it’s history, character and physical features, Casa Loma’s “sense of place” can be easily defined as romantic, beautiful and a little bit tragic.…

    When building many of the castles in the 1300-1400’s the main purpose was to keep the enemies out and of course for conquest. In the video I watched, the Forbidden Knowledge video, they called out some very key point of why and how these fortresses and castles where erected and defended. Not only where there kings of the lands, but then each of those lands were divided up to noble kin and lords. They were always trying to better there futures with more land, even if that included killing your own cousin to get his piece of land. One great example of an intuitive fortress, Caesar had made a donut shaped fortress at one point around a small town; he shut out and was starving the people in the town and then also keeping out the men that were…

    With new methods for cutting stone, stone castles became very sturdy structures. Raiders still found a way to get past a castles stone walls by digging under the walls and blowing them up. So castle walls were built deeper into the ground. If raiders ever got over a castle moat and were able to climb the walls, the people defending the castle would build temporary structures that would hang over the side of the castle so they could drop large stones, hot oil, or Greek fire (a large pottery container that would burst into flames when the pottery broke) on enemies. Usually, castles had multiple walls with courtyards in between. This would slow the enemy down and weaken them. The courtyards in between walls were known as…

    Why Is Madrid Important

    • 279 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Madrid's status as the national capital mirrors the unifying approach of the sixteenth century Spanish lord Philip II and his successors. The decision of Madrid, be that as it may, was likewise the consequence of the city's past indefinite quality and nonpartisanship; it was picked in light of the fact that it needed ties with a built-up non-royal force, instead of view of any vital, geographic, or financial contemplations. Without a doubt, Madrid is insufficient in different attributes that may qualify it for a main role. It doesn't lie on a noteworthy waterway, as such a large number of European urban communities do. Madrid does not have mineral stores or other riches, nor was it ever a destination of journeys, despite the fact that its holy patron, San Isidro, appreciates everything except special qualification of having been hitched to another holy person.…

    As the pilgrims approach each monastery they cannot fail to be moved by the stunning natural scenery and the imposing architecture. The monasteries are fortified Byzantine castles with monumental walls all around and a courtyard in the centre. Others look like unassailable towers. The monastery of Simonos Petras (above) is a good example. It is perched on a large bolder a testimony of glorious times past. There are many architectural styles, enough to keep an architectural historian busy for the rest of his life. The monastery of St Panteleimon (left) is a good example. It was built by monks who came from Russia, hence it is called Rossiko, and the style clearly reflects the Russian influence. Successive Tsars bestowed it with wealth and treasures which made it one of the largest and richest monasteries in Mount…

    Within the shell keep and behind the great walls of these castles there was always one basic element: the great hall. It was often on the ground floor but sometimes it was raised to the second floor for extra security. "The great hall was a large one-room structure with a lofty ceiling"(Giess 58). This was where all the people of the castles slept (excluding the lord and the Lady). There was of course a great big curtain put up so the ladies would be separate from the men. It wasn 't until the end of the century when separate rooms were invented.…
