San Bartolomé is the oldest church of Logroño. The construction dates back to the 12th century. Though it got altered largely in the 16th century, the Romanesque structure is still visible. The wonderful porch was created in the 13th century. During the time of "La Desamortización", when mid 19th century many monastic properties got sold, and the church was used as a warehouse and workshop. It was even discussed to demolish the building. The porch was created in the 13th century. The upper part dates back to the 16th century, but the builders saved the old tympanum, which found a new place. Where the tympanum once was is now a window. I have already uploaded many photos taken on previous visits, so I will add just a few. Many more are in the Album "La Rioja" especialy details of this portal

Venice (ital. Venezia) is one of the most important tourist destinations worldwide with about 30 million visitors each year. As each tourist takes at least 100 photos (minimum!) in Venice 3000000000 photos are taken here per year, what means more than 8 millions per day. Many of them are uploaded and can be found in the web. So, I will only upload a couple of photos - and not add many words.. - Exhausted tourists taking a rest on a wall of St. Mark's Basilica. The carvings displayed here may well be trophy pieces brought to Venice from elsewhere during the many wars the Venetians fought over centuries. There are two "Birds drinking from a chalice" - icons and on the frieze below a hunting scene with a nice hare.
