Day and night photos of the San Francisco City Hall.The building was rebuilt in 1906 after the earthquake with a dome larger than that of the United States Capital and based on the same design as the Hagia Sophia Grand Mosque in Istanbul.The building hosts all the city’s civic administration and is also a popular venue for weddings averaging 50 per day, with over 2000 wedding ceremonies performed on Valentine’s Day this year….when I was inside the building it seemed that on every floor and available space a wedding was taking place 😅#sanfrancisco #architecture #photography #travel #photooftheday by @windsorwanderer

Brindisi’s major war memorial is the Monument to the Italian Sailor (Monumento al Marinaio d’Italia), a striking 53 metre brutalist structure shaped like a giant ship’s rudder.Commissioned by Benito Mussolini, then Prime Minister of Italy, the monument was constructed in 1933 to honour the memory of around 6,000 sailors who perished in the First World War.Brindisi was chosen over other cities like La Spezia and Trieste due to its significant role during the Great War.#italy #travel #photography #architecture #exploretheworld by @windsorwanderer

Brindisi Cathedral is a beautiful historic landmark located in the heart of Brindisi’s old town on Piazza Duomo.Originally consecrated by Pope Urban II in 1089, this blend of Romanesque and Baroque architecture is deeply tied to medieval Crusader history.The original Romanesque structure was heavily damaged in a devastating 1743 earthquake, and was rebuilt which led to the striking Baroque facade we see today 😎#travel #photography #explore #adventure #architecture by @windsorwanderer
