The Fort de Tournoux is a fortification complex in the Ubaye Valley in the French Alps. It was built between 1843 and the early 20th century to defend France against invasion from Italy and Savoy. It was described as the 'Military Versailles of the 19th century,' resembling a Tibetan monastery on the mountainside above the Ubaye. The fort is actually an ensemble of fortifications, including some 'batteries' that rival the main fort in size and power.

Purchased a PS4 1200 from his shop and the owner of the shop genuinely sold me 18% (Rs.5,000) cheaper than the market. The owner was very nice, and offered me a cup of tea. He's a genuine and a nice guy and tries to make customers better than doing business. He even sold me cheaper than the OLX, I checked the PS4 and it is working like a charm just as new. For those, who don't want to get scammed and want a cheaper price, buy games or consoles from this guy, he'll give you the lowest pricing possible with 100% authentic products. I genuinely like his business deal, he's a very nice person ?? and true gentleman, salute to his originality ?. Market price was 43,000, and he sold me at 38,000 only just so I can become his customer ?.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
