For the first time I found the possibility of visiting the Palazzo dei Trecento during the exhibition commemorating the 100 years of the Air Force. It was a great experience. Ours was very interesting and intriguing, from the photos explained in detail to the samples of suits, even a fighter model. set up outside, it is a marvel for admirers. For those who didn't have the chance, I leave two photos. ??

Palazzo dei Trecento, also known as Palazzo della Ragione, is one of the most important architectures in the historic centre of Treviso, overlooking Piazza dei Signori. Usually open for exhibitions and events. I was there to see the photographic exhibition for the 100 years of the military air force, very beautiful..

Splendid building in the historic center of Treviso. The council chamber which can be visited contains the coats of arms of the city families and is a wooden splendour. Too bad that probably due to the war destruction of 44 this splendid building is surrounded by semi-modern buildings

A visit to this ancient palace completed in the second half of 1200 is well worth it. Maybe accompanied by a bit of history.

Temple of Edfu

The Temple of Edfu is one of the best preserved ancient shrines in Egypt. It was built in the Ptolemaic Kingdom between 237 and 57 BC.

Edfu was one of several temples built during the Ptolemaic Kingdom, including the Dendera Temple complex, Esna, the Temple of Kom Ombo, and Philae. Its size reflects the relative prosperity of the time. The present temple initially consisted of a pillared hall, two transverse halls, and a barque sanctuary surrounded by chapels. The building was started during the reign of Ptolemy III Euergetes and completed in 57 BC under Ptolemy XII Auletes. It was built on the site of an earlier, smaller temple also dedicated to Horus, although the previous structure was oriented east–west rather than north–south as in the present site.
