Grand Mosque of Paris, France

The Grand Mosque of Paris was built between 1922 and 1926 to honour the North African countries that helped France during World War I and the thousands of Muslims who lost their lives in the fight. During World War II it provided shelter to Jews, even issuing false birth certificates to ensure their safety.
The Hispano Moorish building is dominated by the 33m tall minaret. Inspired by the Al Alhambra the garden includes pools, fountains and luxuriant vegetation, a small oasis in the middle of Paris.
People are also drawn to the Mosque for its superb tea room, the restaurant and the Hamman.

Opening hours: 9am to 12pm and 2 pm to 7 pm (6pm in Winter).
Entrance fee: €3 (Nov. 2017)












Local: 2bis Place du Puits de l'Ermite, 75005 Paris, França

Church of Santa Maria de Belém, Lisbon, Portugal

Image
The church of Santa Maria de Belém originated from the expansion,  ordered by Henry the Navigator in the 15th century,  of a previous hermitage built on the site. The new church was trusted to the Order of Christ- of which Henry the Navigator was the Grand Master- to help the seamen that passed by Belém, as the hermitage had done before. In 1501, by order of King D. Manuel I, the Monastery of the Hieronymites started being built and the small church was totally remodelled in the Manueline and Renaissance styles. It was the king's wish that the church should become a pantheon for the dynasty (Avis-Beja) started by him, and that it continued to help the travellers passing through Belém. Like the Monastery, the church was significantly restored in the 19th century. Inside the church are the tombs of several historical figures: Luís de Camões, one of Portugal's greatest poets who lived in the 16th century, Vasco da Gama, the first navigator to go to In...

Martim Moniz Square, Lisbon, Portugal

Image
According to legend, Martim Moniz was a knight in D. Afonso Henrique's army during the city's reconquest in 1147 (D. Afonso Henriques was the first king of Portugal). Seeing one of the gates open he threw himself into the breach, allowing for the invading army to enter at the cost of his own life. Martim Moniz square results from the demolition of Lower Mouraria in the mid 20th century, including the street after which the square is named. Only the chapel of Our Lady of Good Health survived the demolition. In the 90s the city council decided to make the toponym official and maintain the homage to the hero of questionable existence. During many years the square looked very degraded, until 2012, when the city council decided to renovate, adding new kiosks and esplanades. This square is also known as Lisbon's Chinatown, due to the existence of many Chinese and Indian shopkeepers. The fountain is a reference to the old wall, of which only an unrecognizable tower rem...

Dwejra Tower, Gozo, Malta

Image
The Dwejra Tower was built in 1652 (along with others) during the reign of the Grand Master Lascaris, to guard the Dwejra coast. The tower also guarded the "Fungus Rock", preventing anyone unauthorised by the Order of Saint John from collecting the famous Maltese fungus, erroneously believed to have unique medicinal properties. Anyone caught stealing the plant could be sentenced to death. The tower remained in use until 1873 after which it fell in disrepair. It was restored in 1999. It's one of four surviving coastal watchtowers in Gozo. It's close to one of the best diving spots in the Mediterranean, the Dwejra Bay. Opening hours : Sun to Fri- 10.30 to 12.30 and 13.15 to 15.30, if the flag is flying. Entrance free . How to get there : You can reach the island of Gozo by ferry ( link here ).

Archaeological excavations in Lisbon's Cathedral Cloister, Portugal

Image
Archaeological excavations in Lisbon's Cathedral Cloister started in 1990. These excavations have unearthed remnants of human presence since the Iron Age.It's possible to see the remains of a Roman road with shops on both sides. This road would have connected the Roman Theater to the port area. From the Roman period, there's also part of a kitchen and a "cloaca" (sewage system).From later periods there are traces of Visigothic buildings and a very visible part of a Moorish building with red walls, probably related with the Mosque that once stood on the site where Lisbon's cathedral was built. Opening hours : 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ticket (standard) : €2.5 (€4 combined with the Treasury), cash only. Roman road and shops. Roman sewage system close to a Moorish public building. Moorish building.
