Chiesa della Santissima Annunziata dei Catalani di Messina.

Description
Prospetta sulla piazzetta Lepanto di fronte al tardocinquecentesco monumento a Don Giovanni D'Austria di Andrea Calamech, eretta tra XII e XIII secolo sotto Guglielmo il Buono, forse sui resti di un preesistente tempio pagano, e così denominata perché sede della Confraternita dei mercanti catalani. In essa, massima espressione dell'arte arabo-normanna in Sicilia, si fondono magnificamente gli stili bizantino, romanico, arabo e normanno, come appare dalla parte absidale, con transetto sormontato da una cupoletta cilindrica al arcate cieche su colonnine e strette finestre, in un gioco cromatico di geometrie armoniche e vivaci.

Circulo de Bellas Artes, Madrid

Description
El Círculo de Bellas Artes (CBA) es un importante centro cultural de Madrid, fundado en 1880 gracias a los esfuerzos de un reducido grupo de artistas y que continuó reuniendo a principios del s. XX a intelectuales tales como Jacinto Benavente, Picasso o Valle-Inclán. El edificio, creado en 1919 por el arquitecto Antonio Palacios surge de una combinación de formas y estilos, sobre todo en su fachada lateral, en la que distintas fachadas se unen para formar una sola. En ella se mezclan elementos clásicos y modernos, sobre todo de Art Decó. En su interior, la planta se divide en tres ejes paralelos a la calle Alcalá, con un amplio salón de estancia, el acceso principal, el vestíbulo, la escalera monumental y el teatro como elementos destacados de este edificio plurifuncional. Actualmente este edificio se utiliza para actos culturales tales como esposiciones, espectáculos, cine, etc.

Description
(ca. 1929) Although this building was not constructed until about 1929, it appears to have been built on a stone foundation that existed as early as 1891. The original brick cladding of the front façade is visible above and to either side of the storefront, although the storefront has been extensively altered with new windows, doors and siding. The building does have a full dirt basement and a stone foundation. This building housed the Cheney Post Office about 1939.
