<p>This is a B/W photograph of the façade (western aspect) of the five-aisled basilica dedicated to Saint Dimitrios (aka St. Dēmētrios, a Roman officer who was martyred in the late 3rd century AD) in Thessaloniki, Greece. He is the patron Saint of the city. There is usually a crowd of pilgrims and praying worshippers outside the church throughout the day, as seen in this photograph, too. The Saint's feast day is celebrated on October 26.<br />
<br />
The church was built in the 4th century AD at the Saint's martyrdom site; it was expanded into a large basilica in the 7th century. It was converted into a mosque in 1491 (Salonica's Casimiye Mosque) and so it remained until 1912. After the Great Fire of 1917 the basilica was rebuilt anew.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/paulodykes/55604171676/" title="Delphi | Δελφοί-16"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55604171676_d3ec53c311_m.jpg" width="160" height="240" alt="Delphi | Δελφοί-16" /></a></p>

<p>&quot;Delphi (/ˈdɛlfaɪ, ˈdɛlfi/; Greek: Δελφοί [ðelˈfi]),[a] in legend previously called Pytho (Πυθώ), was an ancient sacred precinct in central Greece. It was the seat of Pythia, the major oracle who was consulted about important decisions throughout the ancient classical world. The ancient Greeks considered the centre of the world to be in Delphi, marked by the stone monument known as the Omphalos of Delphi. The term omphalos was the Greek word for 'navel.'<br />
<br />
&quot;According to the Suda, Delphi took its name from the Delphyne, the she-serpent (drakaina) who lived there and was killed by the god Apollo (in other accounts the serpent was the male serpent (drakon) Python). The sacred precinct occupies a delineated region on the southwestern slope of Mount Parnassus. It is now an extensive archaeological site, and since 1938, it has been a part of Parnassos National Park.<br />
<br />
&quot;The precinct is recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in having had a great influence in the ancient world, as evidenced by the various monuments built there by most of the important ancient Greek city-states, demonstrating their fundamental Hellenic unity.&quot;<br />

<p>The Church of Archangel Michael (Μιχαήλ Αρχάγγελος) in Ierapetra in Crete features Byzantine-inspired architecture with terracotta-red domes, arched windows and a prominent central cupola. Its contrasting colours and rounded forms give the building a distinctive appearance.</p>
