building_nistrenian_palace_01:1 "Palace of Soroca"
|

building_nistrenian_palace_01_desc:0 "The Palace of Soroca was constructed during the height of Nistrenia’s power atop Gypsy Hill connected to the Dniester via walls. The palace is famous for its countless bronze statues and imposing towers reaching into the sky. The vast complex is the residence of the Imperial Family and houses the Imperial Regalia of the Pearl Crown and Aquila Sceptre. \n\nWithin its walls exists the Saint Adriana Cathedral, its crypt serving as the place of entombment for the members of Imperial Dynasties. Below the palace proper is the University of Soroca, and to its south the Cazac Hipodrom."

building_type_mount_athos_01_desc: "Mount Athos, the Holy Mountain and ancient garden of the Mother of God, was for two millennia the greatest refuge of Orthodox monasticism. Its monasteries preserved the prayers, writings, icons, and traditions of the Church through generations of calamity. Under the rule of the Theomachs, however, the Holy Mountain was sacked, its monasteries burned, its sacred images destroyed, and much of its ancient inheritance scattered or lost. Now the ruins stand as an affront to the Mother of God, the faithful must restore the Holy Mountain."building_mount_athos_01: "$building_type_mount_athos_01$"

building_mount_athos_01_desc: "The once-great monasteries of Mount Athos lie broken after the sacking. Their walls are blackened, their churches ruined, and their libraries and treasuries emptied. A few monks have returned to the ruins, praying among the shattered remains and beginning the long work of restoring the Holy Mountain."

building_mount_athos_02_desc: "The restoration of Mount Athos has begun in earnest. Monks have returned to the rebuilt monasteries, churches are once again filled with prayer, and surviving books, relics, and icons are being gathered from across the Orthodox world. The Holy Mountain is slowly becoming a home for monastic life once more."

building_mount_athos_03_desc: "Mount Athos has risen from its state of ruin. The monasteries have been rebuilt, the churches reconsecrated, and the Athonite traditions restored by new generations of monks. The Holy Mountain once more stands as the foremost spiritual centre of the Orthodoxy, and the brotherhoods once more preserve the faith for generations yet to come."

building_meteora_02_desc: "As more and more hermit monks seeked refuge on the hollowed peaks of Meteora, more and more monasteries started to appear.\nMan's dominion over hostile nature here is still very feeble, though; the monasteries are extremely hard to reach, mostly relying only on ladders, ropes, hand-hauling, and #EMP prayers#!, as the fall in case of equipment's failure is lethal."

building_type_mount_athos_01_desc: "According to tradition, the Virgin Mary was sailing from Palestine to Cyprus to visit her son's friend, Lazarus, who was evangelizing the island, when the ship was blown off-course and forced to land here, by Mount Athos. When Mary disembarked, she was in awe of the natural beauty of the area, so she blessed it and asked for it as her own garden. A voice from Heaven granted her wish; since then, the area is considered holy and is forbidden to any other woman."

Twenty monasteries currently exist on Mt. Athos, making it one of the largest and more influential monastic communities in the area."

building_apollinare_nuovo_desc: "The Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo has only gained its current name recently, when the relics of Saint Apollinaris were transferred from the neighboring Basilica in Classe. Its history, however, is much longer.\nFirst consecrated in the early 6th century by King Theodoric of the Ostrogoths as an Arian church, the building has seen many renovations both in structure and decoration while maintaining its unique style — an elegant mixture of western and eastern art — and its amazing Byzantine mosaics."
