The Spanish Synagogue is the most recent synagogue in Prague's Jewish quarter. It was built in 1868 and called "Spanish" for its impressive Moorish interior decoration, influenced by the Andalusian Alhambra.

Via @oldenoughtosay over at the Ex Bird Place:

"The National Gallery in London is renovating its Sainsbury Wing and they’ve just found a secret letter from one of the original donors, sunk into a concrete column, saying that he hates the columns and is glad they’re being demolished. 10/10 unhinged rich man behaviour, no notes"

Here are the columns...

And here's the letter.

The Tulip Stairs, the first centrally unsupported stairs in London, England, inspired by a Venetian design, showcase intricate stone treads that interlock seamlessly with the wall, creating an iconic upward perspective. The restored wrought-iron rail, adorned in its original smalt blue hue, adds to the staircase's striking beauty. Though often described as depicting tulips, the floral motifs are likely lilies, paying homage to Henrietta Maria, the queen consort of England and the royal flower of France.
