▴ Málaga

The Cathedral of Málaga, locally known as 'La Manquita' or 'The One-Armed Lady', was never completed. Its second tower remains unfinished due to redirected funding in the 18th century. Nonetheless, the building stands as a striking centerpiece of the old town of Málaga, especially when it catches the warm evening light during golden hour.

The Dugald Stewart Monument is a memorial to the Scottish philosopher Dugald Stewart. It is situated on Calton Hill overlooking the city of Edinburgh and was designed by Scottish architect William Henry Playfair.

Looking over the town of Edinburgh, this view is one of the most-iconic you'll find in lovely Edinburgh. Read more at www.visitscotland.com/info/see-do/calton-hill-and-national-monument-p1419631!

The Oudemanhuispoort courtyard is a hidden gem in the city center. Tucked between Kloveniersburgwal and Oudezijds Achterburgwal, it’s part of a 17th-century complex originally built as a shelter for the elderly. Now owned by the University of Amsterdam, it hosts the Faculty of Humanities and student housing. 👩‍🎓🧑‍🎓🏛️📚

The courtyard is accessed through a covered passage known for its secondhand book market. Midway, a door opens to the quiet garden with benches, a lawn, and rose bushes… A calm escape in the heart of the city. 🌹

In the middle of the city’s ‘Red Light District’ stands the “Oude Kerk”, the city’s oldest building, founded in 1️⃣3️⃣0️⃣6️⃣. Its vast wooden ceiling, gives the Gothic interior a unique atmosphere. 🧖‍♀️🕯️

The church shifted from Catholic to Protestant after the 1️⃣5️⃣7️⃣8️⃣ Reformation. Many locals were buried here, including some prominent figures, like Saskia van Uylenburgh, Rembrandt’s wife. 🪦☠️ 🎨

Now a cultural venue, it hosts exhibitions, concerts & art. Though no longer used for services, its historic soul remains alive at the Oudekerksplein. ⛪

The houseboat “Rumah Saya” is a motor tjalk located at the intersection of Keizersgracht and Amstel. This historic vessel, built in 1893, measures approximately 16.7 meters in length and 3.7 meters in width. ⛵

In Indonesian, rumah saya literally means “my house” (rumah = house, saya = I/my). In Malay, it has the same meaning. 🇮🇩🇲🇾🏠

The houseboat is situated in a prime location, close to the “National Opera”, “Koninklijk Theater Carré”, “Museum De Hermitage”, and the “Magere Brug”. 📸

The white building on the left is the facade of the third oldest bar in town. It first opened in 1️⃣6️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ and it’s still there. For over 15 years, a sign behind the windows read: “Not for sale or rent.”💰🤷🏻‍♂️

And yet, dozens, maybe even hundreds of people dropped a note in the mailbox, hoping to take over the legendary Amsterdam café Brandon. In vain…🧾😥

The old proprietors, the Brandon family, lived above the establishment, and as long as they were alive, it would remain closed. 🔒

The café is located at Keizersgracht (corner of Leliegracht), on the edge of the Jordaan. 🍺 🍷
