the palace of the golden apples: buda castle from the chain bridge
another case of washington’s axe . . destroyed by christian artillery in the siege of ottoman buda in 1686, again by the hungarian army when defended by the austrians in 1849, and again by russian artillery and the german/hungarian defence in the siege of 1944, the current complex bears no material relationship to the structures of the past.

Olite, Navarre by Arnim Schulz on Flickr.
Olite (Erriberri in Basque language) is a town and located in the Navarre, Spain.
According to Isidore of Seville’s Historia de regibus Gothorum, Vandalorum et Suevorum, the town of Oligicus was founded by Swinthila, Visigothic King of Hispania (621-631) in order to control and punish the Vascones. However, this town was not heard of again until five centuries later, when the present-day town was founded and chartered. The Royal Palace of Olite, a fine Gothic castle-palace, was the royal seat of Charles III of Navarre.
