"Exploring the Riches of the 16th Century: From Lisbon to Moscow" Step back in time and immerse yourself in the captivating world of the 16th century. Journey through Portugal, where architectural marvels like the Belem Tower stand as testaments to a glorious past. Designed by architect Francisco de Arruda, this iconic tower in Lisbon has stood tall since its completion between 1515 and 1521. Venture further into Spain's New Castile region, where Madrid Province beckons with its majestic Royal Monastery of Escurial. This grand structure showcases the opulence and power that characterized this era. In Portugal's Alentejo region lies Evora, a city steeped in history. Giraldo Square and the church of Santo Antao transport you back to the vibrant atmosphere of the 16th century AD when these landmarks were built. Returning to Lisbon, one cannot help but be mesmerized by Belem Tower once again. Its imposing presence on the banks of Tagus River is a constant reminder of Portugal's maritime prowess during this period. Traveling across borders, we find ourselves in Italy's Umbria region at Santa Maria della Consolazione in Todi. This stunning example of Renaissance architecture takes us on a visual journey through time. Back in Russia, Moscow's Kremlin stands proud with its Bell Tower of Ivan Great – an awe-inspiring structure that has watched over centuries unfold since it was built during the 16th century. Notable figures from this era come alive before our eyes. Francisco Verdugo, Spanish military commander during the Dutch Revolt, commands attention with his portrait captured by Jan Reckleben. Meanwhile, William Shakespeare captivates audiences even today as we picture him engrossed in reading his timeless works. Yet amidst all these triumphs and achievements lies an enigma - The Lost Colony of Roanoke off North Carolina’s coast remains a haunting mystery.
