Westminster Today For centuries, Westminster was the political and religious center, but today Westminster is the center of government. Westminster Hall was built in 1099 by the son of William the Conqueror and is one of the largest medieval halls. It was part of the Westminster Palace, which was destroyed by a fire in 1834. The Houses of Parliament that we see today were rebuilt in the 19th century after the fire. The Big Ben clock tower is the largest four-sided ringing clock in the world and it is also one of the London's most famous symbols. Some think that Big Ben is the name of the clock on the tower, but actually it is the name of the big 13-ton bell that rings every fifteen minutes. The most historic religious building in Britain is Westminster Abbey, a beautiful church across the street from the Houses of Parliament. It was begun between 1042 and 1065 when the English king Edward the Confessor built a churc...

London History The Romans AD 43- AD 410 The Romans finally invaded Britain in AD 43 from Kent. The Romans lead by Julius Caesar attempted to invade Britain twice before that in 55 and 54 BC but the invasions were unsuccessful. They made their way to the river Thames and sailed up it. The Romans knew it was important to control a crossing point at the river Thames, so they decided to build a settlement on the north bank. Although small settlements had been built on the banks of the Thames, the Romans were the ones who built the first city. They called their city Londinium. The Roman engineers noticed that the point where the swampy river narrowed would make an ideal crossing point, they built London Bridge. Less than 20 years later the native Iceni tribe, led by Queen Boudicca, rose up against the Romans in revenge for mistreatment and burnt Londinium to the ground. The well disciplined Roman army defeated her forces and Londinium was r...

History exam *Stonehenge - is a monument located in England. It is one of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world and is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. The surrounding circular, earth bank and ditch, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Stonehenge was produced by a culture with no written language. Many aspects of Stonehenge remain subject to debate.

Adriaen Thomasz Key oli flaami renessansiaja juhtiva portreemaalija Willem Key kauge sugulane ja �pilane. Eriti tema 1570ndate aastate t��d on silmapaistvalt sarnased �petaja omadega. Olgugi et Key tegi mitmele Antwerpeni kirikule altari- maale, sealhulgas ka frantsiskaani kiriku peaaltarile, imetletakse teda eelk�ige kui v�imekat ja t�etruud portretisti. P�rast Antwerpeni h�vitamist hispaanlaste poolt 1576. aastal j�i kalvinistist Key siiski oma kodulinna, kuigi paljud protestandid p�genesid p�hja poole. Juba eluajal pidi Key olema v�ga austatud kunstnik, kuna ta maalis mitmeid portreesid Oranje prints Williamist, Madalmaade iseseisvusv�itluse juhist Hispaania v�imu ajal. Key hilisemad portreed, mis kujutavad peamiselt Antwerpeni kodanikke, panevad suuremat r�hku poseeri- jate staatusele, olles ilmselt m�jutatud Antonis Morist. Tema chiaroscuro-puul�iked viitavad Flaami itaaliap�rase kunstniku Frans Florise eeskujule. Adriaen Thomasz ...
