Italy 🇮🇹, Rome, Church of Santa Maria in Campitelli
Baroque Church of Santa Maria in Campitelli erected in 1662-1667 to store the venerated icon of the Mother of God, considered miraculous. The icon is called Santa Maria in Portico (St. Mary in the portico), dates from the 11th century and is made in a rare enamel technique for Rome.
The Romans prayed to this icon for salvation from the plague. When in 1656 a particularly terrible plague epidemic that struck Rome began to wane, grateful citizens decided to build a new church for the icon.
The miraculous icon is placed above the main altar of the church, and is surrounded by a magnificent gilded frame with twisted columns (photo 2), made by Giovanni Antonio de Rossi and Ercole Ferrata.

Parkroyal on Pickering Garden Hotel in Singapore 🌳
Building a new multi-storey hotel complex on the border with the park, the architects set themselves the task of at least doubling the "green potential" of the site. The creation of vertical gardens helped to achieve this: green oases are not only laid out around the hotel, but also integrated into the building every four floors.
Thanks to this solution, the hotel becomes a kind of continuation of the park, as if lifting it off the ground

Maldives 🇲🇻
A unique experience that you can get in the Maldives is swimming with nurse sharks.

If you decide to swim with them, it is important not to make too sudden movements so as not to frighten them and provoke aggression.
USA 🇺🇸, McWay Falls
McWay Falls is located in Julia-Pfeiffer-Burns State Park in California.
Its height is 24 meters. Initially, its waters fell directly into the ocean, but after landslides, McWay "meets" the ocean only at high tide. The rest of the time, the water "catches up" with the ocean along a small strip of sandy beach.
The latter is difficult to reach for hikers, but you can easily get there by boat.
