Amalienborg Square - Copenhagen - Denmark
The stately square at Amalienborg Palace, where the royal guard changes every day at noon and Danes gather every year on April 16th to celebrate the queen's birthday. The inspiration for Amalienborg Slotsplads is taken from the French Baroque Period, and leading examples of this are the Place Vend?me in Paris and the Place Dauphine in Versailles. Slotspladsen is flanked by four palaces and has Frederikskirken (Frederik's Church) as its focal point in much the same way as Place Dauphine in Versailles is flanked by four palaces and has a church as ""point de vue"". The four palaces were originally built by and for four families of nobility, among them the Moltke and the Gyldenl°ve families. The statue in the middle of the square is known as Saly's equestrian statue. It took the French sculptor, Jacques Francois-Joseph Saly almost 20 years to create the statue, which today is recognised as one of Europe's most famous equestrian statues. The monument depicts Frederik V and was unveiled in 1771. A group of marines drove the 22-ton statue across Kongens Nytorv to a 27-gun salute and the curious eyes of thousands of interested onlookers.

Beatitute Church - Galil
Galil. The Sea of Galilee is a harp-shaped lake set in the sun-drenched Jordan Valley and framed by lush vegetation and imposing mountains. The character of the lake surface is ever changing, different at each hour. The Sea of Galilee is Israel's largest freshwater lake and is fed by underground springs, but mostly by the Jordan River. It lies 200 meters below sea level, and is the major source of fresh water for the whole of Israel. Fresh water, a warm climate, and fertile soil have made the lake shores a virtual paradise since ancient times, from prehistoric man to the first modern pioneers.
