Fresh from my visit to the architectural playground of Seattle’s Central Library, I’m looking through some of the more interesting architecture I’ve found along the way on my travels. There was the intricately ornate Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de La Merced in Antigua, Guatemala.
The view of towers surrounding New York’s 9/11 Memorial, still under construction at the time of my visit, will stay with me forever.
I’ll never forget my surprise at seeing the soaring interior of the Franciscan Monastery of Mount St. Sepulchre on the outskirts of Washington DC.
Last but not least, the warm and cosy facade of Bewley’s coffee shop on Dublin‘s Grafton Street, all decked out for the holidays. It is still one of my favourite places to snuggle up with a cup of coffee.
If you would like to build upon this theme and join in this week’s travel photo challenge (everyone’s welcome), here’s what to do:
- Create your own post and title it Travel theme: Architecture
- Include a link to this page in your post so others can find it too
- Get your post in by next Thursday, as the new travel theme comes out on Friday
- Don’t forget to subscribe to keep up to date on the latest weekly travel themes. Sign up via the email subscription link in the sidebar or RSS – I’m in the process of changing over to a new website host but will give you all a heads up when the changeover happens. If you’re following via email there won’t be a change but if you’re following via WordPress you will need to sign up for email or RSS.
Looking forward to seeing what you construct for this week’s theme.

Ailsa, love your beautiful photo of Iglesia de Nuestra Senora de La Merced and of course I’m partial to the Franciscan Monastery, having visited there myself after your suggestion! Here’s my entry this week, from Spain and Portugal: http://catbirdineurope.wordpress.com/2013/08/12/travel-theme-architecture/

I love this theme this week Ailsa. I am going to have to do mine in two parts. Here is my first attempt.

BTW I love the detail of the Iglesia. The photo you took of the new tower at the World Trade Center leaves me with mixed feelings. It is a rebirth, but I would love to have seen the original towers.

Great theme!!! I went a different route than all the gorgeous and majestic architecture I have been seeing and showed the relocation/rebuilding of a 1876 log cabin my brother is doing. http://avacationinmymind.com/2013/08/13/travel-theme-architecture/
