Crowns are symbols of power, faith, and identity.

Let’s discover 15 of the world’s most impressive crowns — tangible relics of history

(a thread 🧵)

1. Iron Crown of Lombardy

It is believed to date back to the early Middle Ages, possibly the 4th–5th century AD. Has a narrow iron band, traditionally said to have been forged from a nail of Christ’s cross.

The crown is preserved in the Cathedral of Monza, near Milan.

2. Spain’s Crown of the Gothic Kings (c. 8th century, Visigothic)

Not intended for wear, but rather offered as a religious tribute. Gold and dangling gems, it’s one of the oldest surviving, found in the Guarrazar Treasure, now in Madrid’s National Archaeological Museum.

Let's take a quick look at one of Paris' most magnificent landmarks: the Hôtel de Ville!

(all ph: raphaelmetivet)

Located in the heart of Paris, the Hôtel de Ville boasts stunning Renaissance Revival architecture and a rich history. The original building, dating back to 1357, was destroyed by fire in 1871. Today, we see a magnificent 19th-century reconstruction that preserves the spirit of the original.

The Hôtel de Ville boasts magnificent rooms. One of the highlights is the Salle des Fêtes, a grand ballroom that's used for official receptions and events. You'll also find the stunning Salon des Arcades and the Salle du Conseil, each featuring exquisite decorations and artwork.

Today, 550 years ago, greatest artist known to mankind was born — Michelangelo Bonarroti.

Let's discover some of his most iconic masterpieces.

A thread🧵

Born on March 6, 1475, in Caprese, Italy, and grew up in Florence, Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni would go on to create some of the most iconic works in human history, showcasing exceptional skills in sculpting, painting, architecture, and poetry.

Michelangelo's dad was a minor noble who thought art was beneath them.

But Michelangelo was all about that art life, apprenticing with Ghirlandaio at just 13. He saw marble as his calling — and the rest is history.
