Step back in time to the 13th century, a period of great cultural and historical significance. Explore the Hereford Mappa Mundi, a stunning masterpiece created by Richard de Bello in 1285. This ink and color on parchment map provides a fascinating glimpse into the world as it was known at that time. Travel to London, where another remarkable Mappa Mundi was crafted around 1265. Marvel at this intricate depiction of the world's geography and landmarks, showcasing London's importance as a hub of knowledge and exploration during this era. Venture further west to Carreg Cennen Castle, nestled within the breathtaking Brecon Beacons National Park in Wales. Stand atop its ancient walls and imagine life in medieval times when knights roamed these lands. In Paradiso, Canto 31, witness an ethereal sight as saintly figures form a celestial rose in the empyrean sky. This poetic image captures the spiritual essence of the era with its devotion to faith and divine beauty. Cross over Monnow Bridge and Gate in Monmouthshire, Wales - an architectural gem that has stood for centuries. Picture merchants passing through its arches while trade flourished along the River Monnow below. Journey south to Caerphilly Castle - an imposing fortress that showcases both power and grandeur. Built by Angevin kings who held vast territories across France and Britain during this period, it stands as a testament to their dominance. Marvel at Islamic carvings adorning Alhambra Palace in Spain - exquisite artistry from Muslim culture during this epoch. These intricate designs reflect both religious devotion and skilled craftsmanship. Witness St Elizabeth of Hungary spinning wool for those less fortunate - an act of charity depicted beautifully in art from 1901. It serves as a reminder that even amidst political turmoil, compassion remained central to society's fabric. Finally, visit Papal Palace located in Avignon, France - a symbol of the Catholic Church's influence during this time.
