Fujian Fortified Manors - China

An aerial drone photo taken on May 21, 2025 shows a Tulou among mountains in Longyan, southeast China's Fujian Province. Fujian Tulou, the unique residential architecture of Fujian Province constructed between the 15th and 20th centuries, was inscribed on the UNESCO's World Heritage List in 2008. Set amongst rice, tea and tobacco fields, Tulou is earthen house. Several storeys high, it was built along an inward-looking, circular or square floor plan as housing for up to 800 people each. Tulou was built for defence purposes around a central open courtyard with only one entrance and windows to the outside only above the first floor. Housing a whole clan, Tulou functioned as village units and was known as "a little kingdom for the family" or "bustling small city." Photo by Wang Zecong/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM

Old French Orphanage Turned Into a Cafe - Istanbul

Palais Saint-Eugène was built in 1868 as an orphanage and was named as Saint-Joseph House. In the 20th century, it became Garabet Cezayirliyan's plasterboard workshop. Later, Kemal Cinbiz took over the workshop. The building also housed the world's only known plasterboard museum. In the plasterboard museum, there were pieces of plasterboard from buildings such as Dolmabahçe Palace, the Pera Museum, Sultan Adile's Palace and Sait Halim Pasha's mansion. The building, whose papier-mache museum on the upper floor was closed in 2020, also hosted the 2022 Istanbul Biennial. Today, the building is empty. Now, in its garden, there's a cafe called Tophane Mekan, which belongs to the municipality of Beyoglu, on April 2025 in Istanbul Turkey. Photo by Ilker Eray/ABACAPRESS.COM
