They’ll dedicate you everything they have, if loved. Even, if the women belong to any walk of life or whatever position or status they’re enjoying, they’ll never ignore their main responsibilities. Women of all races, sects, religions or nations deserve true respect and prestige. The purpose of the Women of the Lovely Planet series is to pay a special tribute to the women of the world. We honor the roles of the mother, the sister, the aunt, the wife and the daughter as they toil the most for their families. The women of the lovely planet are the special gifts of God on earth and they are created to be loved as they love us for our all defects.

Check out these fantastic images of the women of the lovely planet taken by some wonderful photographers;

Kuressaare is a small city of the Saaremaa island of Estonia which is situated on the coast of Riga Gulf. This is a historic city which was emerged on the world map around twelfth century B.C. The most prominent place is obviously Kuressaare Castle which architecture of the medieval style and the main city has also flourished around the Kuressaare Castle.

Kuressaare Castle of Estonia is an important monument in whole of the Baltic region as this building has not undergone many amendments in its structure. In fact, the Kuressaare Castle has restrained itself to its original monumental beauty so its aesthetic significance is doubled.

Kuressaare Castle of Estonia

According to the historians, the reason to build the Kuressaare Castle was the war of the Estonians with the German feudals as a result of which the Saaremaa surrendered to the German crusaders. And this area was converted into a German Feudal state. But the complete domination of the Germans over the Estonians was not possible and there were frequent uprising and rebellions. So the construction of the Kuressaare Castle might would had been started at that time. However the first documented data about the Kuressaare castle originate only from 1380s.

The outside wall of the Kuressaare Castlel

The structure of the Kuressaare Castle was kept of convent type due to its function as it was the administrative centre of the district and to establish a proper shelter place for maximum people in case of a war. The Kuressaare Castle remained the residence for the bishops of Saare-Lääne Bishopric until the beginning of the Livonian War.  Many cannon towers and higher walls were built during this time. In the middle of the sixteenth century the Kuressaare Castle was sold to the Danes who further modernized the defense system of the Kuressaare Castle. On the ground of Brömsebro peace treaty in 1645, Sweden took possession of Saaremaa and the Swedish improved the fortification system of the Kuressaare Castle. On September 15, 1710 the Swedish Army surrendered to the Russian army without any resistance. The Russian garrison left in the spring of 1711. However, the Kuressaare Castle remained no more important for Russia especially after the division of Poland when the Russians built Bomarsund castle in the vicinity of Stockholm. Finally, the Kuressaare Castle was purchased by the Knighthood of Saaremaa and the building was renovated.

However, the proper rehabilitation of the Kuressaare Castle was initiated in 1968 which lasted for almost one decade. The fortification walls, classical floors, windowpanes, cannon towers and the defense gallery were restored in their medieval patterns. Lots of renovation activities were also started in order to give the Kuressaare Castle of Estonia a pure look of a Middle Ages construction.

Krakow-terra incognita, a place, which you do not expect to see, waiting to be discovered …

The question, asked a random person on the streets of New York, Berlin and Tokyo, “What do you associate Poland with”, without a moment’s thought will hear the answer: “John Paul II”, “Lech Walesa”, “pierogis” and, of course Krakow , the pearl of Poland! It is one of the oldest (loc.987) and the most beautiful cities in Europe; the top destination in Europe in 2007 (Orbitz) and selected European Capital of Culture in 2000 …

What really attracts our attention in this town?

The unique character of the city, monuments; moving through the streets, you can participate in a living history lesson ;a magic place full of art and culture … often called “the Polish Bohemia“.

Krakow old town main square

Over a hundred years, Poland did not exist as a country on the map of Europe. Probably it would disappear forever if not for people who have preserved small fragments of the country in their hearts, minds and pockets.In this dark period of history, Krakow was a special place – a city which attracted artists from everywhere and people of culture, to speak and write about Poland, to paint their portraits and leave future generations traces forming national identity.

Noteworthy is definitely the kings, medieval Wawel Royal Castle, the seat of Polish kings, shrouded in legend of the Wawel dragon …;The Wawel Cathedral, the coronation place of Polish kings, burial place of kings, the great chiefs and seers nation, and President Lech Kaczynski and his wife Maria Kaczynska. We cannot forget the Old Town - since 1978 a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The main sights of Krakow’s Old Town is located on The Main Market Square(the largest medieval town square in Europe): St. Mary’s Church (gothic church built in 13 century. Standing 80m tall, it is particularly famous for its wooden altarpiece carved by Veit Stoss);The Renaissance Cloth Hall(It was once a major centre of international trade. Traveling merchants met there to discuss business and to barter)and the Town Hall Tower(Its cellars once housed a city prison with a Medieval torture chamber) and the remains of defensive walls – Florian’s Gate and the Barbican.

St Mary's Church - Krakow

We cannot also forget about Kazimierz Town Hall(15th century Kazimierz is a historical district of Kraków (Poland), best known for being home to a Jewish community from the 14th century until the Second World War).

The culmination of our historic trip through the streets of Krakow will be the Kosciuszko Mound where we can see the panoramic view of the Vistula River and the city. Kościuszko Mound inspired Count Paul Strzelecki, Polish patriot and Australian explorer, to name the highest mountain in Australia Mount Kosciuszko, because of its perceived resemblance to the Kosciuszko Mound in Krakow.

 I want you to visit our museums, galleries, cafes favorite Polish artists, so you will be able to feel the atmosphere of this amazing city, where the sacred and the profane sit together at the café table, and ordinary cabby deserves to be called an artist …The art lovers cannot pass by  Collegium Maius – the oldest part of Jagiellonian Univeristy; museums etc. Krakow also has become a place for filming movies, among others Steven Spielberg’s ” The Schindler’s List” and the films of Andrzej Wajda.

Why Krakow?

Because it is a place where everyone can feel at home, a city whose streets intersect the representatives of different nationalities, different religions, people for and against, adventurers and pilgrims …

Since the concept of time in Krakow does not exist, life goes on around the clock, and the night is only a pretext to turn a page in the calendar.

Krakow, the pearl of Poland is a city of people with passion, student festivals, art cafes, theater performances and bohemian neighborhoods..

Surely you should add Krakow to your places which you see before you die … It must be the part of your” Bucket List”..
