The first thing that catches our eye upon visiting the Andalusian Center for Contemporary Art, located in the former La Cartuja Monastery in Seville, is a giant sculpture that appears trapped inside a house. It is 'Alice,' the famous character from Lewis Carroll, here recalling the passage in which the protagonist grows until seh surpasses the size of the house that accomodates her.

'Alicia' is a work by the Andalusian artist Cristina Lucas, created in 2009 for Córdoba's nomination to become European Capital of Culture in 2016. The sculpture was initially installed in a well-known courtyard in Córdoba.

Later, in 2013, it was moved to its current location in Seville. The piece depicts an enormous female figure who seems trapped inside a house, with her face and right arm peeking out of the windows.

A hub for the music industry since before World War II, the Brill Building today is permanently associated with a particular style of pop music that flourished in the years prior to the British Invasion. It sought to tame rebellious rock-and-roll by bringing it under the purview of professional songwriters and producers.

It was dominated by lush orchestras and relatively complex songwriting with simple lyrics. Although in reality most Brill Building songs were written elsewhere, this location was considered the most prestigious in the music industry.

165 music businesses were located here in 1962, and most stages of the recording and release process were represented here. The genre declined as its songs became increasingly formulaic and the British Invasion changed pop and rock's focus.

Rising from a hilltop surrounded by ancient chestnut and walnut trees, Dvorac Dioš was commissioned in 1904 by Alajos Tüköry and his wife Paula for their daughter, Marija. Paula famously demanded that the structure should not look like a mere hunting lodge or summer villa, but a "lordly house"-resulting in a striking facade with complex rooflines, pointed towers, and ornate brickwork.

After serving as a noble residence, it was purchased by the Salesian order in 1941 and renamed "Marijin Dvor" (Mary's Court). Despite a turbulent history of nationalization during the communist era, the castle has returned to the Salesians and remains a hidden architectural gem in the Slavonia region, currently being preserved as a center for youth.

I love appetizers. Emma and I have been known to order what we call “appetizer feasts” when we go out for dinner, so we try more apps and skip the main course.
