World Heritage: Meteora monasteries
Athens - XINHUA
Photo shows the Meteora monasteries, about 350 kilometers northwest from Athens, capital of Greece. Meteora means "Suspended in the air" in Greek. In a region of almost inaccessible sandstone peaks, monks settle on these "columns of sky" from the 11th century onwards. Twenty-four of these monasteries were built, despite incredible difficulties, at the time of the great revival of the eremitic ideal in the 15th century. Their 16th century frescoes mark a key stage in the development of post-Byzantine painting. Now there're six monasteries open to public, including two nunneries. The Meteora monasteries were inscribed onto UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1988.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.
