The Italian island named the world’s most colourful destination - Time Out Worldwide

18 August 2026Clare DowdyPompidou Centre, Malaga/ Getty ImagesImaginative architects have long used colour to elevate their work. From a dazzling ancient temple to a vibrant library, here are eight buildings where colour is integral. We have been using colour to bring joy for hundreds of thousands of years. Early Neanderthals decorated cave walls with pigments from the earth. These early efforts were followed by the polychromatic temples of ancient Egypt and Greece, and the structures of multi-coloured marble of ancient Rome. Throughout these eras, and wherever you looked, colour was on the agenda. It has played a starring role in the stained glass of medieval churches, and on the frescoed ceilings and walls of the Italian Renaissance. And it has been integral to the bright and shiny surfaces of the late 20th and 21st Centuries, including the cube entrance to the Pompidou Centre, Malaga by Daniel Buren (pictured above), a symphony of colour and light.

Ukrainian forces continue to report widespread disruptions to the Starlink satellite network, despite Donald Trump’s claim that Elon Musk had lifted restrictions on the service. The slowdown, which has affected the key communications system used by Ukrainian troops, began last week after Trump and Starlink founder Musk publicly criticised Ukraine’s president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, over continued strikes on Russian oil refineries. The restrictions have raised questions and confusion about who ordered the slowdown and why, with both Trump and Musk denying responsibility. “I don’t comment one way or the other,” Trump said on Thursday when asked about reports that he had personally called Musk to demand the restrictions be lifted. “The bottom line: he put it back.”But Ukrainian officials said on Friday morning that speeds remained capped at about 100mph, with no indication that the restrictions had been lifted. “At present, we have not observed any lifting of the restrictions on Starlink,” said Serhii Beskrestnov, a military expert who advises Zelenskyy.
