Church of the Holy Cross (Polish: Kościół św. Krzyża, also Kościół świętokrzyski) is a Roman Catholic place of worship in downtown Warsaw. The main building was constructed between 1679 and 1696. Its main designer was Józef Szymon Bellotti, the royal architect at the Royal Court of Poland. It was financed by abbot Kazimierz Szczuka and the Primate of Poland Michał Stefan Radziejowski. The fasade was relatively modest and reminded of Renaissance fasades of the nearby churches. The two towers surrounding the facade were initially square-cut. Between 1725 and 1737 two late Baroque headpieces by Józef Fontana. The fasade itself was refurbished by Fontana's son, Jakub (in 1756) and ornamented with sculptures by Jan Jerzy Plersch. From 1765 the church was one of the most attended by Polish King Stanisław August Poniatowski. It was also there that the King established the Order of St. Stanisław and bestowed it upon loyal servants annually on May 8. On May 3, 1792, the Polish Diet gathered there on the first anniversary of the May 3rd Constitution. During the Warsaw Uprising of 1794, the stairs leading to the main entrance were destroyed and had to be replaced with new ones designed by Chrystian Piotr Aigner. During the Warsaw Uprising of 1944 the church had been severely damaged. Afterwards it was blown up by the Germans. However, between 1945 and 1953 it had been rebuilt in a simplified architectural form by B. Zborowski. The interior was also reconstructed, however without the baroque polychromies and frescoes. The main altar had been reconstructed between 1960 and 1972.

The Reykjavik Cathedral (Dómkirkjan) on a rainy evening. While this may not look like a typical cathedral, it is the seat of the bishop of Reykjavik and sits just next to the Icelandic parliament building, making it the center of many major national events.
See the Cathedral's web site at domkirkjan.is/english/ for more information.

Burton Buildings in Wrexham was built in 1896. It has rather fallen on hard times but still maintains the original shop fronts and some lovely terracotta work which was probably supplied by J C Edwards of Ruabon. Considering the proximity of an extensive terracottta industry in the vicinity it is surprising how little of the local product is to be seen in Wrexham. The bins are a bonus item.
