Spengler's Corner Historic District is a significant grouping of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century commercial buildings with architectural and historical importance. Site of the first Mississippi state house (1822), the district has served since 1840 as a vital center of civic, entertainment, and mercantile activity for the city of Jackson. Its historical development may be traced to the town plan of the city inspired by Thomas Jefferson and drawn by Peter A. VanDorn in 1822.

Este año 2012, Vitoria-Gasteiz, ha sido declarada “Capital Verde Europea”, que es algo así como la capital Europea con más meritos para ostentar este titulo durante todo este año 2012. Realmente, en esta ciudad disfrutamos de muchísimos espacios naturales donde poder realizar actividades de todo tipo, en apenas cinco minutos a pie de la puerta de nuestra casa. Tenemos algunas cosillas que… podrían mejorar, pero… nadie es perfecto. Es lo que hay.
In der Kirche befindet sich an der Stelle, von welcher Abraham a Sancta Clara (der im Kloster lebte) seine berühmten populären Predigten zu halten pflegte, eine moderne Kanzel. 1796 musste der Konvent das dritte Stockwerk des Klosters Herzog Albert von Sachsen-Teschen und seiner Gattin Marie Christine überlassen (denen das angebaute ehemalige Tarouccasche Haus zur Wohnung übergeben worden war) und 1802 auch den gegen die Bastei zu gelegenen Teil des Klosters für den Bau ihres Palais abtreten. 1820 gestattete Franz I. dem Handels- und Ziergärtner Johann Konrad Rosenthal die Errichtung gemauerter Räumlichkeiten zwischen den Strebepfeilern des äußeren Kirchenbaues zwecks Verkaufs von Blumen. Bei dieser Gelegenheit wurde die Laternenanzünderhütte beseitigt, die sich an der Kirche befunden hatte. 1810 wurde in der Augustinerkirche Marie Louise mit Napoleon vermählt. Im Klostergebäude beschloss der als Dichter und Kanzelredner bekannte Zacharias Werner (* 18. November 1768 Königsberg) am 7. Jänner 1823 seine Tage (Friedhof Maria Enzersdorf, Niederösterreich). 1838 ging die Kirche, da die Augustinermönche keinen Nachwuchs mehr fanden, an Säkularkleriker über. Am 31. Oktober 1848 wurde die Kirche (insbesondere der Turmhelm) durch Brand stark beschädigt; der Neubau (mit durchbrochenem Metallhelm) erfolgte nach einer Zeichnung von Paul Sprenger. Im Mai 1852 wurden fünf neue Glocken geweiht und aufgezogen. 1854 heiratete Franz Joseph I. in der Augustinerkirche Elisabeth von Bayern. 1873 wurden im Zuge der Restaurierungsarbeiten unter der Kirche ausgedehnte Gruftanlagen mit gotischen und barocken Grabsteinen und Metallsarkophagen aufgefunden. 1881 heiratete Kronprinz Rudolf in der Augustinerkirche Stephanie von Belgien. Die Augustinerkirche wurde 1945 durch Bomben beschädigt, jedoch 1950 wiederhergestellt. Seit 1951 ist sie wieder in der Hand der Augustiner-Eremiten.

The Kelvingrove Art Gallery is a museum and art gallery in Glasgow, Scotland. The building houses one of Europe's great civic art collections. Since its refurbishment the museum is the most popular free to enter visitor attraction in Scotland, and the most visited museum in the United Kingdom outside London.
The construction of Kelvingrove was partly financed by the proceeds of the 1888 International Exhibition held in Kelvingrove Park. The gallery was designed by Sir John W. Simpson and E.J. Milner Allen and opened in 1901. It is built in a Spanish Baroque style, follows the Glaswegian tradition of using local red sandstone, and includes an entire program of architectural sculpture by George Frampton, Francis Derwent Wood and other sculptors. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelvingrove_Art_Gallery_and_Museum

St Mark's Church. The spectrum of colours displayed on the roof beautifully depicts the Croatian, Dalmatian and Slavonian coats-of-arms and also the Zagreb city emblem and provides for quite a lasting visual. Due to various natural disasters it has received a ton of reconstruction and not a whole lot remains of the original 14th century building.
St Giles' Cathedral, more properly termed the High Kirk of Edinburgh, is the principal place of worship of the Church of Scotland in Edinburgh. Its distinctive crown steeple is a prominent feature of the city skyline, at about a third of the way down the Royal Mile which runs from the Castle to Holyrood Palace. The church has been one of Edinburgh's religious focal points for approximately 900 years. The present church dates from the late 14th century, though it was extensively restored in the 19th century, and is protected as a category A listed building. Today it is sometimes regarded as the "Mother Church of Presbyterianism". The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Giles, who is the patron saint of Edinburgh, as well as of cripples and lepers, and was a very popular saint in the Middle Ages. It is the Church of Scotland parish church for part of Edinburgh's Old Town.
