GUIMARÃES (Portugal): Zona de Couros.
Em Guimarães, a Indústria dos Curtumes, que remonta à Idade Média, desenvolveu-se com sucesso até meados do séc. XX, fazendo da cidade uma referência nacional no setor. No séc. XIX, a atualmente designada Zona de Couros foi um núcleo privilegiado da indústria de transformação de peles, onde se manteve uma produção baseada nas técnicas tradicionais e no trabalho manual. Ainda que pouco significativas, as primeiras tentativas de inovação e modernização dos processos de produção surgiram apenas nos inícios do séc. XX, fazendo com que esta indústria se mantivesse ativa até meados do século. Em julho de 1977, a Zona de Couros é classificada como Imóvel de Interesse Público, no que constituiu a primeira iniciativa legislativa do género realizada em Portugal em torno da arqueologia industrial. Esta classificação vem reconhecer a importância da atividade e contribuir para a preservação dos vestígios desta indústria local. Na Zona de Couros, existem diversos edifícios que foram construídos para a instalação de fábricas destinadas à transformação das peles em couros, com os seus típicos secadouros e tanques de tinturaria.

The Suspension Bridge was built by the French company Claranges Lucotte and Co., and opened to the public in 1843 to fill a need for a permanent bridge between Porto and Vila Nova de Gaia, replacing the Bridge of Boats. It was said that the bridge, which was officially known as the D. Maria II Bridge, trembled like a reed, and it was this lack of safety that dictated its short 44 years of existence. It had been quickly built because of large floods in Porto that rendered the old Bridge of Boats inoperable. It was deactivated in 1887 and replaced by the D. Luis I Bridge. The two stone obelisk shaped pillars are all that remains of the historic crossing.

Ярославский Губернаторский Дом сооружен по указу Александра Первого в качестве путевого дворца для российских императоров, поэтому его строительство осуществлялось за казенный счет и было завершено в кратчайшие сроки – всего за год. Этот дворцовый особняк посетили все русские императоры, начиная с Александра Первого и заканчивая Николаем Вторым. С 1822 по 1917 год в Губернаторском доме жили, правили губернией и принимали гостей 17 губернаторов.
The Church of the Holy Archangel Michael over the village of Oreanda was built in 2006 at the foot of Mount Ai-Nikola. As archaeological excavations indicate, an ancient Christian monastery used to be located on this site. The temple was built by the famous Yalta architect Vyacheslav Bondarenko and is surrounded by mountains. When broadcasting the singing of the male church choir, voices repeatedly reflected from the rocks create an unusual acoustic effect. Such a monumental sound can only be achieved in special concert halls.
