The island of San Michele, located in the lagoon close to Venice, has been the city's cemetery since the early nineteenth century.
There's also a church with a peaceful cloister leading to the cemetery.
The ceiling frescoes in the Freising cathedral.
The cathedral of Freising was built in Romanesque style from 1159 to 1205. First change to the interior was the replacement of the flat Romanesque wooden ceiling by a Gothic vault ceiling during 1481 to 1483. In a further change during the Baroque period the Gothic vault ribs were removed, the final change was the Rococo decoration created around 1724 by the brothers Cosmas Damian Asam and Egid Quirin Asam.

Георгиевский (Большой тронный) зал создан в 1787—1795 годах по проекту Джакомо Кваренги. Огромное двухсветное помещение зала было выполнено в классическом стиле. Освящён 26 ноября 1795 года в день Святого Георгия Победоносца, откуда и получил своё название.
В 1917 году с тронного места были сняты символы Российской империи, а в 1930-х гг., оно было полностью разобрано. После Великой Отечественной войны в зал вместо тронного места была помещена выполненная из самоцветов карта Советского Союза, изготовленная для Всемирной парижской выставки 1937 года. После распада СССР карта была демонтирована. Утверждается, что её остатки хранятся в запасниках Горного музея.
В 1997—2000 годах тронное место было восстановлено.

Basilique Notre-Dame de Genève
The Basilica Notre-Dame of Geneva (Basilique Notre-Dame de Genève) is the main Roman Catholic church in Geneva, Switzerland. This neo-Gothic church, whose appearance is partly inspired by the Beauvais Cathedral, was built according to the design of Alexandre Grigny between 1852 and 1857 on the site of a former stronghold fortifications.

The stone work in this church is quite amazing.
In the church Santa Maria del Popolo in Rome - this one was built in 1472-1477, replacing a medieval church (said to have been built on the spot where the wicked emperor Nero had been buried - though this is now very much doubted and that founding history is more to be viewed as a myth). It was originally a pure Renaissance church, but got some remodelling done in the 17th century which gives the church a touch of Baroque too. The biggest claim to fame for the church is, probably, the two paintings by Caravaggio in a chapel to the left of the high altar.

At Frederiksborg Castle (Danish: Frederiksborg Slot), which is a royal castle built in a northern Renaissance style, for the Danish king Christian IV. The main building of the castle was built 1602-1620 (replacing an older structure). For a long time it served as a royal residence, but it was almost completely destroyed in a fire 1859 (which spared only the chapel and audience chamber). The castle was restored, using old plans and drawings to give it its proper look - with generous donations made by J.C. Jabosen (who made a fortune founding the Carlsberg brewery), to turn it into a National Museum, which it still is to this day.
So yes, this is a 19th century vision of how a Renaissance ceiling should look like.

The church is mostly known as Bath abbey - but the full name is the Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul. It is now an Anglican church, but it started out as an abbey church to a Benedictine monastery. A church was first built on this spot in the 7th century - but the current building dates from the 12th to the 16th century (with some major restorations made in the 1860s, including to the ceiling and finishing the vaulting that had been partly abandoned back in the day - probably for financial reasons) and one of the better examples of the Gothic perpendicular style.

There's peace, I'm sure
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven!"
