Jerónimos Monastery, or Hieronymites Monastery, was commissioned by King Dom Manuel I, the Portuguese monarch at the time of Vasco da Gama’s pioneering sea voyage to India in 1498. Construction began in 1501 and took nearly a century. The Discoveries financed the Monastery construction via revenue from the “pepper tax” and a 5 percent levy on trade with Africa and the Orient. Several architects oversaw the building project throughout the sixteenth century, namely Diogo de Botaica, the architect responsible for Belém Tower and one of the key figures of what would become known as the Manueline architectural style, and João de Castilho, who took over the work around 1517.

Kintsvisi Monastery (Georgian: ყინწვისი, Qinc'visi) is a Georgian Orthodox monastery in the Shida Kartli region, eastern Georgia, 10 kilometers from the town Kareli, on a forested slope of a high mountain of the Dzama valley.
The Kintsvisi Monastery complex consists of three churches, of uncertain origin. The central (main) central church dedicated to St Nicholas is thought to date to the early 13th century, in what is generally regarded as a "golden age" of the Georgian monarchy. A very small chapel standing next to it is dedicated to St George, and dates from around the same time.
The oldest church, dedicated to St Mary dates from the 10-11th centuries, but is mostly in ruins.
The site is currently listed by the World Monuments Fund as a field project.

"The beautifully restored Rommersdorf Abbey in the district of Heimbach-Weis should not be missed when visiting Neuwied. The former Premonstratensian monastery combines architectural elements of the Romanesque and Gothic periods and is regarded as a jewel among the medieval buildings in the region.
Also well worth seeing is the garden, laid out in part according to baroque originals. Around the abbey visitors will find contrasting gardens and woodlands that have been left in their natural state.
The abbey is the setting for popular cultural events. In spring the town plays host to the cloister concerts and in summer presents the festival of open-air theatre as well as the children's theatre festival."
