This church, a striking example of Gothic architecture with its adorned vaults, angel star, and black marble altar, underwent a late 19th-century restoration to reclaim its original Gothic charm, renewing its facades, stained-glass windows, and entrance portal. Inside, pillars divide the hall, supporting a ribbed vault featuring an eight-point star. The central nave's vault boasts an angel star, while the presbytery flaunts a star-shaped vault adorned with figurines. In the 18th century, Ludovic Bombassi replaced the main Gothic altar with a remarkable black marble piece, complemented by statues of St. Leopold and St. Nicholas by Angelo Pozzo. Additional altars by sculptor Janez Jarm and Janez Vurnik Jr.'s Mary's altar from 1898 add to the church's splendor. Near the church and rectory stand remnants of a 14th-century wall. A World War II bunker houses a shrine to Edith Stein, and the rectory courtyards preserve traces of an erstwhile tavern, offering historical insights upon request or during guided tours. This church likely had its origins in a 10th-century chapel and evolved alongside the town's growth, becoming significant enough to relocate the archdiocese by the 13th century. Its transition from a Romanesque basilica to a Gothic church began around 1500, potentially marked by a 1495 inscription, denoting a major renovation.

The bridge of Buna is an Ottoman work from 1499-1500. It was built with wooden legs, then was rebuilt in 1911 in the sequence of a military character before the beginning of the Balkan War.

The Rodoni Castle or Skanderbeg Castle (Albanian: Kalaja e Rodonit; Kalaja e Skënderbeut) is a castle in Albania. After the victorious First Siege of Krujë the League of Lezhë decided to increase the fortifications for use against the Ottoman Empire. Skanderbeg chose the cape of Rodon as the location of the castle and construction began in 1450. The walls of the castle that was completed in approximately 1452 had a length of 400 metres (1,300 ft). When the Second Siege of Krujë started in 1466 Skanderbeg retreated to Rodoni Castle from where he and his family, together with many people from Albania, were transported to Brindisi in 14 ships. According to Marin Barleti this castle was destroyed by Ottoman forces in 1467. In 1500 the castle was rebuilt by the Republic of Venice. As a result of the corrosive action of the sea waves, some of the walls are now under the waters of the Adriatic. Today the visitors can see the outer walls on the right side and the tower at the place they intersect.

The Skanderbeg Castle was built from Skanderbeg for the main reason to have easy access to the sea. It had an existence until 1467 and afterwards it was destroyed by the Turks. In the year 1500 was reconstructed by the Venetians but it has not been maintained in a good condition.

The first exhaustive reports about this mill date back to the early 1500s, but the structure might be older. it was once known as the 'Del Pontes' Mill', after the name of the family that ran it for over three centuries. Owned by the Counts of Polcenigo, the mill was permanently handed down to the Del Ponte family till around 1850, when it was sold out. In 1877 the mill was endowed with a wheel that boasted three, slightly curved paddles, to better exploit the power of the waters and produce up to eighteen HP. At the end of the 19th century the mill passed down to the Cosmo family who closed it down in the late 1930s.

Roman Catholic church in Vilnius' Old Town established circa 1495–1500. It is a prominent example of both Flamboyant Gothic and Brick Gothic styles and is one of the most interesting examples of Gothic architecture in Lithuania. The present brick church was constructed on the initiative of the King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania Alexander I Jagiellon in 1495–1500; the exterior of the church has remained almost unchanged since then. A novel approach to bricks as a construction material was employed in the church's construction. The main façade, designed in the Flamboyant Gothic style, is its most striking feature. Traditional Gothic elements and shapes were used in unique ways; Gothic arches are framed by rectangular elements dominating a symmetrical and proportionate façade, creating an impression of dynamism. According to Lithuanian architect and art historian Vladas Drėma, patterns from the Pillars of Gediminas are echoed in the church's façade. The church has one nave and two towers. It was built using 33 different kinds of clay bricks and painted in red.
