The Church of Saint Sebastian, located in Rijeka, has a historical origin dating back to 1291 when it was built as a vow during the plague. It is situated in one of the narrow streets of the old town. The church underwent renovations over the centuries and was last fully renovated in 1885, taking on its present appearance inspired by the facade of the Congregational Church. It was dedicated to Saint Sebastian in 1562. The church has faced attempts of demolition, but its significance in traditional ceremonies and processions protected it.

The Gazi Hajdar Kadi Mosque, (Macedonian: Ајдар Кади Џамија; Albanian: Xhamia e Gazi Hajdar Kadiut, Turkish: Gazi Haydar Kadi Cami) is a mosque, situated in Bitola, North Macedonia. In the past the religious building has been transformed into a warehouse by the local Macedonian authorities. A thorough reconstruction was undergoing for several years with the assistance and cooperation of the Turkish Republic, and finally it was fully put into service and opened to public in November 2016. The mosque was commissioned by Haydar Bey, then beylerbey of Rumelia Eyalet, the largest Ottoman administrative territory, with Manastir as a regional centre. According to the inscription in Arabic on the stone plaque above the door, the mosque was built in 969 he (1561/62 AD). The mosque is a domed building with massive walls of about 1.4 meters thick. The builders came from a small village in the region of Manastir but the project was most probably prepared by an unknown Islamic architect, influenced by the work of famous architects of that time, such as Kodja Sinan. In the description of Evliya Çelebi's travels through the Balkans in the 17th century, this mosque was considered as one of the most beautifully decorated. Study of the remains show that the Haydar-Kadi Mosque was the only mosque in Bitola with two minarets. Marble decorations adorn the mihrab and the triangle-shaped tromps. A stone bas-relief can be seen on the portal, capitals and on the mimbar. Colourful geometrical designs can be found around the windows, on the arches, as well as on the tromps. The wood-carved door is executed in bas-relief. The most distinctive motif is the stylized Arabic letter 'elif'. This type of woodcarved doors can be seen in Istanbul mosques. The mosque was repaired in 1890. We also know that all the mosques of the town were restored before the visit of the Mehmed V in 1910, a fact confirmed by certain elements of the interior decoration painted at that time. After the end of five centuries of Turkish rule in 1912, the mosque was abandoned. The lead from its dome was stolen and the dome was only restored in 1967. It was subsequently used as a packaging warehouse for a local distillery, then as a concert hall. In 2014, the mosque was completely renovated with funds from the Directorate General of Foundations (Turkey), which oversees the management of Islamic inalienable endowments (vakıf) dating back to the Ottoman era. The cost of renovations was more than 4.5 million lira. It reopened to worship on 4 November 2016 after a hiatus of 104 years.

The People's square has been the central city square, together with important buildings of the municipal government, since the Middle Ages when it was known as Platea Magna (The Great Square). At present the northern part of the square is dominated by the artificial monumental building of the City Hall. It was built as a symbol of the Italian occupation during the thirties of the last century and its construction resulted in the destruction of the original buildings from the 15th and 16th centuries. The Municipal Loggia was built in 1565 in the Renaissance style on the location of an earlier medieval loggia. Public services have been executed here for centuries. During the fifties it housed the city library and today it serves as an exhibition pavilion. The Municipal Guard (Gran Guardia) was erected some time before 1562 in the Late Renaissance style and is enclosed in the front by a stone fence with round openings for cannons. The design of both buildings is credited to the Venetian architect Gian Girolamo Sanmicheli. In 1798 the clock tower was built above the central part. The deconsecrated and partly destroyed Church of Saint Lawrence, from the first half of the 11th century, can be found slightly hidden behind the cafe in the western part of the square. The church is a valuable example of the transitional period from the pre-Romanesque and Byzantine towards the Romanesque style. The interior architectural features such as the cupola, the Romanesque nave and two aisles and its practically Romanesque sculpture decorations are all indications of this new style. The Ghirardini Palace is located to the northeast of the square. The sculptural ornament of the grand window in the Gothic-Renaissance style on the first floor is credited to the renowned artist of that time Nikola Firentinac (Niccolò di Giovanni).
