Gheorghe Lazăr National College, also known as Colegiul Național 'Gheorghe Lazăr' in Romanian, is a public secondary school situated on Gheorghe Lazăr Street 1-3 in Sibiu, within the Transylvania region of Romania. The Gheorghe Lazăr National College has a rich history dating back to its establishment by the Jesuits in 1692. Originally a Catholic gymnasium, it taught in Latin and began in a small building near the Great Square in Sibiu. Over the years, it moved to various locations, including a house at the corner of Mitropoliei and Samuel von Brukenthal streets. The Jesuit suppression in 1773 led to its temporary closure, but it reopened in 1780 as the Gymnasium regium Cibiniensis under Emperor Joseph II's approval. Latin remained a key focus, benefiting local Romanian students. The school adapted after the 1848-1849 Revolution, extending its study period and adopting German as the primary language in 1850, introducing Romanian as well. It evolved into the k. k. kath. Staatsgymnasium in Hermannstadt in 1853, maintaining its Catholic character until 1862. During this time, notable students like Ioan Brote, Ilie Măcelariu, and Nicolae Cristea attended. Subsequent periods saw Hungarian as the language of instruction, reflecting the Austro-Hungarian Compromise, with many Romanian students. The school moved to its current building in 1898. After Transylvania united with Romania in 1919, the language shifted to Romanian, and it became Gheorghe Lazăr High School. The institution underwent grade structure changes in 1948 and 1965. In 1992, it gained college status, becoming a national college in 1999. Attendees over the years included Emil Cioran, Gheorghe Șoima, Nicolae Manolescu, and more. The school houses both a gymnasium (grades 5-8) and a high school (grades 9-12), with a sizable library featuring historic works. The school library, established in the 18th century, boasts a substantial collection of Latin and Greek texts, some dating back to the 16th century. It contains manuscripts, historic documents, religious texts, and a wide range of books from literature to theology. The school continues to thrive with around 1000 students and a dedicated faculty.

The Shrine of Our Lady of Trsat is the largest pilgrimage centre of Western Croatia. Its foundation is reported to be, according to tradition, related to the miraculous transport of the Nazareth Barn, and its stay on Trsat (1291-1294). Shortly after the relocation of the Mother of God's house to Loreto, Prince Nikola I of Krk built the first small church on the place where the barn stood on Trsat. Marija's Trsat became a pilgrimage point of convergence, the reputation of which was strengthened by the astounding painting of the Lady of Trsat, which was a gift given to the inconsolable Croats in 1367 by Pope Urban V for the loss of the Holy Barn. In the XV century, the Sanctuary was taken over by Franciscans, who have remained its guardians to the present day. On 8 June 2003, Pope John Paul II attended a long pilgrimage procession. The oldest parts of the main nave and the sanctuary of today's church originate from the late gothic era marked by the donation of Martin Frankopan (Frankopan family), who in 1453 started building the new church and monastery for the Franciscans from the Bosnian vicary. Nowadays, the visage of the church and the monastery exist mostly thanks to baroque renovations conducted after a great fire in 1629. A luxurious main altar built in 1692 dominates the sanctuary.

This stupa is said to have been made in 1692 to enshrine a relic of the Buddha discovered at Hongnyeongam Hermitage in 1683. According to the record inscribed on the stele at the entrance to the hermitage, the Avalokitesvara statue enshrined in the hermitage was undergoing a regilding procedure when the presence of an auspicious energy was suddenly felt and a relic of the Buddha fell from the wooden canopy above the statue. This stupa was later made to enshrine the relic. After the stupa was damaged by the forest fire of 2005, it underwent a restoration, during which it was confirmed that it indeed enshrined a reliquary containing 37 artifacts, including a bronze lidded bowl, cloth wrap, silver lidded bowl, gold lidded bowl. The stupa consists of an octagonal base, a round body stone, and an octagonal roof stone. It is decorated with elaborate carvings, such as a taegeuk pattern, Sanskrit letters, lotus flower designs, circular designs, and other geometrical patterns. In 2011, this stupa was designated as Treasure No. 1723 together with the enshrined reliquaries and the stele, due to their great value in the understanding of the Buddhist culture of the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910).
