Chungnyeolsa is as a revered shrine where the courageous spirits of those who valiantly fought against the Japanese forces during the invasions of Korea in 1592 find their sanctuary. Initially constructed in 1605 within the South Gate of Dongnae eupseong as Songgongsa by Yun Hwon, Deputy Delegate of Dongnae, the shrine honored Song Sang-hyeon and conducted annual rites. Later, in 1624, under the guidance of Lee Min-goo, it was renamed Chungnyeolsa and also enshrined the spirit of Jeong Bal, a heroic patriot who fell at Busanjin Fortress. By 1625, Chungnyeolsa relocated to its present site, renamed Allak Seowon. It expanded to include an auditorium, Dongseojae, functioning as a repository of ancestral loyalty and scholarly conduct, serving as both a spiritual hub and a library. Further developments occurred over time. In 1709, a separate building memorialized several brave souls alongside Song Sang-hyeon and Jeong Bal. In 1736, these individuals were collectively enshrined at Chungnyeolsa. Then, in 1772, Yun Heung-sin, the Dadaecheomsa, found a place here, and a sanctuary outside the East Gate was erected in memory of Geumseom and Aehyang, who passed away after the earlier heroes. Chungnyeolsa underwent subsequent renovations and now comprises 16 structures, covering an expansive area of 93,448 m2. It houses around 92 memorial tablets honoring those who courageously fought against the Japanese troops in Busan. Annually, on May 25, a sacrificial rite is performed, embodying the gratitude and sentiments of the citizens of Busan Metropolitan City.

Situated at the northwestern edge of the citadel in Brașov, the Blacksmiths' Bastion was already in existence by 1521. The first recorded mention dates back to 1529. Featuring a pentagonal shape, this bastion is structured across three levels, incorporating fuel oil holes and firing openings for accommodating small-caliber cannons, also known as bombards. Originally, it is believed that a tower stood at the site of the Blacksmiths' Bastion, noted since 1521. Unfortunately, this tower was destroyed in a flood in 1526 but was later reconstructed in 1527, when the ruins of the blacksmiths' tower were documented for the first time. The bastion underwent expansion on two occasions, following the floods of 1526 and 1668. A destructive flood on July 30, 1667, caused by heavy rain, devastated the fortifications in this area. Subsequently, in 1668, the Blacksmiths' Bastion assumed its final design. The extensive fire on April 21, 1689, left the fortification in ruins, and it was reconstructed only after two decades. Internally, the bastion featured wooden galleries supported by brackets. Post-1734, it transitioned to non-military use, serving purposes such as grain storage and habitation. In 1820, a smaller gate was erected in place of the original blacksmiths' tower, bearing the coat of arms of Brașov on the frontispiece, yet it was later demolished in 1874 due to traffic constraints. Significant renovations and additions were made in 1709, including the integration of brick arches. In 1923, the National Archives were permanently relocated to the Blacksmiths' Bastion from the Council House in Brașov. Following a period of serving as a mountain of piety, the building underwent a renovation in 1938, resulting in the structure we recognize today.

The monastery of Holy Apostles Peter and Paul constitute a compact constructive ensemble, composed by the catholicon of the Holy Apostles, the chapel of the physician saints Cosmas and Damian which functioned as a coemeterium, and the living quarters for the monks. The construction of the monastery was rendered in different phases, beginning from 1709 when the church of Sts. Peter and Paul was built by Hadji Athanasios Rimara. The adjacent chapel of Sts. Cosmas and Damian was built in 1736 under hegoumenos (abbot) Methodios, manciple Ioannes from the village Aidenohores near Serres and the monk Anthimios. The architectural design of the two buildings differs from that of the other churches of Vithkuqi and this difference stems from their function. Both church and the chapel were decorated with the donations of Siropoulos from Aidenohori and Panayot Desin from Vithkuqi, while for the painting was engaged one of the most eminent workshops of the period, of Constantine and Athanasios from Korçë (and their assistants). On the whole, the art of Constantine and Athanasios is influenced by the paleologan painting tradition, revived in Mt. Athos, and adopts elements of western art. The wooden iconostasis of the chapel of Sts. Cosmas and Damian is another piece of artwork of outstanding values. Some of the icons are works of hierodeacon Constantine of Spatheia.
