The Purcari winery, established in 1827, gained recognition as the first specialized winery in Bessarabia by an imperial decree. Its Negru de Purcari wine won international acclaim, often compared to Bordeaux and Burgundy wines, enjoyed by royalty and acclaimed worldwide. Despite challenges during war times, Purcari revived its legacy in the 1950s, restoring classic production techniques. In modern times, Purcari expanded its vineyards, embraced advanced technology, and entered over 25 global markets. Introducing new vintages like Alb de Purcari and Icewine, it earned international awards, consolidating its position as Moldova's prestigious export. With continuous advancements, Purcari stands at its most advanced stage, ready to compete globally once more.

The Church of Sant'Antonio Taumaturgo, also referred to as the Church of Sant'Antonio Nuovo, holds prominence as the primary religious structure in Borgo Teresiano, Trieste's center, and stands as the city's largest Catholic church. Positioned at Sant’Antonio Nuovo square, it resides at the terminus of the Grand Canal. The inception of the construction project dates back to 1808, yet actual work commenced in 1825. Featuring a facade adorned with Ionic columns, the church boasts six sculptures crafted by Francesco Bosa in 1842, depicting saints such as Saint Justus, Saints Sergius and Bacchus, Saint Servulus, Saint Maurus, Saint Euphemia, and Saint Tecla.A private chapel dedicated to the Annunciation existed at the current church site until the mid-18th century. Opened to the public by Antonio Rossetti, the chapel's popularity led to the decision to construct a larger baroque-style church dedicated to Saint Anthony, completed in 1771 but quickly deemed insufficient. In 1808, architects proposed a new neoclassical design, with Pietro Nobile's winning proposal leading to construction beginning in 1827 and consecration in 1849. Renamed ‘Sant’Antonio Nuovo,' the church stood at the Grand Canal's end until 1934 when part of the waterway was filled. Local artists' paintings adorn the church, including works by Michelangelo Grigoletti, Odorico Politi, Felice Schiavoni, Sebastiano Santi, Alessandro Longhi, Ludovico Lipparini, and Joseph Ernst Tunner. The church houses two organs built by the Mascioni company in 1958, with James Joyce noted as an attendee at Easter mass there.

The entry into 'Brasov’s Stronghold' from the Romanian district of Schei was historically through the Upper Gate during the Middle Ages. Initially named Corpus Christi, it corresponded to the square's level where it stood. The sole remaining structure from the old fortified ensemble is Ecaterina's Tower, showcasing Renaissance architecture in Brasov. Erected in 1559 by initiative of Mayor Judge Johannes Benkner, it stands as a significant representative of this style. The other fortifications of the complex, once safeguarded by water moats, were dismantled in 1827. This was a preparatory step for the construction of The Schei Gate, vital for smoother traffic flow between Brasov’s Stronghold and the 'Upper Suburb.' Built in 1828 in a Neoclassical design, it featured a central operable entry, bordered by pedestrian walkways with semicircular openings. Mason artisan Joseph Jani executed the construction, funded by Romanian merchants. Later, modifications included classicist-style gate construction for Horses Fair Street, between 1819-1820, and adjustments to the interconnected walls of the south-eastern side, flanked by the Blacksmiths Bastion and the Weavers Bastion.'.

Catherine's Gate (Romanian: Poarta Ecaterinei, German: Katharinentor, Hungarian: Katalin-kapu) located in Brașov, Romania, was constructed by the Tailors’ Guild in 1559 with defensive intentions, replacing a previous gate swept away by a flood in 1526. The gate derives its name from St. Catherine's Monastery, which once occupied this spot. This structure stands as the sole surviving original city gate from the medieval era. However, the central tower is merely a fragment of the initial gate; historical records indicate the existence of a wooden component that was dismantled in 1827. The original design is showcased at the Weaver's Bastion, where a substantial model of Brașov from 1600 is exhibited. Referred to as Porta Valacce in ancient documents, the gate was designated as the Vallah's Gate, serving as the sole entry point for the Romanians residing in Șcheii Brașovului. They were confined to this single access point and barred from using the other four entrances. Under Saxon governance between the 13th and 17th centuries, Romanians were prohibited from owning property within the fortress walls, compelling them to settle outside the walls in the neighborhood known as Șcheii Brașovului. These individuals were only permitted to enter the town during specific periods, necessitating payment of a toll at the gate to vend their goods within the citadel. The quartet of small corner turrets (also present in other Transylvanian towns) symbolizes the town's legal independence and the 'right of sword' (ius gladii), which granted authority over matters of capital punishment. Above the entrance, the tower proudly displays the city's coat of arms: a crown atop an oak tree trunk with its roots. Presently, Catherine's Gate serves as a museum.

The Șchei Gate (Romanian: Poarta Șchei) situated in the Șcheii Brașovului neighborhood of Brașov, Romania, stands adjacent to Catherine's Gate. Constructed between 1827 and 1828, it was designed to facilitate increased traffic flow. In the same period (1827), the significantly larger Catherine's Gate was dismantled, except for the outer tower, repurposed as storage and now functioning as a museum. This stone and brick gate, fashioned in the classical style resembling a triumphal arch, features three openings. The central arch, designed for vehicular passage, is larger, flanked by two smaller and lower arches on either side to accommodate pedestrians. Latin inscriptions above the smaller arches not only reveal the construction date but also indicate that the gate was erected subsequent to the visit of Emperor Francis I of Austria to Brașov in 1817.

The stone bridge that crosses Virginia Water was built between 1822 and 1827 on the site of two earlier bridges. The first wooden 'Great Bridge' was built as part of the Duke of Cumberland's works in the eighteenth century and rose in a single span. The second, the Great Stone Bridge, completed in 1789, was so dilapidated by 1826 that the architect Sir Jeffry Wyatville judged that it would be folly to repair it. His own massively constructed Five-Arch Bridge has lasted relatively unchanged for 180 years.
