The bell tower was constructed simultaneously with the cathedral, positioned 40 meters away from it, and symmetrically aligned with the geometric center of the cathedral quarter. Consisting of four levels, three prismatic with progressively receding sides, and the fourth taking the form of a circular pavilion for the bell chamber, covered by a dome. The first level housed a chapel, accessible through a portico with two columns, situated on the southern side. This elegant feature was repeated on all facades of the belfry, creating a scaled-down replica of the cathedral's composition, beautifully complemented by the domes' shapes. The original bell tower was demolished in 1962 during the Soviet reign, under Nikita Khrushchev, but in 1998, it was meticulously reconstructed based on period images, ensuring its historical continuity.

The Border Guard Monument is situated in the Sea Garden, close to The Museum of Natural History. During World War I, this area served as a frontier-post. Initially constructed in 1917 with a marble eagle sculpture, it was later replaced in 1922 with a new one named 'Border Guard with a Dog.' In 1998, the monument underwent a complete renovation, restoring its historical significance and appearance.

The Benčić Palace in Rijeka was originally known as the Sugar Refinery Palace, built as part of Rijeka's sugar refinery compound. The sugar plant marked the city's industrialization, becoming a significant player in Croatia's industrial production during the mid-19th century. Established in 1750 by Arnoldt & Co., the refinery started in Mlaka and expanded to include the area of the current Benčić Palace. After its closure in 1826, the compound served various purposes, such as military barracks and a tobacco factory. Eventually, it became the largest tobacco processing plant in the Austro-Hungarian Empire. From 1945 to 1998, it housed the Factory of Engines and Tractors Rikard Benčić. Today, the well-preserved Sugar Refinery Palace stands as a testament to the city's economic history and is recognized as the largest Neo-baroque building on the east coast of the Adriatic.

Thermae in Nessebar were built in the VI century during the rule of Byzantine emperor Justine I the Great (527-565). About 2/3 of their area is studied - five wam premises, two of them with semi-circled pools, central hall, and a corridor. The other part of the building is now under the streets and houses nearby.The walls of the thermae are built in 'opus mixtum' (in alternation of stone and brick lines). The warm premises have a pending floor and hypocaust. The most imposing is the central hall, where four massive marble columns with Corinthian capitals supported the cruciform dome. The floor was covered by marble pavement.Thermae were water supplied by special water-conduit, entering from western side of the building. In the period V-VI century, a water supplying system was built for the entire town. Thermae had functioned until the end of VIII century. Construction works were made during this period - a brick wall was built in the corridor to narrow it. In the beginning of the IX century, thermae were reconstructed for housing and agricultural needs. Limekilns were built in the central hall.Byzantine chronicles Theopan and patriarch Nikiphorus marked that here in 680 Byzantine Emperor Constantine IV Pogo Nat cured his legs. The thermae were discovered during the excavations in 1973-1975 and 1998-2001. The building is partly restored and conserved.

The Archbishop's Palace (Romanian: Palatul Arhiepiscopiei Tomisului) is a building located at 23 Arhiepiscopiei Street, Constanța, Romania. It is the official residence of the Romanian Orthodox Archbishop of Tomis. The construction of the palace was initiated by Bishop Ilarie Teodorescu. In 1924, architect Ion D. Enescu created the plans, which outlined grand proportions, two recessed facades with two floors, an orientation parallel to the neighboring cathedral, and arched windows of various styles across three levels. The cornerstone was laid in May 1925, with notable attendees including Patriarch Miron Cristea and ministers Constantin Angelescu and Alexandru Lapedatu. The Religious Affairs and Arts Ministry funded the project with an initial cost of 2 million lei. Tragically, Bishop Ilarie passed away in the autumn of 1925, and his successor, Gherontie Nicolau, took charge of overseeing the completion. The construction process encountered numerous challenges, leading to the unfortunate suicide of one of the key participants in late 1926. By the mid-1927, the palace was mostly finished, but it was only fully completed and inaugurated in early 1934. In 1939, Bishop Gherontie established a wax candle factory in the basement. However, during World War II, the building suffered damage from Soviet bombings and underwent repairs in 1957-1958. From 1957 to 1977, during the communist regime, it served as the Constanța History and Archaeology Museum. Subsequently, it housed the Constanța County Library until 1998, when it was returned to the archdiocese after restoration. Tragically, in 2022, a fire engulfed and destroyed the top floor of the building. The palace is recognized as a historic monument by Romania's Ministry of Culture and Religious Affairs.

The Franciscan Church in Shkoder (1890) is a large Italian-style church crowned with religious statues. During the atheist years, the building was turned into a cultural centre. It reopened in 1998.

The library has been operating in the building of the Andrej Manfreda Home since June 2002, which was renovated by the Municipality of Kobarid after the earthquake in 1998. The interior of the library is uniquely designed and modeled after Scandinavian libraries. Architect Nataša Štrukelj built the interior with a contrast between the earthy wooden floor and the airy furniture made of glass and aluminum, as well as fiery red seating elements and water-shaped sculptures and a spiral wall. Due to its unique interior design and technological equipment, the library was listed in the database of the most beautiful European libraries in 2009. The beginnings of librarianship in the Kobarid area date back to the mid-19th century, when the Society of Young Men and Women for a Pious Life was established in Libušnje. Following the example of other Slovenian towns, the National Reading Room began operating in Kobarid in 1871, and at the turn of the century, the municipality opened the first public library of its kind in Slovenia. After World War I, the pre-war Reading Room tried to continue its mission, including the opening of a library in 1923, but the Italian fascist regime obstructed their activities, so they stopped operating in 1925. After liberation, the library operated with some interruptions under the Simon Gregorčič Cultural Society until 1964. From 1978, the traveling library continued its mission during its monthly stops in Kobarid and the surrounding areas. In the 1980s and especially in the 1990s, the Tolmin library sought to open a branch library in Kobarid. Kobarid residents received a new, exceptionally well-equipped departmental library in 2002.

The Piran Coastal Galleries was established in 1974 and began operating in 1976 under the management of Anton Biloslav, who remained in his position until 2012. The galleries established a network with prestigious art critics and European private galleries in cities such as Cologne, Paris, and Zurich, enabling them to work with international established artists in the Coastal Galleries and other Slovene locations. In the 80s, the galleries began to focus on Slovene artists, with an emphasis on painters of the littoral, and organized several shows of international relevance. The galleries also opened a gallery in Madrid in 1992 and revived it in Venice in 1998, which operated until 2013. The galleries manage several art collections, including the Slovene Figurative Contemporary Art after 1976 Collection, the Littoral Art Collection, and the Photography Collection, among others, and the stone sculpture collection Forma viva Portorož.

The National Martyrs Cemetery of Albania (Albanian: Varrezat e Dëshmorëve të Kombit) is the largest cemetery in Albania, located on a hill overlooking Tirana. The cemetery was also the resting place of former leader Enver Hoxha, who was subsequently disinterred and given a more humble grave in another public cemetery (Varrezat e Sharrës - Sharra Cemetery). The dictator's former resting place has been occupied with the remains of Azem Hajdari, the student leader behind the fight against the regime in the late 1980s who was assassinated in Tirana in 1998. Some 900 partisans who died during World War II are buried in the cemetery.
