The Franciscan Church in Brașov, Romania, stands as a remarkable example of Gothic architecture within the old town. Believed to have been erected around 1450, the church has witnessed various architectural transformations throughout its history, particularly during the Renaissance and Baroque periods. The church's current form, dominated by a Baroque style, was established in 1711. Dedicated to Saint John the Baptist, the church's historical journey is intriguing. Founded by the nuns of the Order of Saint Clare, also known as the Clarisses, the church's origins can be traced back to the 15th century. The first written record dates back to 1486, showcasing its early significance in the religious landscape of Brașov. However, in 1543, the rise of Lutheranism in Transylvania led to the expulsion of the Clarisses from the town, resulting in the church being repurposed as a granary. The Lutheran era continued until 1644 when the church was returned to its original status as a place of Lutheran worship. A turning point came with the arrival of the Jesuit and Franciscan orders alongside the Austrian Royal Army in 1686. Following an extensive fire in 1716, which caused substantial damage, the church was reconstructed through the contributions of figures like Generals Königsegg and Tige. The church was eventually handed over to the Franciscan order in 1724, officially inaugurated in 1725. The ensuing years marked the adornment of the interior, showcasing the talents of the order's members. Throughout its history, the church underwent several architectural enhancements. Notable features include a wooden bell-tower, a late Gothic walled-up archway on the southern frontispiece dating back to the 15th century, and various altars dedicated to different saints. The interior boasts Baroque church furniture from the late 1730s, with intricate inlays. The central piece of the main altar depicts St. John baptizing Jesus Christ, flanked by Corinthian columns. Richly adorned gold medallions and sculptures further enhance the interior's visual appeal. The church's organ, constructed in 1751 and later rebuilt in 1939, adds to its musical and artistic significance. In the 20th century, the church underwent restoration efforts, including interior painting by artist Hans Bulhardt in Neo-baroque style. The church holds a place of honor on Romania's historic monument list, recognized for its architectural and cultural importance. The Franciscan Church in Brașov, Romania, is not only an architectural masterpiece but also a testament to the religious and artistic history of the region. With its rich history, architectural evolution, and artistic embellishments, the church stands as a captivating symbol of Brașov's heritage.

The current City Hall in Szeged is the third iteration of a municipal building on the same site. The first was built in 1728, followed by a second design by István Vedres in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The second building was later modified due to a flood in 1879, and Ödön Lechner and Gyula Pártos added another floor and a central spire. The Neo-baroque City Hall was inaugurated in 1883 by Emperor Franz Joseph, featuring a prominent saying by him on the staircase window. The phoenix on the pediment symbolizes the city's revival. The Bridge of Sighs, originally built for the Emperor's visit, is notable. The courtyard hosts summer performances of prose and music.

The primary theatrical venue in Szeged, Hungary, is the National Theatre of Szeged. Erected in 1883, it was designed by the renowned architectural duo Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer in a blend of Eclectic and Neo-baroque styles. The establishment of the Szeged Theatrical Association in 1878 aimed to gather resources for a forthcoming theater. The devastation caused by the catastrophic 1879 flood, which ravaged the city, further fueled these efforts. With the approval of the city council, construction commenced in 1882 on a plot bordered by Vörösmarty, Deák Ferenc, and Wesselényi streets. The theater's stage sets were acquired from the unfortunate Ring Theatre in Vienna, which had suffered a tragic fire. The grand inauguration took place on 14 October 1883, graced by the presence of Emperor Franz Joseph I. Just 18 months later, on 22 April 1885, a fire engulfed the theater. Nevertheless, reconstruction was promptly undertaken. The Fellner & Helmer architectural firm adjusted the original plans to enhance fire safety and introduced minor modifications to the exterior design. The historic theater's ceiling adornments were skillfully painted in 1885 by the renowned Vienna court artist Hermann von Kern (1839-1912). The refurbished theater welcomed its audience once again on 2 October 1886. A century after its initial unveiling, the theater underwent a comprehensive renovation spanning from 1978 to 1986.

The Euroherc Insurance Building, formerly known as the Rinaldi Palace, dates back to 1890 when it was erected in Rijeka. Architect Vladimir Grubešić designed the "Euroherc" building (previously the 'Croatia Line' building) as the headquarters for Croatia's largest shipping company, serving as a significant symbol of Rijeka's maritime prowess. The construction involved incorporating white marble with reflective glazing, creating a representative structure comprising multiple units that harmoniously blend with the historical surroundings. The Muchovich-Rinaldi palace, originally built in 1890 by architect Randich, was skillfully integrated into this modernist edifice. The palace's facade displays a fusion of Neo-Renaissance and Neo-baroque elements, exemplifying the essence of high historicism. Grubešić, the architect behind the project, took a postmodernist approach, endeavoring to reconcile and preserve valuable architectural components from the late 19th century.

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.

Varna railway station, also known as Zhelezopatna gara Varna in Bulgarian, serves the city and municipality of Varna, which is the third most populous city in Bulgaria. It is one of the oldest railway stations in the country. The current station building was constructed between 1908 and 1925 and was officially opened by Tsar Boris III of Bulgaria. The station has been serving the city since October 26, 1866, when the Varna-Rousse railway line was established. The construction of the station took place in stages under the guidance of architects Nikola Kostov and Kiro Marichkov. The building showcases a blend of Art Nouveau style with Neo-baroque elements, and Italian architects were involved in the interior and exterior design. In 1929, a German clockwork was installed in the station's clock tower. Extensive restoration work was carried out on the station in 2004 and 2005. Similar in style to Varna railway station, Burgas Central railway station was also constructed in a similar fashion. In the past, Varna served as a stop along the Orient Express route, where passengers would board a ferry to Constantinople after traveling by train from Giurgiu to Ruse, and then taking a ferry to Varna. Today, Varna railway station is an important junction with three lines connecting to Sofia, as well as separate lines to Karnobat, Rousse, Plovdiv, Pleven, Shumen, Dobrich, and other destinations.
