The recently restored Călui monastery in Romania. Despite the small size of both the monastery church and the entire complex, it features fortifications, ancient tombs, and beautiful frescoes - and the reconstruction has revealed lost parts of the complex.

The covered market of Buzau in Romania, originally known as the Obor Hall and more simply as a Bazar, shortly after it was built, in 2015 and after a recent reconstruction.
While the decision to abandon the original color scheme is weird, the restoration of lost historical details is delightful.

Built in the XIX century, the neo-Gothic, or rather pseudo-Gothic, church of the Serbian monastery of Bavanište is more reminiscent of some American church of the same era - or, given its distinctly Orthodox appearance, something that might have been built in the modern States for one of the many emerging Orthodox communities.

One of the most beautiful churches in the ancient town of Asenovgrad in Bulgaria is the Church of Saint George, which is not only one of the main examples of the Bulgarian Revival in the town, but also a rare example of a church with sculptural decoration in the country. Two bell towers are another interesting detail, and the church can also boast that it was here that the old city school was founded.
