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.

The old manor in Kalavrita, Greece, seems like a typical mansion from the period of Ottoman rule, but in fact the palace is much older - its original version, now greatly rebuilt, is believed to have been erected by the Despot of Morea, Thomas Palaiologos, brother of the last emperor of Byzantium and great-grandfather of the first holder of the imperial title in Russia, Tsar Ivan IV.
