An old post station, and once a tavern, in Lugoj, Romania.
Although the current appearance of the building indicates XIX century eclecticism, the present structure was built almost three centuries ago, with its roots dating back to the Middle Ages.
However, for most of the last three centuries, the building has no longer been a station, after the last owner donated it to the Church as a parish house.

A broken pedestal of an ambo from one of the Byzantine basilicas of an unknown city located in the Golemo Gradishte in North Macedonia.
During excavations, it was almost intact, but over the years since then, it has been broken by vandals, further proof that such places need to be either beautificated and protected, or restored.

The massive and still-restored enclosure of the Saint Pantaleon Monastery near Veliki Preslav, Bulgaria.
The monastery was conceived in the middle of the XX century as a large-scale revival of the medieval monastery that existed here, and one of the buildings was even completed, built in the spirit of the then contemporary architecture with a Bulgarian-Byzantine stylistics. Alas, the Second World War prevented the project from being realised, and the monastery became active only in our time.

The Fetisov's manor in Shadrinsk is not only one of the most beautiful houses in the town, but also one of the oldest, which testifies to the wealth of its owners, who managed to build a mansion in the early classicist style in a remote provincial town where there were almost no stone buildings at that time.
