  • Telč is a town in southern Moravia, near Jihlava, in the Czech Republic.  The Gothic castle of Telč was built in the second half of the 14th century by the lords of Hradec. At the end of the 15th century the castle fortifications were strengthened and a new gate-tower built. In the middle of the 16th century the medieval castle no longer satisfied Renaissance nobleman Zachariáš of Hradec, who had the castle altered in the Renaissance style. The ground floor was vaulted anew, the façade decorated with sgraffito, and the state apartments and living quarters received stucco ornamentation together with trompe l'oeil and chiaroscuro paintings in 1553. The counter-reformation brought the Jesuits to the town, who built the church of Name of Jesus in 1666-1667, according to the plans of Domenico Orsi. The column of the Virgin and the fountain in the centre of the square date from the 18th century. The town was founded in the 13th century as a royal water fort on the crossroads of busy merchant routes between Bohemia, Moravia and Austria. <br />
The most significant sight is the town square, a unique complex of long urban plaza with well-conserved Renaissance and Baroque houses with high gables and arcades; since 1992 all of this has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Renaissance market place. Its triangular market place possesses great beauty and harmony as well as great cultural importance, surrounded as it is by intact and well-preserved Renaissance buildings with a dazzling variety of facades. The town is located near the south-western border between Moravia and Bohemia, Vysocina Region. The houses in the market place, with facades from various periods, are basically Renaissance and conform to a standard plan. In 1979 Werner Herzog filmed the movie Woyzeck in Telč.  The extensive castle complex in Telč is a real pearl of Moravian Renaissance architecture. Since 1992, along with the historic city center, it has been registered on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

  • The Monastery of St. Katherine is the oldest continuously inhabited monastery in the World. Saint Catherine's Monastery, officially "Sacred Monastery of the God-Trodden Mount Sinai", lies on the Sinai Peninsula, at the mouth of a gorge at the foot of Mount Sinai, in the city of Saint Catherine, Egypt in the South Sinai Governorate. The monastery is controlled by the autonomous Church of Sinai, part of the wider Eastern Orthodox Church, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. <br />
Built between 548 and 565, the monastery is one of the oldest working Christian monasteries in the world. The site contains the world's oldest continually operating library, possessing many unique books including the Syriac Sinaiticus and, until 1859, the Codex Sinaiticus. According to tradition, Catherine of Alexandria was a Christian martyr sentenced to death on the breaking wheel. When this failed to kill her, she was beheaded. According to tradition, angels took her remains to Mount Sinai. Around the year 800, monks from the Sinai Monastery found her remains. <br />
Although it is commonly known as Saint Catherine's, the monastery's full official name is the Sacred Monastery of the God-Trodden Mount Sinai. The patronal feast of the monastery is the Feast of the Transfiguration. The monastery has become a favorite site of pilgrimage. The oldest record of monastic life at Sinai comes from the travel journal written in Latin by a woman named Egeria about 381–384. She visited many places around the Holy Land and Mount Sinai, where, according to the Old Testament, Moses received the Ten Commandments from God. The monastery was built by order of Emperor Justinian I (reigned 527–565), enclosing the Chapel of the Burning Bush (also known as "Saint Helen's Chapel") ordered to be built by Empress Consort Helena, mother of Constantine the Great, at the site where Moses is supposed to have seen the burning bush. The living bush on the grounds is purportedly the one seen by Moses. Structurally the monastery'

  • The Jewish Quarter of Třebíč is one of the best preserved Jewish ghettos in Europe. Therefore it was listed in 2003 (together with the Jewish Cemetery and the St. Procopius Basilica in Třebíč) in the UNESCO World Heritage List and it is the only Jewish monument outside Israel specifically placed on the List. <br />
The Jewish Quarter is by the River Jihlava. There are 123 houses, two synagogues and a Jewish cemetery. <br />
All original Jewish inhabitants (in 1890 there lived nearly 1,500 Jews, but in the 1930s only 300 of them were Jewish) were deported and murdered in concentration camps by Nazis during the World War II. Only ten of them came back after the war. Therefore many buildings of the Jewish town (e. g. the town hall, rabbi's office, hospital, poorhouse or school) do not serve their original purpose any more and the houses are now owned by people of non-Jewish faith.

The old Třebíč Jewish Quarter is unique as a whole. However, within it visitors will find several stunning sights deserving of a tour of their own. Among them is unquestionably the Rear Synagogue, which is also known as the New School, the Upper Prayer Hall and the New Synagogue.

  • Karlsbroen (tsjekkisk Karlův most), den mest kjente broen over elven Vltava i Praha. Den ble bygget i Karl IVs regjeringstid. Bygget ble påbegynt i 1357 som erstatning for den eldre Judithbroen som ble ødelagt under flommen i 1342.<br />
<br />
Broen er bygget av böhmisk sandstein, og det sies at Karl IV ga ordre til bøndene rundt Praha om å levere ferske egg som så ble blandet i mørtelen for å gjøre konstruksjonen sterkere.<br />
Mot slutten av tredveårskrigen i 1648 foregikk det harde kamper mellom den svenske arméen og gamlebyens befolkning, da svenskene hadde slått seg til på den vestre bredden og forsøkte forgjeves å ta gamlebyen. Under kampene ble brotårnet på Gamlebysiden som vender ut mot elven ødelagt og restene av den gotiske dekorasjonen måtte fjernes etterpå.<br />
På slutten av 1600-tallet og begynnelsen av 1700-tallet fikk broen dagens utseende da det ble satt ut barokkstatuer på pilarene. Under den store flommen i 1774 ble fire pilarer ødelagt og selv om brospennene ikke falt ned, ble trafikken over broen begrenset i en periode.<br />
Også senere flommer tok hardt på broen, særlig 5. september 1890 hvor drivved og materialer og lignende tettet løpene mellom brospennene og demmet opp vannet. Det sterke presset førte til at to pilarer brøt sammen og andre fikk store skader. Ved en pilar falt to statuer, av Ignatius av Loyola og Frans Xavier falt i elven. Etter dette ble broen stengt i to år for reparasjon.<br />
<br />
Broen kom seg ganske uskadd gjennom den store flommen i 2002. Etter denne ble det imidlertid nødvendig å rehabilitere to av bropilarene og dette arbeidet avslørte at det var nødvendig med en større rehabilitering av hele broen. Dette ble bestemt i 2005 og påbegynt i 2007. Charles Bridge, a medieval stone arch bridge that crosses the Vltava river in Prague, Czech Republic. Its construction started in 1357 under the auspices of King Charles IV, and finished in the early 15th century. The bridge replaced the old Judith Bridge built 1158–1172 th

  • Reinsdyret ved Smelthytta, Rørosmuseet. Statuen er til minne om den velkjente historien om reinsdyret som skal ha sparket unna mosen, slik at Hans Olsen Aasen fant malmstenen i Storvola. Statuen er en gave fra Røros Sparebank ved bankens 125 års-jubileum og ble avduka 13. august i 1967. Kunstneren er Skule Waksvik.  Statuen har denne inskripsjonen:<br />
Reinsbukken falt for Hans Aasens skott<br />
Sparket i dødskampen unna måssåen på fjellrabben<br />
Kåppårmalmen skinte fram<br />

  • Altertavle 1699: Jesus på korset med jomfru Maria og døperen Johannes. I koret er et veggmaleri fra 1607 som viser Jesus og de tolv apostlene. Maleriet har inskripsjoner, ornamenter, planter og blomster. Det er på hvit bunn med sterke farger. Årstallet finner vi i et felt på sørveggen. Agnette Mohn skrev at Urnesmaleren viser "sitt frodige, livskraftige talent med utpreget sans for de få, skarpe kontrastenes dekorative virkning". Det var trolig den samme maleren som i 1608 malte takmaleriene i Lom kirke. Arne Kvitrud mente at arbeidet ble betalt av Gjøde Pedersen som et sonoffer for et drap i 1607.<br />
<br />
Døpefatet er fra 1640 og ble gitt av Berent Nagel og Mette Søfrensdatter på Kroken. <br />
Bildet i skipet ved prekestolen («Isbildet») er fra 1665 og var en gave fra Jan Jansen Teiste, Maren Pedersdatter og Kirsten Jonsdatter Teiste. Altertavlen er trolig laget av Lambert van Haven i Bergen (født 1630 død 1695). <br />
Kirken har tre innrammede bilder, hvorav to henger i koret. Det minste er fra 1688 og viser Jesus på korset. Det har innskriften I.C.S og A.I.D, som nok viser til ekteparet Jens Christensen og Anna Jacobsdatter på Fuhr. Det største bildet, signert «KLS», er malt i 1678 og er trolig en kopi etter et bilde av Rubens. Det viser Jesus som bærer korset. (Wikip.) Urnes stavkirke. Urnes stavkirke ved gården Ornes på sørsiden av Lustrafjorden i Luster i Sogn og Fjordane. Kirken er datert til rundt 1140, og selv om dateringen er usikker, er kirken regnet for å være den eldste eksisterende stavkirke i Norge, men det er spor etter eldre kirker på samme sted. Nyere forskning har påviset at det har stått tre kirker på tuften tidligere, og at Urnes derfor kan ha vært kirkested helt tilbake til tiden for kristningen av Norge. Ved utgravninger under kirkegulvet er det funnet stolpehull etter de to tidligste kirkene på stedet, som må ha vært stolpekirker. Den er også arktitektonisk og kulturhistorisk unik blant de gjenværende stavkirkene på grunn
