Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans
The Residence of the Metropolitan of Bukovinia and Dalmatia represents an ingenious architectural style built between 1864 and 1882 by the Czech architect Josef Hlavka. An outstanding example of 19th century historicist architecture, the complex also includes a seminary and monastery, and features a dome, a cross-shaped seminary church, gardens and parks. The complex embodies architectural and cultural influences from the Byzantine period, reflects the strong influence of Eastern Orthodoxy during the reign of the Habsburgs, and reflects the policy of religious tolerance of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
Historic Centre of Avignon: Papal Palace, Episcopal Ensemble and Avignon Bridge
In the 14th century, this city in southern France was the seat of the Popes. The Palais des Papes, a simple-looking fortress, beautifully decorated by Simone Martini and Matteo Giovannetti, overlooks the city, the surrounding walls and the remains of a 12th-century bridge over the Rhône. Below this outstanding example of Gothic architecture, the Petit Palais and the Romanesque Notre-Dame Cathedral form a remarkable group of monuments that testify to the dominant role Avignon played in 14th-century Christian Europe.
Archaeological Area and the Patriarchal Basilica of Aquileia
Aquileia (in Friuli Venezia Giulia) was one of the largest and richest cities of the early Roman Empire, destroyed by Attila in the middle of the 5th century. Much of its remains remain buried under fields to this day, making it the largest archaeological reserve of its kind. The Patriarchal Basilica is an outstanding building with a unique mosaic pavement, which played a key role in the evangelization of much of Central Europe.
