Pilgrimage Church of St John of Nepomuk at Zelená Hora
This pilgrimage church dedicated to Saint John of Nepomuk is located in Zelena Hora, not far from Ždar nad Sázava in Moravia. It was built in the early 18th century with a star-shaped plan, making it one of the most unusual works of the 18th century. The great architect Jan Blazej Santini, whose highly creative style was somewhere between neo-Gothic and Baroque, designed it.
Historic Centre of the City of Salzburg
Salzburg has preserved an extremely rich urban structure that developed between the Middle Ages and the 19th century when it was a city-state ruled by a prince-archbishop. Its flamboyant Gothic art attracted many craftsmen and artists, and the city later became even more famous for the work of Italian architects Vincenzo Scamozzi and Santini Solari, to whom the Baroque style of Salzburg's city center is largely attributed. This meeting point of northern and southern Europe perhaps inspired the talent of Salzburg's most famous son, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose name has been associated with the city ever since.
