Town Hall and Roland on the Marketplace of Bremen
The town hall and the statue of Roland on the market place in Bremen in northwestern Germany are outstanding representatives of the self-government and sovereignty of citizens, which developed in the Holy Roman Empire of Europe. The Old Town Hall was built in the early 15th century in Gothic style after Bremen joined the Hanseatic League. In the early 17th century, the building was remodeled in the so-called Weser Renaissance style. In the early 20th century, a New Town Hall was built next to the Old Town Hall as part of a complex that survived bombing during World War II. The statue is 5.5 meters high and dates from 1404.
Urban Historic Centre of Cienfuegos
The colonial town of Cienfuegos was founded in 1819 on Spanish territory but was originally settled by French immigrants. It became a trading post for sugar cane, tobacco and coffee. Located on the south-central Caribbean coast of Cuba, in what was once the country's sugar cane, mango, tobacco and coffee producing region, the town initially developed in a neoclassical style. Later it became more eclectic but retained a harmonious overall townscape. Particularly interesting buildings include the Government Palace (Town Hall), the San Lorenzo School, the Diocese, the Ferrer Palace, the former College and some residences. Cienfuegos is the first architectural complex and an outstanding example of the new ideas of modern, sanitary and orderly urban planning that developed in Latin America from the 18th to the 19th century.
