Przysucha, PL
The cemetery was established in the first decades of the 18th century and the first records of its existence date from 1723. The cemetery was in use until World War II. In 1942, the bodies of people shot by the Germans—including 11 members of the Judenrat, and 19 people killed in the yard of the community board—were buried in mass graves. By order of the Germans, some tombstones were used to pave the streets and build a gendarmerie station. The cemetery fell into further disrepair in the post-war years.

Pula, HR
The Pula Cathedral was created by the extension of the previous religious buildings, present on the site since the 5th century. It was richly decorated with murals and mosaics on the floor, a very small part of which has been preserved today. The present classical facade was donated in 1712, at the time of Bishop Bottari, when extensive restoration work on the basilica and the Baroque bell tower began, which was completed in 1924. The free-standing bell tower was completed in 1707.

Pyryatyn, UA
The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. The cemetery is marked on the Russian map of 1860s, so it can be assumed the cemetery was founded before that time. The oldest preserved tombstone dates to the 19th century.
Kazan, RU
It was named after Kul Sharif, who was a religious scholar who served there. Kul Sharif died with his numerous students while defending Kazan from Russian forces in 1552. It is believed that the building featured minarets, both in the form of cupolas and tents. Its design was traditional for Volga Bulgaria, although elements of early Renaissance and Ottoman architecture could have been used as well. In 1552, during the Siege of Kazan it was destroyed by Ivan the Terrible. The mosque displays several detail through mosaics, ornaments, calligraphy, and more. Tatar scholars speculate as to whether some elements of Kul Sharif Mosque can be seen in Saint Basil's Cathedral in Moscow (8 minarets, a central cupola, not typical for Russian architecture). Since 1996, the mosque has been rebuilt in the Kazan Kremlin, although its look is decisively modern. Its inauguration on July 24, 2005, marked the beginning of celebrations dedicated to the Millennium of Kazan. It can accommodate 6,000 worshipers.
