The Bazaar Mosque is an Ottoman mosque built in 1533 and 1534. It was closed by the communist government of Enver Hoxha in 1967 and its minaret collapsed. After the loss of power by the communist regime in 1991, the mosque was reopened for worship. In 1994, a balcony of the minaret, larger than that of the Ottoman period, was rebuilt.

Above the previous Romanesque construction, a Gothic hall church with polygonal chancel was erected in the first half of the 15th century. No tower was added to the church, but the hall was heightened by half its size and covered with a lierne vault. Above the chancel that boasts its groin vault, three massive defence levels and a timber frame parapet walk were built. In the 15th and 16th century the church was protected by a wall and several defensive towers, of which only the southern tower, serving both as a gate and a bell tower still exists. Later the town hall was even located here. The defensive systems of the chancel were dismantled in the 19th century and replaced by a high-hipped roof. On the western facade the probably Romanesque painted portal was exposed. The organ, the pulpit and the altar were set up in the second half of the 18th century and the pews and the tabernacle are Gothic. The sedilia with round arches originate from the Romanesque construction phase.

Beauvais, FR
Construction of Beauvais Cathedral began in 1225 and the choir was completed in 1272. A second phase of construction, however, lasted from 1499 to 1532, and saw the elevation of the transept. Although its nave collapsed several times due to its dizzying height, and was never really completed, Beauvais Cathedral has the highest nave in the world.

Bective Abbey is a former Cistercian abbey founded in 1147, before the Anglo-Norman invasion, as one of the first Cistercian monasteries in Ireland by the King of Meath Murchad Ua Maeil Sheachlainn as a daughter monastery of Mellifont Abbey and therefore belonged to the filiation of the primary abbey of Clairvaux. In 1537, the monastery was dissolved. No visible remains of the first building from the 12th century have survived. The nave still has walled arcades from the end of the 13th century.
