The Basilica of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and St. Mary Magdalene or "Poznań Fara" is a Baroque parish church and a collegiate church opened in 1705. It stands on the site of an old church dedicated to St. Stanislaus.

The Old jewish Cemetery of Prague is among the oldest Jewish Cemeteries in Europe. Around 12,000 people are buried here.

The majority of the 400 tombstones on the site are well-preserved or repaired, while some sections of the wall are broken or missing. The wall was originally constructed of quarry stone. The last burial in the cemetery took place in the second half of the 18th century.

The Cathedral of Prato is one of the oldest churches in Prato, already mentioned in the 10th century. The sides and the bell tower (with the exception of the last cell built in 1356) come from the original 18th-century structure. During the Trecento the building was enlarged following the growing popular success of the relic of Santa Cintola. The buildings in front of the façade were demolished to create the new and very large square designed to receive the crowds for the ostentation of the sacred relic.

it is more than likely that the Orthodox Church had its parishes in Spisska Nova Ves as well as in most other Spis villages since the time of the mission of the holy brothers Cyril and Methodius until about the thirteenth century

The interior was gradually renovated after 1990. There are new icons on the iconostasis (the work of Jana Baudisova); as well as the main icons in the altar, the icon of the presov. The Virgin in life before the iconostasis (see the picture on the right here), icons displayed for worship on annals and the Crucifixion icon. In the 1990s, believers adapted the house of a former laundromat, where they built a circular tank as a baptistery for the baptism of adults by full immersion. Around the year 2000, the faithful archondarics were set up for the meeting (here we can sit together after the service, catechesis of catechumens and teaching of religion for children take place here, and parish meetings and various discussions take place here). After 2010, the church interior was renovated (cared for by Br. Anatoly and Br. Yuri), stasidia were installed and a sound system was provided, thanks to which even those believers who cannot fit into the church or are with children in the archondaric can listen to the service. In 2018, large panel icons of Czech saints were installed in boxes decorated with carvings in the Byzantine style (the work of Andrej Vavra). (You can partially see the transformation of the interior of the house temple here.)

Protestant church originally built in the 13th century as a monastic church by Dominican Order.

The Predigerkirche was a church founded, together with a convent, in Zurich by the Dominicans in the 13th century. With the Protestant Reformation, it was transformed into a Protestant place of worship. From 1606 to 1614, the nave was fitted with Baroque elements. In 1887, the monastery building was destroyed by fire and the Zentralbibliothek was built in its place in 1915. In 1900, the church was endowed with the highest tower in the city, measuring 97 metres, designed by G. Gull and clearly inspired by the collapsed Grossmünster Towers.
