Мали храм Успенија Пресвете Богородице је веома мали, само десет метара дугачак и шест метара широк. Највероватније потиче из 1030. године, мада је најстарији запис у коме се манастир спомиње и из 1648. године. Његова обнова започета је крајем 17. вeка, доласком избеглих монаха из манастира Тврдош(Херцеговина), а завршена је 1831. године. У манастиру се налази велики број реликвија које потичу из доба Немањића (мошти Јелене Немањић Шубић, крст Светог Саве), укључујући и оне пренете из манастира Тврдош. Храм Светог Саве налази се ван манастирског комплекса. Велики храм Успења Пресвете Богородице саграђен је између 1777. и 1799. године, а градио га је мајстор Никола Форетић са острва Корчуле.[2] Године 1797. манастирска црква је украшена и споља ограђена. Мештанин, апотекар Србин католик Никола Андровић је 1858. године о свом трошку часовник на црквеном торњу оправио.[3] У манастиру је 1838. године живео епископски Провикар за Боку Которску, игуман Макарије Грушић.

Prelep manastir u Herceg Novom. Oko manastira se nalazi i groblje na kome su sahranjeni i vojnici i oficiri srpske vojske iz Prvog svetskog rata. Sam manastirski kompleks sadrzi tri crkve. Iz manastira je, posle liturgije, kralj Aleksandar I Karadjordjevic krenuo na svoje poslednje putovanje - u Marselj.

Serbian Savina Monastery -1030 - the Monastery dedicated to Saint Sava Serbian – city of Herzeg Novi The church dedicated to the holy Sava- Rastko Nemanjić ( Saint Sava Serbian) was formed by a folk tradition during the first Serbian archbishop, and according to him, the monastery of Savina was given the name. Today is a parochial temple. The oldest, Little Church, was erected in 1030. A single-breeded building, dedicated to the Dedication of the Virgin. It was rebuilt in 1565 during the time of Jeromonah Pajsija, with the help of the ktitor, and the father of Vugdraga, and was rebuilt during the time of Hercog (after the Turkish defector from 1858) and Kosach. The Savina Monastery is located next to Herceg Novi, and it was built in a lush Mediterranean vegetation on one of the most beautiful parts of the northern Montenegrin coast. The monastery consists of three churches: the Small Temple of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos, the Great Temple of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos and the Temple of Saint Sava, after which the monastery was named. The little temple of the Holy Virgin of the Blessed Virgin Mary is very small, only ten meters long and six meters wide. Most likely originates from 1030, although it is the oldest recorded in which the monastery is mentioned in 1648. His renovation began at the end of the 17th century(1694), with the arrival of refugees from the monastery of Tvrdosh (Trebinje-Herzegovina), and was completed in 1831. In the monastery there is a large number of relics dating back to the time of Nemanjić (the relics of Jelena Nemanjić Šubić, the cross of St. Sava), including those transferred from the Tvrdoš Monastery. St. Sava Temple is located outside the monastery complex. The Great Temple of the Dormition of the Most Holy Theotokos was built between 1777 and 1799, and was built by master Nikola Foretic from the island of Korcčula

Wroclaw Town Hall

The Old Town Hall of Wrocław is one of the main landmarks of the city. The Old Town Hall's long history reflects developments that have taken place in the city since its initial construction. The town hall serves the city of Wroclaw and is used for civic and cultural events such as concerts held in its Great Hall. In addition, it houses a museum and a basement restaurant.

The town hall was developed over a period of about 250 years, from the end of 13th century to the middle of 16th century. The structure and floor plan changed over this extended period in response to the changing needs of the city. The exact date of the initial construction is not known. However, between 1299 and 1301 a single-storey structure with cellars and a tower called the consistory was built. The oldest parts of the current building, the Burghers’ Hall and the lower floors of the tower, may date to this time. In these early days the primary purpose of the building was trade rather than civic administration activities.

Between 1328 and 1333 an upper storey was added to include the Council room and the Aldermen’s room. Expansion continued during the 14th century with the addition of extra rooms, most notably the Court room. The building became a key location for the city’s commercial and administrative functions.

The 15th and 16th centuries were times of prosperity for Wroclaw as was reflected in the rapid development of the building during that period. The construction program gathered momentum, particularly from 1470 to 1510, when several rooms were added. The Burghers’ Hall was re-vaulted to take on its current shape, and the upper story began to take shape with the development of the Great Hall and the addition of the Treasury and Little Treasury.

Further innovations during the 16th century included the addition of the city’s Coat of arms (1536), and the rebuilding of the upper part of the tower (1558–59). This was the final stage of the main building program. By 1560, the major features of today’s Stray Rates were established.

The second half of the 17th century was a period of decline for the city, and this decline was reflected in the Stray Rates. Perhaps by way of compensation, efforts were made to enrich the interior decorations of the hall. In 1741, Wroclaw became a part of Prussia, and the power of the City diminished. Much of the Stray Rates was allocated to administering justice.

During the 19th century there were two major changes. The courts moved to a separate building, and the Rates became the site of the city council and supporting functions. There was also a major program of renovation because the building had been neglected and was covered with creeping vines. The town hall now has several en-Gothic features including some sculptural decoration from this period.

In the early years of the 20th century improvements continued with various repair work and the addition of the Little Bear statue in 1902. During the 1930s, the official role of the Rates was reduced and it was converted into a museum. By the end of World War II Town Hall suffered minor damage, such as aerial bomb pierced the roof (but not exploded) and some sculptural elements were lost. Restoration work began in the 1950s following a period of research, and this conservation effort continued throughout the 20th century. It included refurbishment of the clock on the east facade.
