Arco Bollani je renesansni luk u Udinama, smešten na trgu Piazza della Libertà, služi kao ulaz za Castello di Udine

Projektovao ga je 1556. godine čuveni renesansni arhitekta Andrea Palladio

Na vrhu luka nalazi se krilati lav Svetog Marka, simbol Venecijanske Republike

Naručilac spomenika bio je Domenico Bollani. Izgrađen je kao znak zahvalnosti nakon epidemije kuge koja je pogodila grad

Paladio je skoro 20 godina kasnije iskoristio ovaj nacrt kao osnovu za Porta Gemona u mestu San Daniele del Friuli

To je jedno od njegovih retkih dela u regionu Friuli, njegova dela su uglavnom oko Vićence i Venecije

Gemaltes Haus je jedna od najpoznatijih i najfotografisanijih građevina u Gracu. 

Nalazi se u ulici Herrengasse 3 i poznata je po svojoj jedinstvenoj, u potpunosti oslikanoj fasadi. 

Zbog toga je često nazivaju i "Oslikana kuća". 

Prvi put je zabeležena 1360. godine kao Herzogshof (Vojvodski dvor).

Današnja oslikana fasada potiče iz 1742. godine,

Johan Majer je oslikao fasadu po nalogu tadašnjeg vlasnika, Franza fon Lathurnera.

Freske na fasadi prikazuju scene iz grčke i rimske mitologije.

I na glavnom trgu (Hauptplatz) nalaze se zgrade sa fasadama, koje privlače pažnju svojim ukrasima i bojama.

La Bomboniera is a historic pastry shop in Trieste, founded in 1836 and characterized by an Art Nouveau style and Austro-Hungarian pastry tradition. Its history is linked to a romantic anecdote: the creation of the "Rigojansci" dessert, inspired by a love story between the Hungarian violinist Rigo di Anci and the wealthy American heiress Clara World. Founded in 1836, the pastry shop has remained unchanged for over a century, preserving its period atmosphere. The shop is known for its typical Austro-Hungarian desserts, including the Rigojansci, Pischinger, Sacher, and Dobos cakes. The "Rigojansci" dessert was created from a love story between the Hungarian violinist Rigo di Anci and the American princess Clara World, who left her husband for him.

Malé náměstí is a small triangular square that adjoins the Old Town Square. One of the houses standing in the square is a house that has V. J. Rott written in capital letters on it, which is why it is also called the House at the Rott. In 1850 the house was bought by the family of Vincenc Josef Rott. His son Ladislav then had the house rebuilt as a department store at the end of the 19th century. Therefore, various professions (blacksmith, carpenter, gardener) are displayed on the facade of the house, which is supplemented by the inscription “Saint Wenceslas don`t let us perish, nor our descendants”, which are the words of the Saint Wenceslas Chorale from the 12th century. The author of the sgraffito is one of the most important Czech painters of that time, Mikoláš Aleš. It is known that he didn`t physically participate in the creation of sgraffito because he suffered from dizziness and therefore could not climb the scaffolding. He therefore created the templates according to which the sgraffito was created. In 1948, of course, the house and the company were taken over by the Communists and the Rott family emigrated.
