Europe
Venetian clock tower - Each and every people that ruled this city, has left visible signs on the castles and other buildings. Characteristic architectural samples of the period of the Venetian occupation are the Churches, the Castles & the venetian Clock Tower. The English colonel Leake, who passed from Preveza in 1805, records ruins of houses built according to the venetian style. Preveza preserves until today certain architectural ensembles that are interesting to the visitors: industrial buildings of the '30s and neoclassical houses of the period after World War I. The role of Preveza as a tourist centre has been upgraded during the last years.

The tomb of the monastery's first abbot, Saint Daniil the Hermit, is found at the monastery. Voroneţ is one of the most famous painted moldavian monastery in Romania, located in Bucovina, near Gura Humorului town. The church was built by Stephen The Great, in 1488 in less than four months, on a triconch plan (with three apses), with a chancel, a naos with its tower, and a pronaos. The small windows, their rectangular frames of crossed rods and the receding pointed or shouldered arches of the interior doorframes are Gothic. The exterior walls - including a representation of the Last Judgment on the west wall - were painted in 1547 with a background of vivid cerulean blue. This blue is so vibrant that art historians refer to Voroneţ blue the same way they do Titian red. Often known as the 'Sistine Chapel of the East', the frescos at Voroneţ feature an intense shade of blue known in Romania as 'Voroneţ blue'. Voronet Monastery - The tomb of the monastery's first abbot, Saint Daniil the Hermit, is found at the monastery.
