Castle District - Budapest - Hungary
The Castle District is one of the most romantic pedestrian sections in Budapest. A medieval little town with atmospheric streets, picturesque houses, gas lamps and beautiful monuments. The main street of the district - Tßrnok Street - ranges from D?sz Square to today's district centre, Matthias Church. Colourful little houses border the square and the neighbouring streets. The winding streets and narrow houses date back to the Middle Ages, occasionally decorated with valuable Gothic window and door frames. Elegant Baroque and Louis XVI-style palaces are relics of the restoration work after the Turkish occupation.

Church of Lutheran - Jerusalem
A monastery famous for its wine, gardens & architecture. It was founded in 1890 by the French Trappist order of monks as a contemplative monastery. It is now widely renowned for its wine, as well as its lovely location, architecture and gardens. The winemaking started in 1899. The monks reclaimed and cultivated the Land and planted olive groves, grain fields and vegetable gardens as well as the vineyards. In the rocky areas, pine trees and cypresses were chosen. In World War 1 the monks were expelled by the Turks, but they were able to return, and in 1926 the present monastery was constructed. Visitors are welcome to enjoy the gardens, the architecture and to buy the wine, spirits, vermouths and the olive oil produced here.

Dom Pedro V Theatre - Macau - China
Dom Pedro V TheatreFully refurbished and air-conditioned, the 'Dom Pedro V' Theatre and the Macau Club are situated opposite St. Augustine's Church. The Macau Club includes a theatre, a large hall and committee rooms. The club was designed by Pedro Germano Marquez in 1859. The theatre is a colonnaded building constructed in the grand neo-classical manner. There is a large entrance hall hung with an elegant chandelier, and the doors are swept by red velvet curtains. The theatre itself is roughly oval with a balcony round the upper part of the auditorium, and is intimate in its proportions. The stage is rather narrow but deep. The feeling of exclusiveness created by its size is emphasized by the plush velvet seats and the general touches of extravagance, such as the cut- glass door handles, the red plush curtains and the crystal chandeliers.

Dominion Square - Macau - China
Dominion SquareSt Dominic's has a violently dramatic past. In 1644 a military officer who supported the Spanish against the Portuguese was murdered at the altar during Mass. In 1707 the Dominicans sided with the Pope against Macao's bishop in the Rites Controversy. When local soldiers tried to enforce an excommunication order on them, the friars locked themselves in the church for three days and pelted the soldiers with stones. In 1834 the monastic orders were suppressed and for a time the church was used by the government as barracks, stable and public works office.
