Roman Ruins - Caesarea
Caesarea. Caesarea is one of Israel's most impressive and romantic settings. The city and harbor comprise a monumental undertaking of the prodigious builder Herod the Great, King of Judea from 37 to 4 B.C.E. Only about one-tenth of the city has been excavated. From the amphitheater to the archways of its aqueduct, much remains intact. Two towers topped by six colossal statues, which once marked the entrance to the city, have remained underwater for 2,000 years. Snorkelers and deep-sea divers now have the opportunity to tour the sunken Roman port.

Sonoma House - Helsinki - Finland

The 100-year-old Sanoma Publishing House puts out the largest daily newspaper in all of Scandinavia, is one of the largest Finnish newspaper and book publishers, and holds shares, through the Helsinki Media Group, in one of the country's two nationwide commercial television stations.

St. Augustine's Square - Macau - China
St. Augustine's SquareThe original church was built by Spanish Augustinian friars in 1586 and taken over by the Portuguese three years later. The present building dates from 1814 and has a spacious interior with three aisles separated by colonnades. The marble-clad high altar contains a statue of Christ carrying the cross. When the Augustinians were expelled in 1712, the Passos procession was cancelled. It was a time of food shortage and the local Chinese associated the two events. They asked that ""the man with the cross"" walk the streets again and when the Church agreed the shortage ended.
