Ψηλά, ανάμεσα στα στενά δρομάκια της Παλιάς Πόλης (Alta Citta) του Bergamo, ξεπροβάλει δειλά η Παλιά Πλατεία (Piazza Vecchia). Περιτριγυρισμένη από το επιβλητικό, μεσαιωνικό (12ος αιώνας) Palazzo della Ragione, την αλλοτινή διοικητική έδρα της πόλης που σήμερα φιλοξενεί στις αίθουσες του τη συλλογή των πινάκων της Accademia Carrara. Στην πρόσοψη του κτιρίου, το φτερωτό λιοντάρι του Αγίου Μάρκου στέκει αγέρωχο ως αδιαψευστος μάρτυρας της μακράς Ενετοκρατίας. Το αίθριο έχει ένα καλά διατηρημένο ηλιακό ρολόι του 18ου αιώνα..

Devin, Slovakia
Devín is a borough
of Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, located in the Bratislava IV district.
Originally a separate village at the confluence of the Danube and Morava
rivers, Devín maintained its rural character and today, it is one of the
smallest boroughs of Bratislava by population.
It is an important
archaeological site, featuring the ruins of the famous Devin Castle. Geographically,
Devín lies on the foothills of Devinska Kobyla next to the Devin Gate, a narrow
stretch on the river Danube, which was viewed as the western gateway to the Kingdom
of Hungary. It lies near the border between Slovakia and Austria which runs
down the middle of the Morava and Danube rivers, and which previously formed
part of the Iron Curtain between the Eastern and the Western Bloc. The word
Devín stems from the Slovak word deva, which signifies "a girl". Good bus connections with the center of Bratislava are a part of the
municipal public transportation system. Most of the people commute to
work elsewhere in Bratislava.
- By bus: City buses 28 and 29 run from the Novy Most bridge (near Old Town, on the bank opposite the “flying saucer” tower), at least twice per hour year round. The terminus of Bus 29 is just below the castle, but Bus 28 continues beyond the village.

North(ern) Kosovska Mitrovica panoramic view
The Orthodox Church of St. Demetrius located on a hill above North(ern) Kosovska Mitrovica, in Kosovo.
The town served as the de facto capital
of the North Kosovo region which refused to work with the institutions
of the Republic of Kosovo. Therefore, local Serbs formed the Assembly of
Community of Municipalities, supported only by Serbia. However, with
the signing of the 2013 Brussels Agreement between the governments of
Kosovo and Serbia, Serbia officially dropped its support for the
assembly, agreeing to create a new Community of Serb municipalities, an
association of municipalities with Serb majorities in Kosovo. Its
assembly will have no legislative authority and the judicial authorities
will be integrated and operate within the Kosovo legal framework.
