Santa Maria delle Grazie, Arezzo
Santa Maria delle Grazie is a church in Arezzo, Tuscany, central Italy. It is located on the site of an ancient sanctuary with a spring that, in the Etruscan-Roman era, it was consecrated to Apollo. In the Middle Ages it was known as Fonte Tecta. In 1425, Saint Bernardino of Siena tried in vain to have it destroyed. Ousted from the city, he returned in 1428 and, this time, he was able to obtain the replacement of the spring with an oratory. Here, from 1428 and 1431, Parri di Spinello, son of Spinello Aretino, painted a fresco with the Madonna of Misericordia, now inserted in the marble altar by Andrea Della Robbia . The altar portrays, in the tympanum, a Madonna with Child between two Angels; in the niches are the saints Laurentinus, Pergentinus, Donatus and Bernardino, while the paliotto has a Pietà. Around 1490, the oratory received a portico, designed by Benedetto da Maiano. The structure was inspired by Filippo Brunelleschi's Ospedale degli Innocenti. On the longest side it has seven arcades with medallions, on a basement with steps. The church itself was built from 1435 to 1444, a late Gothic edifice designed by Domenico del Fattore, with a single nave with cross-vaults and a short apse. It houses a fresco with Pope Sixtus IV Enthroned between cardinals Gonzaga and Piccolomini. At the right side, a chapel dedicated to Saint Bernardino was built after his death in 1444.

Bernini considerava esta igreja uma de suas obras mais perfeitas e seu filho, Domenico, lembrou, anos depois, que Bernini passava horas sentado dentro dela apreciando sua realização.O cardeal-presbítero do título de Santo André no Quirinal é o brasileiro Odilo Scherer, arcebispo de São Paulo.

É co-catedral de Veneza, em conjunto com a Basílica de São Marcos. Fundada no século VII, na ilha de Olivolo, local de um antigo povoado que mais tarde foi integrado na nascente cidade de Veneza, segundo a tradição foi consagrada pelo Bispo de Eraclea como igreja bizantina dedicada aos santos mártires Sérgio e Baco. Na viragem do século VIII para o século IX Veneza foi o centro de lutas políticas que opunham o Patriarca de Grado, João I , ao Doge de Veneza Galbaio Maurice e seu filho João, no confronto entre o Império Franco e o Império Bizantino. Foi nesse ponto de colisão em 775 Maurizio Galbaio criou um novo bispado em Olivolo, nomeando Obelário como o primeiro bispo da futura diocese de Castello. Veneza tornou-se a nova capital do ducado em 812. A catedral foi reconstruída em 841 pelo poderoso bispo Orso Partecipazio, filho e neto dos doges, e dedicar-se-ia a São Pedro Apóstolo. A este edifício sucederam-se outros, por incêndios que sucessivamente foram destruindo as construções. O edifício actual foi iniciado em 1596.
The Chiesa di San Giuliano , commonly called San Zulian in the Venetian dialect, is a church in Venice. San Zulian is in the parish of San Salvador. It is situated on the Merceria, the main shopping street of the city. Originally a structure from the 9th century; it underwent a number of reconstructions, including likely after the 1105 fire of the neighborhood. The façade was constructed in 1553-1554 by Jacopo Sansovino, and completed after his death in 1570 by Alessandro Vittoria. The flattened classical temple façade was paid for by the scholar Tommaso Rangone, whose bronze seated portrait appears above the door. In his hands, the physician Rangone holds sarsaparilla and guaiacum, two plants which he used to treat syphilis and yellow fever. The reliefs also depict a map of the world as was known at his death. As befitting his broad-ranging interests in classic texts, the flanking inscriptions are in Latin , Greek and Hebrew text. The interior was also designed by Sansovino, and the church consecrated in 1580.
A Igreja de São João em Bragora é uma igreja de Veneza , templo católico situado no sestiere de Castello. Foi fundada em princípios do século VIII, supostamente por São Magno de Oderzo. No século seguinte, com o Doge Pietro III Candiano, foi reconstruída para albergar as supostas relíquias de São João Batista, a quem está dedicada, e de novo em 1178. Pietro Barbo, futuro Papa Paulo II, e Antonio Vivaldi foram ambos batizados nesta igreja. O aspeto actual deve-se à sua última renovação , que manteve a planta de basílica mas juntou uma fachada de tijolo num estilo gótico local tardio, e uma fachada dividida em três secções. No interior podem ver-se obras de Cima da Conegliano e Alvise Vivarini, bem como um teto sustentado com vigas de madeira. A origem do termo Bragora é incerta, podendo derivar do grego agorá , em referência ao campo que fica em frente à igreja, ou de termos do dialeto local bragora ou bragolare .

San Cassiano is a 14th-century Roman Catholic church located in the San Polo sestiere of the Italian city of Venice. A church has stood on the site since 726 with the present building dedicated to Saint Cassian of Imola being consecrated in 1376 and re-modelled during the 17th century. It has a plain exterior with several adjacent buildings overlapping it. Its interior however is richly decorated in a Baroque style. The church is located on the Campo San Cassiano, site of the world's first public opera house, west of the Rialto Bridge and is open to visitors Tuesday-Saturday mornings.The church houses three paintings by the Italian artist Tintoretto, including The Crucifixion of Christ painted in 1568 which the art critic John Ruskin described as, "the finest [example of a Crucifixion painting] in Europe". However, the most famous painting associated with the church is paradoxically one which is no longer there. The San Cassiano altarpiece, painted for this church by Antonello da Messina, was the first major example of oil painting in the city. It disappeared from the church in the 17th century and was cut into sections; the remaining known pieces are re-united in Vienna.

Collegiate Church of St. Bartholomew
The Collegiate Church of St. Bartholomew is an historical building in Liège, Belgium. Founded outside the city walls, it was built in coal sandstone, starting in the late 11th century and lasting until the late 12th century . It underwent, like most ancient religious buildings, modifications through the centuries. Nevertheless, the Meuse Romanesque—Ottonian architecture character of its architecture remained deeply rooted. The 18th century saw the addition of two more aisles, the opening of a neoclassical portal in the walls of the westwork, and the French Baroque redecoration of the interior. The interior of the western section has recently been restored back to the original style. The Collegiate Church of St. Bartholomew was one of the original seven collegiate churches of Liège, which also included the Churches of St. Peter, St. Paul, St. John, St. Denis, St. Martin, and the Holy Cross, and until the Liège Revolution of 1789 collectively comprised the "secondary clergy" in the First Estate of the Prince-bishopric of Liège. In 2006, the church emerged from heavy restoration work lasting seven years and involving 10,000 replaced stones and the restoration of the polychromy of the walls).
