The Church of St Demetrius is a medieval monastery church near the town of Boboshevo.

The Church of St. Donatus, whose construction began in the 9th century, is the most valuable pre-Romanesque monument of Croatia and one of the symbols of the city of Zadar.

The Saint Eloi church is located in Le Salvetat-Lauragais in Haute-Garonne. Erected in the center of the village, this former priory became a parish church and is surrounded by a cemetery. It was built in the sixteenth century, on foundations of a fifteenth century building. The church, with walls of shale rubble and pink bricks, has a nave closed by a choir with three sides. A bell tower is surmounted by a hexagonal turret, topped by a slate steeple.

The church of St Florentin was built at the request of Louis XI (1461-1483) so that the castle church would cease to be a parish church, for fear of disease. The roof of the bell tower was modified in the Renaissance style at the beginning of the 16th century, and major restoration work was carried out in 1876 when the wooden vault was replaced by a stone vault.

The convent and church of the Franciscan Fathers were built in 1551. Destroyed when Francis Drake plundered the town in 1589, the church was not rebuilt until 1774, in the Galician Baroque style. The church houses a Baroque altarpiece and sculptures of St. Francis and St. Bernard.
