The convent of St. Francis is the seat of the Friars Minor Conventual, who also manage the adjacent church of St. Francis or the Church of the Eucharistic Miracle. Its construction, as well as that of the adjacent church, dates back to the years 1250-1260 on an ancient Basilian monastery, dedicated to St. Legonziano, which was then managed by the Benedictines of San Giovanni in Venere. The Franciscan friars settled there again, after having been expelled in 1799, at the beginning of the 19th century. With the advent of the Napoleonic laws in 1809, the monks were forced to leave the church and convent, which passed to the State and then to the municipality. In 1997, the entire complex was returned to the Friars Minor Conventual.

According to tradition, the convent of San Lucchese originated with the visit of St. Francis to Valdelsa in 1222 and his meeting with Luchese of Caggiano. The apsidal part of the chapels was built around the middle of the 14th century, the portico in front of the basilica in the 17th century, and then transformations and restructuring for the restoration, especially of the facade and the roof (due to landslides, earthquakes and the 1943 cannonading), brought the complex back to its original state.

Convento do Carmo de Lisboa is a former convent of the Carmelite order of the Ancient Observance. Its current state of ruin bears witness to the 1755 earthquake that destroyed most of Lisbon.

Curchi Monastery is one of the most important monuments of Bessarabian architecture. It is an architectural ensemble dating mostly from the 18th and 19th centuries. It consists of five churches, two buildings with cells, a stable, several auxiliary rooms, an orchard, a hermitage and an "archondaric" (guest wing). The Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God, built in 1775, is in neo-Byzantine style, and the Church of St. Nicholas (1808 - 1810) is built in the style of classicism with baroque elements. It is surrounded by a high stone wall. During the Soviet period, the monastery was transformed into a psychiatric hospital.

Dajbabe Monastery is an Orthodox monastery erected in 1897 on the vision of a shepherd. The founder was Reverend Simeon Popovic (1854-1941). Until his death he worked on painting the interior of the church.

The monastery of Davidovica dates back to the 13th century (1281 or 1282). Only the church of the monastery, dedicated to the feast of Epiphany, has survived to the present day. It was built on the foundations of a Byzantine basilica from the 6th century, as evidenced by archaeological research which revealed the foundations of the basilica and the remains of a necropolis from the Byzantine period. The monastery itself was destroyed and abandoned at the end of the 17th century and remained in ruins until 1998 when the monastery church was renovated.

The monastery Dečani is a Serbian Orthodox monastery whose church, a cathedral, is the largest medieval church in the Balkans and preserves an important ensemble of Byzantine frescoes. The monastery was founded by King Stefan Dečanski in 1327. Upon his death in 1331, the king was buried there; thus, Dečani became a popular place of pilgrimage. The cathedral preserves a collection of about 1,000 frescoes, representing the major themes of the New Testament, as well as portraits of the Serbian royal family. In 2004, the Visoki Monastery Dečani was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List and in 2006 it was placed on the list of World Heritage in Danger.

Dionysiou Monastery is one of the 20 self-governing Eastern Orthodox monasteries in Mount Athos. It is ranked fifth in the Athonite, the hierarchical order of the monasteries on the Athos Peninsula.

The monastery was raided by the Ottomans and abandoned in the 17th century. During the 18th century, it operated as a branch of the neighbouring Kuveždin monastery. The monastery church was reconstructed during this century. It is one of the 16 surviving Orthodox monasteries built between the 15th and 18th centuries on the Fruška Gora mountain in Serbia (also known as the Serbian Mount Athos).

The monastery of Doberan is a former Cistercian abbey founded in 1171. The church of its monastery is Doberan Cathedral. Until the Reformation, the monastery had extensive properties and was the burial place of the Principality of Mecklenburg. After surviving relatively unscathed from secularisation, the monastery was looted and damaged in 1637 during the Thirty Years' War, and the monastery church was then used as a warehouse. During the French occupation by Napoleon (1806-1813), the remaining buildings suffered further damage and the monastery church was again used as a warehouse. Between 1883 and 1896, the church was restored and the interior design was unified in neo-gothic forms while retaining most of the medieval furniture. Restoration began in 1962 and continued inside the church in 1976.
