Bom Jesus do Monde is a Roman Catholic church located on a hill near the town of Braga, Portugal. The first chapel dates from 1373 and is dedicated to the Holy Cross. It was rebuilt in the 15th and 16th centuries.
The church dedicated to the Bom Jesus (Good Jesus) was built in 1629 but the construction of the present Bom Jesus do Monte began in 1722 under Archbishop of Braga, Rodrigo de Moura Telles. The present sanctuary was completed in 1725 including the zigzag Baroque stairway which climbs 116 meters (381 feet) and is dedicated to the Five Senses. The works on the first chapels, stairways and church continued in the 18th century. Three octagonal chapels were built in the 1760s. The present Neoclassic church was designed by Carlos Amarante and built between 1784 and 1834 when it was also consecrated. The old Baroque church which was built by architect Manuel Pinto Vilalobos around 1725 was demolished.
Church of St Elisabeth or also known as the Blue Church is a Roman Catholic church located in the Old Town of Bratislava, Slovakia. The church was built between 1907 and 1913 after the design of Hungarian architect Edmund Lechner from 1903/04 in Art Nouveau style. The Blue Church is dedicated to Elisabeth of Hungary, daughter of the Hungarian King Andrew II.
Because of the characteristic blue color of its facade, mosaics, majolicas and blue-glazed roof the church is commonly referred as the Blue Church. Above the main entrance is the mosaic of St Elisabeth who was born in the Bratislava Castle in 1207. Her portrait is also in the main altar.
