Donskoy Monastery
The monastery was named in honor of the Don Icon of the Mother of God, which, according to legend, helped to repel an enemy attack and permanently expel the Crimean Tatars from Moscow. A monastery was built on the place where a small field church stood.
The first cathedral was built, called the Small One. The temple was not made in the traditional style for monastic cathedrals, but later other church buildings in Moscow were erected in its likeness, for example, the Kazan Cathedral on Red Square.
During the Time of Troubles, the temple was looted, but during the reign of Mikhail Fedorovich it began to be restored...

Ioannovsky Bridge
This is the very first bridge in St. Petersburg, opened in 1703. At first, in its place there was a wooden floating structure crossing the Kronverk Strait.
Approximately to the same ancient times belongs the urban legend of the hare, which in this place escaped from the flood by jumping on the boot of Peter I. In 2003, the long-eared was immortalized by a small sculpture on a wooden protective pile installed to the left of the bridge.
This monument was loved by residents and guests of the city: the hare was named Arseniy and they throw coins at him to fulfill their wishes.

Orange Tree Garden
The Garden of Orange Trees is the name used in Rome to describe the Savello Park. It covers an area of about 7800 square meters and is located on the Aventine Hill.
The park offers a beautiful view of the city. The garden as it is today was designed in 1932 by Raffaele De Vico. It was built in order to provide public access to the view from the hillside, creating a new ‘belvedere’, which will be added to the existing viewing platforms in Rome from the Pincian Hill and the Janiculum.
The garden, whose name comes from the many bitter orange trees growing there, stretches on the territory of an ancient fortress built next to the Basilica of Santa Sabina by the Savelli family between 1285 and 1287, which, in turn, was built over an old castle built by the Crescentii in the tenth century. The garden borders the wall that once surrounded the Savelli Castle, and other remains of the castle can also still be seen.
