St. Martin Garrison Church, Dresden, Germany

The St. Martin garrison church of Dresden was the garrison church of Albertstadt, which had been created as a military town for much of the Saxon army. The church, built between 1893 and 1900, is divided into two separate church halls for the Protestant and Catholic denominations, of which since 1945 only the Catholic part is used in a sacred way.

One of the most beautiful churches I’ve seen in Europe. With so much details in the structure. Google says it is closed but the door was open and people were inside.

Such a beautiful church! A bit out of city center, but it worth visiting if you have time. The church was open to visit, even though in the Google said it was already close due to the time. It's quite small the visiting area inside, but it's very beautiful. When I visit the outside needed some maintenance, I hope they will take more care of it.

A very beautiful and serene church at a very beautiful location. The interior architecture is so mesmerizing. The church is open for visiting from 12:00 to 17:00. The historical church is very old but well maintained making it one masterpiece of art.

I can not believe this church is not more talked about. It is absolutely breathtaking. Has such a uniqueness to it that isn't seen often.

Church of St Donatus

The Church of St Donatus name refers to Donatus of Zadar, who began construction on this church in the 9th century and ended it on the northeastern part of the Roman forum. It is the largest Pre-Romanesque building in Croatia.

The beginning of the building of the church was placed to the second half of the 8th century, and it is supposed to have been completed in the 9th century. The Zadar bishop and diplomat Donat (8th and 9th centuries) is credited with the building of the church. He led the representations of the Dalmatian cities to Constantinople and Charles the Great, which is why this church bears slight resemblance to Charlemagne's court chapels, especially the one in Aachen, and also to the Basilica of San Vitale in Ravenna. It belongs to the Pre-Romanesque architectural period.

The circular church, formerly domed, is 27 m high and is characterised by simplicity and technical primitivism.
