Small 12th-century church, Slovenia

There is division as to the actual origins of the Holy Trinity Church in Hrastovlje. The first suggestion places it as having been built in the 12th century in Romanesque style, whilst the second suggests Early Venetian Renaissance from the 15th century.

The church stands behind a wall that the local population built to protect itself from Turkish attacks in the 16th century. Such defensive architectures are found throughout the territory settled by Slovenians and are called tabor.

Prambanan Temple Compounds

Built in the 10th century, this is the largest temple compound dedicated to Shiva in Indonesia. Rising above the centre of the last of these concentric squares are three temples decorated with reliefs illustrating the epic of the Ramayana, dedicated to the three great Hindu divinities (Shiva, Vishnu and Brahma) and three temples dedicated to the animals who serve them.
