Imotski; Italian: Imoschi; Latin: Emotha, later Imota) is a small town on the northern side of the Biokovo massif in the Dalmatian Hinterland of southern Croatia, near the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina. Imotski, like the surrounding inland Dalmatia, has a generally mild Mediterranean climate which makes it a popular tourist destination.
Geography
The town is located close to the border with Bosnia and Herzegovina, 10 km away from Posušje and 18 km from Grude. It is located 29 km away from the coast (Baška Voda). The nearest coastal town is Makarska, on the other side of the Biokovo massif.
The town is located on the crossroad of D60 and D76 state roads and 20 km from the Sveti Ilija Tunnel. The A1 motorway is accessed at the Zagvozd Interchange, next to the D76 expressway.
Imotski is known for its medieval fortress on the rocks of Blue Lake. Another phenomenon is the Red Lake which looks like an eye in the scenery. Both lakes are said to be connected with underground channels to the Adriatic Sea.

Mekinje in older sources also Mekine, German: Münkendorf, Minkendorf is a settlement at the confluence of the Kamnik Bistrica and Nevljica rivers in the Municipality of Kamnik in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It is considered a suburb of the town of Kamnik.
Name
Mekinje was attested in written sources in 1143–47 as Minkendorf (and as Minchendor(f) in 1209 and Menkendorf in 1288). The name is probably based on the Slavic personal name *Mękyna, meaning 'Mękyna's village' and referring to an early inhabitant of the place. It is less likely that the name is based on the common noun *mękyn'i 'bran; chaff, husks; soft straw'. The settlement was known as Münkendorf or Minkendorf in German in the past.
Convent
Ursuline convent on the outskirts of Mekinje
Mekinje is the location of a large former Ursuline convent. The convent with its church dedicated to the Virgin Mary was founded in 1300 by Siegfried of Gallenberg and granted to the Poor Clares. The original monastery was destroyed in 1491 during Ottoman raids and was rebuilt soon after. It was totally rebuilt again in the late 17th century (1682), but by the end of the 18th century it was dissolved by Emperor Joseph II. From 1902 to 1945[verification needed] it was administered by the Ursuline Order from Ljubljana, but then nationalized after the Second World War and only returned to the order in 1990. From 1972 to 2000 it served as a storage unit for the National and University Library of Slovenia and the convent still has a rich library of its own.[5] In September 2016, the Ursulines donated the convent to the Municipality of Kamnik. In December 2021, the municipality set up a permanent exhibition on the life and work of the Ursulines there.

The Franciscan friary and church is a large complex belonging to the Order of the Friars Minor. It consists of a friary, a church, a library, and a pharmacy. It is situated at the Placa, the main street of Dubrovnik, Croatia.
The earliest friary was built in the 13th century outside the walls. A new friary inside the walls and close to the Pile Gate, was built in 1317, but its construction took centuries. Parts of the complex were rebuilt several times.
The church was destroyed by the earthquake of 1667. Amongst the losses was a statue by Pietro di Martino da Milano. The only element remaining is the decorated portal overlooking the beginning of the Placa, the main street of Dubrovnik. It was sculpted in 1498 in Gothic style by the workshop of the brothers Leonard and Petar Petroviċ. The almost life-sized Pietà in the central lunette, decorated with flamboyant leaves, is flanked by the figures of St. Jerome (holding a model of the pre-earthquake church) and St. John the Baptist. On top of the lunette stands the figure of the Father Creator. The interior of the church was reconstructed in Baroque style with a single nave. The marble pulpit survived the earthquake of 1667. The main altar with the statue of the resurrected Christ between four twisted marble columns was created by the sculptor Celia from Ancona in 1713. The five side altars were sculpted by the Venetian Giuseppe Sardi between 1684 and 1696. The decorations on the altar of St. Francis were painted in 1888 by the painter Celestin Medovic. The poet Ivan Gundulić is buried in this church.
The friary was built in 1360 in late Romanesque style by the master Mihoje Brajkov of Bar. The friary contains two cloisters. The upper cloister was built in Renaissance style, with arches and semicircular vaults. The lower cloister was built in Romanesque-Gothic style with arches, 120 columns and 12 massive pilasters and a promenade. The capitals on the colonnade of double ornamented hexaphoras are all different showing various geometric, plant-, human- and animal-like figures.
The library (built in the 17th century) contains over 20,000 books, among them 1200 valuable old manuscripts, 137 incunables, seven books with old church corals, and the inventory of the old Friars Minor Pharmacy from 1317. The museum library also contains an exhibition of liturgical artifacts, including a 15th-century silver-gilt cross and silver thurible, and an 18th-century crucifix from Jerusalem and some paintings of old masters, such as "Ecce Homo" by Francesco Raibolini, also known as Francesco Francia (15th century) and a 14th-century head relic of St Ursula.
The pharmacy dates from 1317 and is the oldest still-functioning pharmacy in Europe and the third oldest in the world.
The library and the bell tower were damaged during the 1991 war.

Samostan u Tomislavgradu je franjevački samostan u Mostarsko-duvanjskoj biskupiji , u Tomislavgradu , Bosna i Hercegovina . Proglašena je nacionalnim spomenikom Bosne i Hercegovine na sjednici održanoj u Sarajevu 11. listopada 2017. godine. Odluku je donijelo Povjerenstvo u sastavu: Amir Pašić, Goran Milojević (predsjedavajući), Radoje Vidović. Nacionalni spomenik čine: crkva sv. Nikole Tavelića i zapadno krilo franjevačkog samostana.
Povijest
Za gradnju crkve prikupljeno je 300.000 dinara, a kralj Aleksandar je poslao prilog od 60.000 dinara. Građena je u razdoblju od 1924. godine, a građevinski je dovršena 1931. godine, kada je pokrivena bakrenim krovom. U potpunosti je dovršena 1940. godine.
Samostan je građen od 1930. do 1940. godine.
Popravci i restauratorski radovi samostana i crkve, koji su 1944. godine teško stradali od eksplozija avionskih bombi, popravljani su u dugotrajnoj obnovi nakon završetka Drugog svjetskog rata, sve do 1987. godine.
Nakon 2000. godine, prema projektu arhitekta Davorina Smoljana (projektna tvrtka Arhitek doo Mostar), samostanu su dograđena tri krila: južno, istočno i sjeverno, koja zajedno sa starom samostanskom zgradom (koja de facto postaje zapadno krilo) ), tvore kvadratno-prstenasti oblik s unutarnjim klaustrom-atrijem.
Opis
Samostan i crkva izgrađeni su prema projektu istaknutog hrvatskog arhitekta s početka 20. stoljeća Stjepana Podhorskog, koji je istraživanjem i primjenom morfologije predromaničkih crkava stvorio novi stil crkvene arhitekture temeljen na elementi bizantske i starohrvatske arhitekture. Crkva u Tomislavgradu projektirana je kao trobrodna bazilika uzdužne osnove s kupolom nad latinskim križem, prezbiterijem s apsidom na istočnoj strani i asimetrično postavljenim crkvenim tornjem na sjeveroistočnom uglu crkve. Dimenzije crkve su 39,70 m, a širina 18,20 m.
Pri oblikovanju vanjskog volumena crkvene građevine Podhorsky primjenjuje romanički princip stupnjevanja volumena, gradirajući volumen od manjeg prema većem. U vanjskom oblikovanju pročelja korišteni su dekorativni romanički elementi.
Toranj crkve ima kvadratni tlocrt, dimenzija 5,75 x 5,75 metara, asimetrično je postavljen na sjeveroistočnom uglu crkve. Kula, građena od pravilnog tesanog kamena, ima visinu od oko 27 metara (mjereno do krovnog vijenca kule). U vertikalnom smislu podijeljena je na tri dijela horizontalnim profiliranim vijencima.
