When a terrible plague spread across Europe around the early 12th century causing death and desolation, the people of Bergamo vowed to dedicate a church to the Virgin Mary if she protected them from being infected.

True to their word, in 1137 Bergamo’s citizens started to built the Santa Maria Maggiore Basilica on the Piazza del Duomo, in the Upper Town.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—John McCrae

Saint Isaac's Cathedral or Isaakievskiy Sobor in Saint Petersburg is the largest orthodox chuch and the fourth largest cathedral in the world.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The church on St Isaac's Square was ordered by Tsar Alexander I, to replace an earlier Rinaldiesque structure, and was the fourth consecutive church standing at this place.
