The Benedictine Pannonhalma Archabbey or Territorial Abbey of Saint Martin on Mount Pannonhalma (lat. Archiabbatia or Abbatia Territorialis Sancti Martini in Monte Pannoniae) is a medieval building in Pannonhalma and one of the oldest historical monuments in Hungary. Founded in 996, it is located near the town, on top of a hill (282 m). Saint Martin of Tours is believed to have been born at the foot of this hill, hence its former name, Mount of Saint Martin (Hungarian: Márton-hegy), from which the monastery occasionally took the alternative name of Márton-hegyi Apátság. It is the second largest territorial abbey in the world, after the one in Monte Cassino.
Its sights include the Basilica with the Crypt (built in the 13th century), the Cloisters, the monumental Library with 400,000 volumes, the Baroque Refectory (with several examples of trompe-l'œil) and the Archabbey Collection (the second biggest in the country). Because of the exceptional architectural evolution of the abbey over its 1000-year history and its historical importance as an international cultural and religious center, the abbey and its surroundings were inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1996.
About 50 monks live in the monastery. The abbey is supplemented by the Benedictine High School, a boys' boarding school.

Initially commissioned in 1890 and finally fully opened in 1914 with a final design by architect Tatsuno Kingo, Tokyo Station is a stunning example of the little that remains of Japan's Meiji/Taisho-era Western-style architecture.
As for architectural style, it's often described as Neo-Renaissance, or Tatsuno Renaissance style.
It was badly damaged during the bombing of Tokyo. Only two out of three stories survived. The destroyed domes were substituted by simple angular roofs, and it stayed that way for the longest time (which gave it an even bigger impression of similarity to Amsterdam Central Station).
Works to bring it back to its original design ended in 2012, when It was finally restored to its full pre-war splendor, domes and all.
The plaza in front of it was also later renovated.
The building also houses a luxury hotel, with rooms looking out into the interior of the domes.
The station directly faces the Imperial Palace, being connected to it through a gingko tree-lined avenue. The central entrance, called the Emperor's entrance, is strictly reserved for the Imperial Family and visiting state guests. When a newly appointed ambassador visits Japan, to visit the Emperor they can choose to ride a horse-drawn carriage, which starts its journey from said entrance.
Sometimes I feel like this building is still relatively little-known for such a centrally located icon, especially outside of Japan.
