Las week i've received these Unesco cards from Ukraine, both new in my collection, Struve Geodetic Arc and the Residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans. Oksana tagged me on a favorites tag and she asked if she could send me missing unesco cards. Of course i said yes :D and the cards are great!!

The most southernmost station of the Struve Geodetic Arc is located in Ukraine, in Staro-Nekrasivka.
This building is the Chernivtsi University, a former residence of Bukovinian and Dalmatian Metropolitans. It represents a masterful synergy of architectural styles built by Czech architect Josef Hlavka from 1864 to 1882. The property, an outstanding example of 19th-century historicist architecture, also includes a seminary and monastery and is dominated by the domed, cruciform Seminary Church with a garden and park. The complex expresses architectural and cultural influences from the Byzantine period onward and embodies the powerful presence of the Orthodox Church during Habsburg rule, reflecting the Austro-Hungarian Empire policy of religious tolerance. http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/1330
