Big Unesco RR - Group 41 II

These are the other 4 cards i've received from the Big Unesco RR. They're from Russia, Poland, Germany and Brazil. I already had cards from these sites but these are different views.

Polina "poncha" sent me this card with the Assumption Cathedral, one of the structures of the Trinity Lavra of St. Sergius, the most important Russian monastery and the spiritual centre of the Russian Orthodox Church. The monastery is situated in the town of Sergiyev Posad. Architectural Ensemble of the Trinity Sergius Lavra in Sergiev Posad is on the Unesco WHS list since 1993.

It took 26 years to construct the six-pillared Assumption Cathedral, which was commissioned by Ivan the Terrible in 1559. The cathedral is much larger than its model and namesake in the Moscow Kremlin.
Near the north-western corner of the Assumption Cathedral there is a small structure with a hip roof. It is the burial-vault of Tsar Boris Godunov, his wife Maria, son Feodor and daughter Xenia.

Not so long ago i've received an official card with Krakow's Barbican and for this RR, "bodexs" sent me Warsaw's Barbican. This classical Gothic structure separates the Old Town district from the New Town.

In 1980 the Historic Town of Warsaw was classified as World Heritage Site and the Barbican is a major highlight in this part of the city.

The semi-circular Warsaw Barbican served as a fortified outpost for many years since being built in the mid-16th century.

Speyer is a city of Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. Founded by the Romans, it is one of Germany's oldest cities.
Speyer is dominated by the Speyer Cathedral, which was added, in 1981, to the UNESCO World Heritage List of culturally important sites as "a major monument of Romanesque art in the German Empire".

The cards was sent by Kerstin "schoolbag".

Luciano sent me my 5th Ouro Preto card. Ouro Preto a city in the state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, a former colonial mining town, designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1980, because of its outstanding Baroque architecture.
Ouro Preto is a major tourist destination, for its well-preserved colonial appearance with old buildings and cobblestone streets.
