On the center of this card sent by Kamilla, there's the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was erected in the second half of the 14th century by Franciscan friars.
It is one of the most outstanding artistic and architectural achievements of sacral architecture in Poland. In the 14th century it was the highest hall church in Central Europe with the naves and aisles 26.8 metre (88 feet) high.
According to the Franciscan rule, the church does not have a tower but three rather small ave-bell towers instead. - in: http://www.visittorun.pl/386,l2.html

Ferenc sent a card with . St. Stephen’s Basilica, the largest church of Budapest. The building was finished in Neo-classicist style in 1905, following 54 years of planning. Similarly to the Parliament, it is 96 meters high, which makes it the highest building of Budapest.
This place of Catholic worship was named after St. Stephen, the first Christian king of Hungary, whose mummified body is buried in the undercroft. His intactly preserved right hand, the Holy Dexter, is kept as a relic in the Basilica’s main aisle. The Basilica is also a significant musical venue, where various concerts are held. - in: https://welovebudapest.com/en/venue/st-stephens-basilica-2/
