* [[Sirkip and Taizang Towers (Stupas)]] - located east of Turpan in Xinjiang, China [https://www.farwestchina.com/travel/xinjiang-buddhist-stupas/]
* [[YES24 Live Hall]] in Seoul, South Korea. It's apparently one of the country's premier pop music venues, and already has ''numerous'' mentions in articles on performing acts, concert tours, albums, etc. (Additionally, mentions of '''AX-Korea''' — which also appear in numerous articles — refer to the same venue by its former name.) Official site (in Korean): [https://yes24livehall.com/] The introduction page (as translated by Google Translate) actually calls it "Korea's only professional concert venue to worry about.", which I'm guessing is really something more similar to "Korea's only professional concert venue of note."

*[[Dromagh Castle]] – [[Galway, Ireland]], castle ruins in Galway and the oldest castle in Duhallow, O'Keefe Clan Estate [[http://okeeffeclans.com/dromaghcastle.html]], official registry by NUI Galway[[http://landedestates.nuigalway.ie/LandedEstates/jsp/property-show.jsp?id=2780]]. The present standing walls of Dromagh Castle which are locally referred to as “The Castle”, were the surrounding walls of the Courtyard. This Courtyard measured forty four yards by thirty six. The walls are about thirty feet high from the base of the surrounding Moat. They are turreted at the east and west sides and at each of the four corners stands a circular tower. The tower at the North-eastern corner was five storey and about seventy feet high. The remaining were three storeyed and about forty feet high. The internal diameter of each tower is fifteen feet three inches. The walls are five feet five inches inches in thickness. The gateways are on the east and west sides and are nine feet high by eighteen feet wide. Each gateway had double gates and was of heavy strongly riveted steel plates. In the centre of the courtyard was the Castle proper. Between the Castle and the surrounding wall was a moat and there was a moat also outside the walls. Both moats could have been about one hundred years old at that time. There was an avenue or roadway leading to the Castle from the south-east that is from the direction of the present Catholic Church and the local tradition has it that fierce fighting took place on this road. However, the Cromwellians drove the O Keeffe men back and charging on horseback through the moat captured the Castle. There is a tradition also that fifteen people were executed after they had surrendered but many escaped through an underground tunnel which had its exit in the farm now owned by William Hartnett. After 1651 the Castle was owned by the Leader Family and was burned by the local Volunteers during the war of Independence 1920-21.
