Iglesia De San Esteban
The Iglesia de San Esteban (in Valencian: ''Església de Sant Esteve'') is a parish church located in Plaça de Sant Esteve in the city of Valencia, in the Valencian Community, Spain. History The ''Iglesia de San Esteban'' is among the oldest churches in Valencia; it is built, in the Gothic style, on the site of a mosque that stood in the city when it was under Muslim rule. It is a rather small church, not far from the Cathedral. According to one legend the site was that of an old Roman temple dedicated to Hercules. San Esteban was the notaries' church. St. Vincent Ferrer (1350–1419) and St. Luis Bertrán (1526–1581) were baptized here. "The Last Supper", along with "The Martyrdom of Saint Stephen" and other scenes from the saint's life, painted around 1562 by Juan de Juanes, formed the main altarpiece. They are now in the Museo del Prado. The main church is open on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation; the chapel is open daily for mass. References Roman Catholic chur ...

MacPherson, Singapore
MacPherson is a neighbourhood located within the district of Geylang in the Central Region of Singapore. Its location roughly corresponds to the identically titled subzone in the Geylang Planning Area and is approximately sandwiched between the neighbourhoods of Aljunied and Paya Lebar. MacPherson largely consists of various public housing estates centered on Circuit Road and an industrial area. The Pelton Canal runs through the neighbourhood, which separates a private housing estate off MacPherson Road, and the public housing estate along Circuit Road. Many residents in MacPherson are of the older generation, largely stemming from the fact that it was one of the first few major public housing projects to be enacted during the 1950s to 1970s. As a result, the majority of facilities in MacPherson are wheelchair and elderly-friendly. Nevertheless, there has been multiple built-to-order (BTO) public housing developments being constructed, such as MacPherson Spring and other devel ...

Saint Stephen's Church, Nijmegen
The Great Church or St. Stephen's Church colloquially called ''Steven's Church'', is the oldest and largest church in Nijmegen, the Netherlands. The church is built on a small hill, the Hundisburg. History The history of St. Stephen's dates back to the seventh century. The foundation of the church may be connected with the Christianization campaign of bishop Kunibert of Cologne in the seventh century. In 1247 Nijmegen came under the control of Count Otto II of Gelredome. For strategic reasons, St. Stephen's was moved from the Kelfkensbos to its current location on the Hundisburg. The present church was consecrated in 1273 by Albertus Magnus. Administratively, St. Stephen's fell under the authority of the chapter of the Basilica of the Holy Apostles, Cologne. The church has long been the only parish in the city. The building was expanded several times in the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries, including an impressive ambulatory.

Stephanopolis
Onoguris, renamed as Stephanopolis in the Byzantine period, was a town in Lazica (in present-day western Georgia, possibly located at modern village Khuntsi) recorded by Byzantine historian Agathias in his narration of the Lazic War between the Byzantine Empire and the Sasanian Empire. Its exact location is still under study. History Agathias derives the ancient name ' from a branch of the Hunnic Onoguri, who had been defeated in this place by the local Colchians and thus the town was named after them. According to Agathias, there was a church in the town dedicated to St Stephen, after whom the city was renamed. The Sasanian commander Mihr-Mihroe had fortified this town during his unsuccessful Siege of Archaeopolis. The Byzantines unsuccessfully besieged the fort in 554-555. Identification Kaukhchishvili (1963) links the name "Onoguris" with that of the Unagira Mountain and locate the town on halfway between Tsikhegoji-Archaeopolis in the west and Kutaisi in the east.
