Topol Pri Medvodah
Topol pri Medvodah () is a small settlement in the Municipality of Medvode in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia. It lies in the hills northwest of the Slovene capital Ljubljana and is a popular destination for short trips with locals. Name The name of the settlement was changed from ''(Sveta) Katarina nad Medvodami'' (literally, ' Saint Catherine above Medvode') to ''Topol'' (literally, ' poplar') in 1955. The name was changed on the basis of the 1948 Law on Names of Settlements and Designations of Squares, Streets, and Buildings as part of efforts by Slovenia's postwar communist government to remove religious elements from toponyms. However, its old name is still often used in the modified form ''Katarina nad Ljubljano'' (literally, '(Saint) Catherine above Ljubljana'). Church The local church is dedicated to Saint Catherine. It is an early Baroque church dating from the beginning of the 17th century. The chancel was painted by Ivan and Helena Vurnik in 1919 and 1920, and the ...

Katarina (Doctor Who)
Katarina is a fictional character played by Adrienne Hill in the long-running British science fiction on television, science fiction television series ''Doctor Who''. She is a companion (Doctor Who), companion of the First Doctor. Katarina appeared in the programme from November to December 1965, in five episodes over two stories. For 35 years, none of the episodes to feature her existed in the BBC Doctor Who missing episodes, archives until January 2004 when the second episode of the 12-part List of Doctor Who episodes (1963-1989), serial The Daleks' Master Plan was found. An inhabitant of ancient Troy, Katarina was very unused to modern concepts: she didn't even know what a key was. Katarina was conceived as a permanent companion but this was quickly re-evaluated by the writers, including producer John Wiles, as they realised the writing challenges that came with such an unworldly character. Unable to remove the character from upcoming scripts at short notice, they decided to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Katarina kyrka (''Church of Catherine'') is one of the major churches in central Stockholm, Sweden. The original building was constructed 1656–1695. It has been rebuilt twice after being destroyed by fires, the second time during the 1990s. The Katarina-Sofia borough is named after Katarina Parish and the neighbouring parish of Sofia. Construction of the church started during the reign of Charles X of Sweden, and the church is named after Princess Catherine, mother of the king, wife of John Casimir, Palsgrave of Pfalz-Zweibrücken and half-sister of Gustavus Adolphus. The original architect was Jean de la Vallée. The construction was severely delayed due to shortage of funds. In 1723 the church, together with half of the buildings in the parish, was completely destroyed in a major fire. Rebuilding started almost immediately, under supervision of Göran Josua Adelcrantz, the city architect, who designed a larger, octagonal tower. On May 17, 1990, the church burned down ...
