* The house in which Napoleon Bonaparte was born in 1769 is preserved as Casa Buonaparte, and his associations with the town are everywhere emphasized by street-names and statues.

A statue of Venus in a bikini was found in a cupboard in the southwest corner in Casa della Venere, others were found in the front hall.

The town that grew up around it was called " Casa Branca ", meaning " white house " in Portuguese.

The town was called الدار البيضاء ad-Dār al-Bayḍāʼ, the Arabic translation of the Spanish Casa Blanca, meaning " white house ".

Agustín de Iturbide, the general who helped secure Mexican independence from Spanish rule, was proclaimed Emperor Agustín I in 12 July 1822, but was overthrown by the Plan of Casa Mata the next year.

It was called Casa da Guiné, Casa da Guiné e Mina from 1482 to 1483 and Casa da Índia e da Guiné in 1499.

A month later, his body was moved to the Casa di Riposo per Musicisti, a rest home for retired musicians that Verdi had established.

At the Casa, the Miserere from Il trovatore was sung.

Henry was born in 1394 in Porto, probably when the royal couple was living in the city's old mint, now called Casa do Infante ( Prince's House ).

Ninian's major shrine was at Whithorn in Galloway, where he is associated with the Candida Casa ( Latin for ' White House ').

Tradition holds that Ninian was a Briton who had studied in Rome, that he established an episcopal see at the Candida Casa in Whithorn, that he named the see for Saint Martin of Tours, that he converted the southern Picts to Christianity, and that he is buried at Whithorn.

Ussher says that Ninian left Candida Casa for Cluayn-coner in Ireland, and eventually died in Ireland ; that his mother was a Spanish princess ; that his father wished to regain him after having assented to his training for an ecclesiastical state ; that a bell comes from heaven to call together his disciples ; that a wooden church was raised by him, with beams delivered by stags ; and that a harper with no experience at architecture was the builder of the church.

Casa Rocca Grande was built by Fra Pietro La Rocca, Prior of Santo Stefano, towards the end of the 16th century and formed part of a magnificent palace with double entrances in the style of the Grandmaster's Palace.

In consequence, a large service sector was established to serve the growing population, and in the first decades of the 20th century, Campinas could already boast of an opera house, theaters, banks, movie theaters, radio stations, a philharmonic orchestra, two newspapers ( Correio Popular and Diário do Povo ), a good public education system ( with the Escola Normal de Campinas and the Colégio Culto à Ciência ), and hospitals, such as the Santa Casa de Misericórdia ( a charity for poor people ) and the Casa de Saúde de Campinas ( for the Italian community, formely known as Circolo Italiani Uniti ), and the most important Brazilian research center in agricultural sciences, the Instituto Agronômico de Campinas, which was founded by Emperor Pedro II.

However, when Iturbide's policies supported the interests of Mexico's wealthy landowners through continued economic exploitation of the poor and working classes, Guerrero turned against him and came out in favor of a Republic with the Plan of Casa Mata.

In 1498, she spearheaded the creation of the Santa Casa da Misericórdia as confraternities with humanitarian purposes, especially the care of the poor, the sick, and abandoned children.
