The site of Ulaanbaatar, capital of Mongolia, was chosen because it lies in the center of 4 sacred mountains, some of which are home to a spirit or mythical animal who can protect and bless the city.

The 9 Sacri Monti of northern Italy (Catholic chapels), 15th century C.E. though some have histories dating back to pagan times

In Mongolia, “mountains and ovoos have been worshipped by the entire nation, peoples of a certain area, tribes, or families for many generations. Rituals linked to the worship of mountains and ovoos, and the recitation of sutras for mountain reverence, are closely connected with the nomadic culture, shamanism and Buddhism. Such rituals traditionally included sutras for inviting the gods of land and waters, bestowing offerings to such gods, asking repentance for sins, warding off natural disasters, maintaining horses and camels on the steppe, and fences for livestock.” -Mr Norov Urtnasan
