Buildings in History and Historical Cities of the World

It seems that every city in the world has an historical building that makes for a unique travel destination.  Some may be credited to the founders of a particular spot, while others are more of an ancient or mythical destination.   Whatever the case may be, there certainly are many historical sites to explore around the world.  We all have a history. Let us share and explore that history and never forget where we came from.

Ancient Rome offers you a wide range of excitement, adventure, and enjoyment, while there are tourist spots in America that are just as hilarious as they are sobering. 

Talking about old buildings, St. Augustine is home to the Gonzalez-Alvarez House, dating back to 1727, known as the "Oldest House Complex", a National Historic Landmark. St. Augustine has a wealth of other historic and architecturally interesting structures.

Paris is rated very high amongst fashion houses and boasts of a fast and exciting nightlife. Estimates suggest that Paris caters to more than thirty million visitors annually. Though most would take one trip to the Eiffel tower, the city boasts of many other archaic and architectural wonders that can keep visitors mesmerized for life.

I find it a bit hard to believe but Paris has opened their sewers to the public as part of their tourism attraction ever since 1867! It was so popular by the end of the 19th century that small mechanical locomotives were outfitted to cater for the growing number of tourists. It was later replaced by boats and trolleys. It was believed that the Paris sewer trolleys gave way to the idea of the subway system now common everywhere in the world.

When a person travels to Asia a different world opens up for exploration. The sites and sound of this continent can enlighten and educated individuals. There are many activities to accomplish and a person would enjoy their stay.

For the traveler with an interest in American History, there can be few destinations more enriching than historic Downtown Boston.  An easy stroll through the city, along a well marked route known as the Freedom Trail, lead visitors to and through sixteen historic sites, including the Boston Common and Public Gardens the Massachusetts State House, Paul Revere's house, the Old North Church, Old Ironsides, Faneuil Hall, and the Bunker Hill Monument.

The Empire State Building was the tallest in the world for 41 years before it was surpassed by the North Tower of the World Trade Center. After the September 11 attacks, the Empire State Building is once again the tallest building in New York City and the second highest building in the United States--only Chicago's Sears Tower is taller.



We are so lucky to have so many buildings in our history. Do you bear a passion for history? Are you interested in ancient architecture and temples? Do age-long and legendary activities beckon you? If so, then you must definitely explore the ancient lands, at least once in your lifetime.
