Romantic piece of history in Martina Franca. Do not need ticket entrance One of Puglia's grandest buildings, the Palazzo Ducale of Martina Franca was built as a regal residence. It was placed over the remains of the Orsini Castle that had been built in the 1300s. Conceived of by the Caracciolo family as a type of royal palace to show their status, its original design was to have 365 rooms. Costs and political changes lessened that design, but it was nonetheless an impressive edifice, and still wows visitors today. The Palazzo Ducale is home to the city's town hall, but also a museum. It is one of the few palaces in Puglia that is still furnished with period pieces, making the salons more appealing and giving a sense of the times as you visit. The halls are frescoed and adorned with artwork. Suggestive and full of local history In a dedicated area you can find some exhibition or photo gallery according with the calendar. Free entry check opening time on the website. Really recommended if you go in the area. It is situated in down town really easy to access There are not elevator or lift but stairs only #palacemuseum #Free #apulia #historywalk

👣👣Take a historical walk and witness the unfolding of this history by visiting the Cuartel! 👣👣 🌟 Between two of the oldest streets in Oslob, Calle Aeternidad and Calle Aragones, stands the Oslob Cuartel. This well-preserved structure was built in 1860 but remained unfinished at the end of the Spanish occupation in 1898. 🇪🇸Similar to the Nuestra Señora de la Immaculada Conception, it was also made of coral stones. Cuartel is an unfinished structure built during the Spanish colonization made through the effort of El Gran Maestro Don Marcus Sabandal. It was initially planned to house the Spanish army and was supposed to take part in the first line of defense of the Spaniards during the attack of the Moros. The strong edifice of the quarters was made from the nineteen centimeters thick, coral stones of the collapsed bell tower of its nearby church Nuestra Senora dela Immaculada. 🗿Near the bay area is the statue of Father Julian Bermejo, also known by Cebuanos as El Parroco Capitan or El Padre Capitan. He was the one who spearheaded the building of the defense system against moro invaders, which included creating a chain of watchtowers along the bays of several towns in Southern Cebu, starting from Santander all the way to Carcar. 🔝🇵🇭Give yourself at least 2 hours to be able to see everything. If you are into history a must-see. #urbanexplorer #awesomepic #philippines #oslob #walkingtour #Tomove_to_fly #explore #historywalk

Yu Garden is believed to have been built in the Ming Dynasty (1559), more than 400 years ago. The exquisite layout, beautiful scenery, and artistic style of the garden architecture have made the garden one of the highlights of Shanghai. Pan Yunduan the owner of the garden, was the chief minister of Sichuan. In order to let his father enjoy his old age, Pan Yunduan began to gather stones, dig pools, and build pavilions, on his land in 1559. After more than twenty years of construction, Yu Garden has been built. The gardens suffered damage numerous times during the 19th century. During the First Opium War, the British army used the Huxinting Teahouse as a base of operations for several days in 1842. by the time Qing troops recovered the garden, the original structures had nearly all been destroyed. They were damaged again by the Japanese in 1942 before being repaired by Liangshun Han appointed by the Shanghai government from 1956 to 1961. They were opened to the public in 1961 and declared a national monument in 1982. Chinese garden located beside the City God Temple in the northeast of the Old City of Shanghai at Huangpu District, Shanghai.

The place has scenery view and you can enjoy the view in a cloudy day but unfortunately the sun was too hot. ☀️ The castle is three floors and it has many rooms and you can go up to the roof and take some Instagram photos, be careful especially if you have kids. 👀 Entrance fee is RM5 per adult, there are some limited parking space inside RM2/parking fees , and also behind of building there was lot of parking space for free, but connection bridge link to entrance was closed when we visit, we need to walk though main road only able to entrance. 👣✨ Recommended to come on weekdays to avoid crowded. 👍🏻 #awesomepic #mytripvlog #best_trip_by_trip #summervacation #historywalk #historymuseum #bestview

Very rocommended for those who likes history. It is very informative. You might spend up to 1.5 hour for the whole museum. It is quite big. RM3 for Malaysian adult with Mykad. There are so many exhibition rooms but most are filled with texts and drawing that draw by the prisoners. 👀 That said, the visit was still meaningful as the real prison rooms and special exhibits were giving quite some impacts. You can enter each cell and see their drawings and scribblings on the wall on the first and second floor. You can know more about the different types of punishments, uniforms and documents upstairs. There is a room where they hang the prisoners, but we are prohibited to take pictures. I would say it's an eye opening experience. 👍🏻✨ #celebratewithtrip #awesomepic #mytripvlog #summervacation #historywalk #best_trip_by_trip #malaccaagain #unforgettable

Embarked on a day trip to Auschwitz-Birkenau Memorial and Museum from Krawkow, Poland. It was insightful but extremely heartbreaking to learn about the tragic story of the Holocaust at the largest Nazi concentration camp from World War II. #krakow #auschwitz-Birkenau #holocaust #historywalk

Address: Clive Steps, King Charles St, London SW1A 2AQ, United Kingdom. Getting there: You can take tube and stop at St. James’ Park station. The museum is just 6 minutes walk away. Highlights: The Churchill War Rooms is a very fascinating museum for those interested in WWII and Winston Churchill. It is a neat historic spot right in the middle of downtown London. 😊 The bunker has been nicely upkept to preserve the history. There are audio guides offered. I do recommend the audio tour, as it nicely complements the walk through and you can move at your own pace here to enjoy the history. 😌 Opening hours: 9.30am to 6pm daily #meetlondon #london #visitlondon #historywalk

Ok, photos might be not that impressive, but the polished texture of these ancient stones under the palm of your hand can provide you an absolutely amazing experience! These stones have been producing slat for centuries, they are scorched under the harsh southern sun, and hand polished by tens of generations of local people. To be honest, I was not expecting that much from that site, but with a first touch we caught that sentimental poetic wave. So if you are interested in history, this attraction is definitely worth visiting! 🚕🚎🚌 We would recommend to take a car for several days immediately at Baimajin train station (you can use car sharing services), coz there are plenty of amazing attractions around Danzhou, like wild volcanic beaches, distant fishermans villages, etc etc, where it is not so easy to get to. 🍔🍟🥪 There are many small cafes right on the spot, where you can enjoy some fresh sea food. Of course, these places are super ascetic, with plastic chairs and so on, but local food can be really delicious here! 🏵 Of course, you can buy this local salt here, but to be honest, it doesn't seem to be produced with this ancient method. But of course, it is totally up to you in what to believe😉 To summ up, it can be some new experience that won't take too much time. Worth visiting if you are a history fan! #urbanexplorer #amazingplace #historywalk

Address: Jalan Lingkaran Dalam, Bukit Senyum, 80400 Johor Bahru, Johor Highlights: The museum is housed in the Dato' Jaafar Building, which was the official residence of Jaafar Muhammad, the first Chief Minister of Johor. The design of this building resembles the shape of the British Royal family buildings, namely "Hardwick Hall" and "Matlock Castle" in Derby or Derbyshire, in England. It is built three storeys high and has towers at each of the four corners of the building. 🧐 The museum showcases the history of Johor and Johor Sultanate. It also regularly holds temporary exhibitions about famous people of Johor. Although it is a relatively small museum, but I find it very interesting to learn about the history of Johor and life of the famous Sultane.🤓 Opening hours: 9.30am to 4.30pm daily (Closed on Friday) Entrance ticket: Free Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #createwithtrip #culturewalk #historywalk #johor

Address: 42, Jalan Ibrahim, Bandar Johor Bahru, 80000 Johor Bahru, Johor Highlights: The Johor Chinese Heritage Museum is all about the settlement and the history of Johor’s Chinese community. The museum mainly preserves the heritage and culture that the Chinese had brought along with them when they settled in Johor. The collections that are preserved by the museum include musical instruments, old coins, porcelain, photos, documents, and other artifacts. The museum is famous for its rich elements and collections. The exterior of the museum is simply and cuts off any decoration or ostentation. The building, however, is reconstructed in the colonial pattern.🤩 It was a great experience visiting this museum and I would definitely recommend you to go! 😆 Opening hours: 9am to 5pm daily (Closed on Monday) Entrance ticket: RM3 for adults, RM1 for senior citizens and children Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #createwithtrip #culturewalk #johor #heritage #historywalk

#createwithtrip #historywalk We had heard about Meteora monasteries being referred to as the miracle of Greece. Perched atop steep rocks that rise from the plains of Thessaly, we truly marvel at the high level of intellect these ancient Greeks must have had during the construction process several centuries ago. Today only six monasteries are active with a small number of resident monks or nuns, who watch over priceless artifacts and beautiful wall paintings housed within.

#createwithtrip #historywalk When in Athens, a visit to the Acropolis is a must. It is the most striking and complete ancient Greek monumental complex still existing in our times. We noticed that the buildings in this capital of Greece are not very high (most have a maximum of only 6 floors) and soon realised that is to ensure the Acropolis can be spotted easily from anywhere and everywhere in the city. Climbing to the Parthenon at the top of the ruins, we also managed a panoramic view of the capital city from our vantage point.

#createwithtrip #historywalk Standing in front of the theatre at Delphi that was built further up the hill from the Temple of Apollo, I gasped in awe at the spectacular view of the entire sanctuary below and the valley beyond. I could only imagine what an amazing spectacle it was to enjoy live plays, poetry readings and musical events during the various festivals that took place periodically in ancient times. There were 35 rows in all, some of which were already in ruins, that could accommodate around 5000 spectators.

What is behind That Dam is unknown, but there is fascinating folklore circulating among the inhabitants. They claim that the Naga, a seven-headed serpent, sits dormant beneath the stupa and will resurrect anytime Vientiane encounters a crisis. Some residents still visit there and leave flowers even now.

📍Cleopatra Beach Alanya Cleopatra is the most famous beach on Turkish Riviera. It owes its name to the last hellenistic Queen of Egypt. According to legends, Antony brought as a gift to his beloved Cleopatra the Mediterranean pearl-the luxurious city of Alanya. Every time she went from Egypt for camping, the Queen stopped here to swim in the mirror-clear lagoon and soak up the magnificent sandy carpet. Since then, the beach of Cleopatra irresistibly attracts those who expect a royal vacation. The Beach is clean and tidy with sun loungers to rent for a cheap price that you can keep all day and there are many drink and food options to choose from. There are lots of showers and toilets which is very convenient. The views from the beach are picturesque of the mountains, cable cars and castle and the sea water is warm and crystal clear. The most beautiful beach ever and a must if you visit Alanya! #Türkiye #alanya #cleopatra #Cleopatrabeach #beach #turquoisebluesea #medditeraneansea #historywalk #Beautiful_alanya #holiday_mood #holiday

Our National heritage. Historical site. Remind me of the famous warrior 'Laksamana Hang Tuah' during Malacca sultanate. Great spot for a break you can stop for a prayers or if you want you can go shopping for some delicacies and handcraft. Here you can learn about history of Hang Tuah and his legendary well. The 'Hang Tuah Well' is well maintained. The surrounding is clean and tidy. The water from the well is cold and clean. Bring your own water bottle so you can filled it up with water from the well. Highly recommended to visit! #spooktaculartrip #tripblazers #awesomepic ##historicalsite #historywalk #daytrip #besttrip2022
