On my must see list. Have you been?

Mont Saint-Michel, situated on the Normandy coast, is a striking blend of architecture and history. Dating back to the 8th century, this fortified island is more than just a religious site—it's a living medieval town. Accessible by a causeway that disappears during high tide, the abbey perched atop the rock formation offers awe-inspiring views of the English Channel. Below, the winding streets reveal the remnants of a bygone era, where monks once roamed. Contemplating this unique intersection of nature and human construction sparks curiosity about the island's past as both a pilgrimage destination and a military stronghold.

Is Italy on your mind? Looking for another jewel to discover? How about Sermoneta? It’s famous for its well-preserved historical architecture, making it one of the most beautiful villages in Italy. is a hill town in the province of Latina, central Italy. It is a walled hill town, with a 13th-century Romanesque church, the Collegiate Church of Santa Maria Assunta and a massive castle, built by the Annibaldi family then purchased and expanded by Caetani family in the 13th century. Quaint and charming. It’s known worldwide for Ninfa — dubbed “most romantic garden in the world”.

The Ninfa garden is as enchanting as it gets: nature’s cadence creates the perfect harmony of plants and flowers of every shape, size, and color. In order to avoid any type of contamination to the ecosystem, the garden is only open a few weekends per year, so make sure to plan ahead. With its 1300 species of plants, it’s an absolute marvel.

Here’s David! Waiting for you to admire him in person! When would you like to go?

On September, 1504 The 17-foot-tall, 12,000-pound marble masterpiece by Michelangelo Buonarroti, was unveiled to the public in Florence. “David” was carved from a single block of white Italian Carrara marble that was rejected by other artists for being flawed.

A committee of artists decided on the statue’s location, outside Florence’s town hall. It reportedly took 40 men 4 days to move the massive statue half a mile from Michelangelo’s studio to the piazza. In 1873, after almost 400 years, “David” was moved indoors to the Gallery of the Academy of Florence.

The castle is said to be the inspiration for Disney's “Cinderella” castle.
It is a 19th-century historicist palace on a rugged hill of the foothills of the Alps in the very south of Germany, just north of Austria. Located in the Swabia region of Bavaria. The castle stands above the narrow gorge of the Pöllat stream. King Ludwig II of Bavaria felt the need to escape from the constraints he saw himself exposed to in Munich, and commissioned this palace. Ludwig chose to pay for the palace out of his personal fortune. Construction began in 1869 but was never completed. The castle was intended to serve as a private residence for the king but he died in 1886, and it was opened to the public shortly after his death.
It is truly magical.

Egypt never ceases to amaze me! Been there, will go again! If you haven’t, when will it be?

Mummified Falcon from 1,200 BC, showcased at the British Museum.

In the eyes of the Ancient Egyptians, animals occupied a position of utmost reverence. Whether domestic companions or untamed creatures, animals played an immensely significant role in Egyptian culture. From mummified felines to majestic horses pulling chariots, their presence was woven deeply into the fabric of society.
Ancient Egypt's profound historical significance is encapsulated by a multitude of symbols. This civilization's legacy encompasses the iconic pyramids, the enigmatic Sphinx, the intricate hieroglyphics, the revered pharaohs, and their distinctive beliefs surrounding the afterlife.

Amazing!

This 18th century sculpture called Disillusion, which includes an intricate net carved from a single block of marble, was created by Francesco Queirolo without assistance, since no apprentice would touch it for fear of the delicate net crumbling in their hands. It took him seven years. Amazing
