]]>The Alamo
San Antonio is the home of Texas’s most famous historical site, the Alamo. A Spanish mission and fortress dating back to the 18th century, this structure was the host to one of the most pivotal battles in Texas’s fight to secede from Mexico in 1836, and can now be visited.
The Sixth Floor Museum at Dealey Plaza
One of Texas’s darkest memories was the assassination of President John F. Kennedy on November 22nd, 1963 in Dallas. Lee Harvey Oswald took aim at the president from the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, which has now been transformed into a memorial space and a museum about the infamous event.
San Jacinto Battleground
Located near Houston on Texas’s Gulf Coast is the San Jacinto Battleground, another key site in the Texas Revolution. In April 1836, the decisive battle that led to Texas gaining its independence from Mexico was held here. It is now a National Historic Monument.

]]>The German capital was witness to one of history’s most ruthless dictators, two World Wars, and a decades-long period of division that transformed the city’s character forever.
Here are four of the best things to see if you’re a history lover in the German capital.
Topography of Terror
This free museum in Berlin tells the story of the Nazi Regime’s period in power in Germany from 1933-1945. It details the Nazis’ rise to power, its barbaric methods, and its eventual defeat as a result of WWII. It’s a powerful, moving place to visit.

This church was destroyed as a result of Allied bombing late in World War II. Now, its half-destroyed shell stands as a testament to the horrors of war.
East Side Gallery
This mile-long stretch of what was once part of the Berlin Wall has been transformed into an artistic exhibition covered with murals about history, peace, and loathing. This shows how a historical place can transition into a story-telling venue.
Treptower Park Soviet War Memorial
Located east of Berlin’s center is the largest Soviet war memorial outside of the former USSR. This striking memorial was erected to honor the Soviet soldiers that worked together to defeat the Axis Powers in WWII.

]]>Athens, Greece
The home of modern civilization and philosophy is still buzzing today. Athens was thought to have been inhabited since sometime between the 7th and 11th century BC, and there are so many archaic buildings like the Acropolis, the Parthenon, and more, that show just how strong the Greeks were thousands of years later.
Plovdiv, Bulgaria
Although your mind probably doesn’t jump straight to Bulgaria when you think of ancient places, but in truth, Plovdiv, formally known as Philippopolis by the Greeks, was once a major city for the Romans, and later, the Ottomans. Plovdiv dates back at least 6,000 years, and is actually the second largest country in Bulgaria.
My first post from the European Capital of Culture – Plovdiv. Our your trough the European Capital of Culture begins at Hissar Kapia – the last defensive facility of the Eastern Gate of ancient Philippopolis. It was the main link between Philippopolis and Byzantium (later Constantinople). The ancient city of Plovdiv (aka Philippopolis), where many cultural monuments and museums are located, attracts tourists with its preserved antique style. When you pass through Hissar Kapia, you will see the ancient city. Visit the European Capital of Culture – Plovdiv! There are many places in the city and in the vicinity that you can explore and which you will surely like! 
Първият ми пост от Европейската столица на културата – град Пловдив. Нашата обиколка из Европейската столица на културата започва от Хисар капия – последното отбранително съоръжение на Източната порта на древния Филипопол. През нея се е осъществявала основната връзка между Филипопол и Византион (по-късно Константинопол). Старинния град Пловдив (или Филипопол), в който са разположени много паметници на културата и музеи, пленява туристите със запазения си старинен стил. Той се разкрива веднага след преминаването през Хисар капия. Посетите Европейската столица на културата – Пловдив! В града, а и в околността има мнго места, които може да разгледате и които със сигурност ще Ви харесат! #plovdiv2019 #ancientplovdiv #philippopolis #hisarkapia #tourismplace #europeancapitalofculture2019 #ancientculture #madeinbulgariaJerusalem, Israel
As a religious capital, Jerusalem is clear in its importance. But a lot of people forget it’s truly an ancient city with a lot of historical importance. Jerusalem is said to be anywhere from 4,000-5,000 years old, and really it’s a miracle it still stands today after being attacked so many times throughout history.
