I think it's safe to say I want to visit every one of these places!
Rather unknown but really special places on earth 3
One of the most interesting sites in Fez, Morocco is the Leather Souq and the oldest leather tannery in the world. The tannery dates back at least nine centuries. You know when you're getting close to the tanneries because of the strong putrid smell emanating above the stone walls
Fort de Saint John de Baptist, Berlenga Island, Portugal.
The “Piano Bridge” in Shishui Village, Taitaishun County, Zhejiang Province. It is named so because the bridge resembles piano keys.
Bom Jesus do Monte is a Portuguese sanctuary in Tenões, outside the city of Braga, in northern Portugal. Its name means Good Jesus of the Mount.
Enter Salina Turda - a salt mine in Transylvania, Romania. It is now a tourist attraction, dating back to the 17th century the mine now even has a carousel ride and amphitheater deep in the cavern!
The Royal Library of Alexandria or Ancient Library of Alexandria, in Alexandria, Egypt, was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world. Here you can see the new one, completed in 2002, which is inspired by the original one.
Dinant, a Walloon city and municipality located on the River Meuse in the Belgian province of Namur, Belgium. It is around 90 km south-east of Brussels.
This is Sigiriya, located in the central Matale District of the Central Province, Sri Lanka. The name of this place is derived from this structure —Sīhāgiri, the Lion Rock.
This is Sigiriya from above - today it is a UNESCO listed World Heritage Site and one of the best preserved examples of ancient urban planning.
Chefchaouen or Chaouen; Northwest Morocco. The city is noted for its buildings, painted in different shades of blue. Chefchaouen was painted blue by the Jewish refugees who lived there during the 1930's.
The Kansas City Public Library, a public system headquartered in the Central Library in Kansas City, Missouri.
The Craig Goch Dam, often called the Top dam, is a masonry dam in the Elan Valley of Wales.
The West Side of Taihang Mountain, Shanxi Province, China. Who's going with me?
If there’s one thing that you must do while you’re in Iceland, that’s taking a dip in the Blue Lagoon! There's even an outdoor Lagoon bar - have a drink there, it's not that expensive!
The Swallow's Nest is a decorative castle located between Yalta and Alupka on the Crimean peninsula, Southern Ukraine. You should also visit the Foros Church!
The Jardins suspendus de Marqueyssac ar located in the Dordogne department of South West France (they can be found between Beynac and La Roque-Gageac on the Dordogne river). From July to the end of August the gardens of Marqueyssac are open every Thursday evening and lit by candlelight, 2000 candles and a hundred other light sources, to highlight the beauty of the cliffs and the park. In different areas of the park musiciens play. A truly magical evening
The Glass Beach is a beach in MacKerricher State Park near Fort Bragg, California. I am really fascinated with the fact that the ocean could turn a bunch of garbage into something so beautiful.
