replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @ramblRramblR A1: The Hermitage Museum, Catherine the Great's palace in St Petersburg. It is simply magnificent, full of beautiful and valuable artefacts. #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @ramblRramblR Not much : a few weapons, etc. It's mostly ruins. There's also a modern castle (picture) but we didn't walk in. #TRLT

A2: About 10 miles from us lie the ruins of @BerkoCastle, where the Anglo-Saxons surrendered to William the Conqueror in 1066. Thomas Beckett owned (and lost) it, Geoffrey Chaucer was Clerk of Works here and it features in Graham Greene's novel Doctor Crombie @LindaPeters64 #TRLT

A2: Fort Mason is standing strong in case we ever need to blow up the Golden Gate Bridge. Also (and more significantly), during WWII, two-thirds of all U.S. troops sent to the Pacific passed through this port #TRLT #SanFrancisco

A2: The impressive Peles Castle was the first in Europe to have electricity. It even has an elevator and a central vacuum system - impressive for a place built in the late 1800s. #TRLT

replying to @HeidiSiefkas @HeidiSiefkas @ramblRramblR A1: Does mausoleum count? I know it's a tourist cliche but I had a love affair with all things India for such a long time before I actually went that seeing the Taj Mahal was such moving moment #TRLT

A2 The best castles, palaces and forts close to home is Casa Loma. A great spot for a tour and even better for Afternoon Tea! https://t.co/1AYyp6h7eM @SeeTorontoNow @CasaLomaToronto #TRLT @LindaPeters64 @heidiSiefkas

A2 I'm fascinated by the Palace of Khudayar Khan in Kokand. It's a fraction of its original size - most of it was destroyed by the Soviets - but what's left is dazzling. #TRLT

A2 #TRLT Fort Clatsop is part of @LewisClarkNPS. A reproduction of the original fort is behind this welcome center. When Lewis & Clark were exploring the Pacific NW, they stayed at the original fort in the winter of 1804-05. Interesting place to see if you get this way.
