A2. Berati is one of the oldest cities in Albania and the view of classical 18th-century white houses climbing up the hillside is etched into the mind of everyone who visits! #TRLT

A2: One of the most memorable historic buildings that I've visited on The Road Less Travelled is the Holy Cross Curch & former Mission in Santa Cruz, California; a first site for ecclesiastical conversion of the Amah Mutsun people, the original inhabitants of the region.

A2: It's already featured this evening, but the Registan in Samarkand has got to be my candidate.
Truly spectacular.

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel I did love Hagia Sophia as well. Was able to go inside even though it was closed to the public when I was on #FSJet staff with @FourSeasons #TRLT https://t.co/GTPsbBnvkU

A2. In a city of such religious and historic poignancy, Jerusalem’s Old City sits like the jewel in the crown and Temple Mount is its diamond. Venerated as one of the holiest sites in the world, this striking compound was built around AD 685. #TRLT

A2 #TRLT @BradtGuides its modern - and already is a historical building - the endlessly impressive Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque in Muscat #Oman - superlative workmanship - and very cohesive design - a masterpiece.

A1 Nearly everyone who visits Samarkand comes here for the historic monuments. There are dozens of them within the @UNESCO World Heritage Site. #TRLT

Palenque in Mexico is one of the most beautiful sites I've visited. Not as well known as Chichen Itza but well worth visiting #trlt A2

I'll have to go with Borobudur, mostly because it was at sunrise on my birthday. #trlt https://t.co/irMdeEGMqW

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @BradtGuides A2) Castillo San Felipe del Morro in San Juan Puerto Rico impressed me by not only its size but that it was built between the 16th & 18th centuries and was in use well into the 20th century. #TRLT

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @BradtGuides A2. I adore the Reichstag, though I’ve yet to take a good picture of it. It’s not quite my favourite Parliament building, but Bern’s Bundeshaus and Canberra’s New Parliament don’t seem as historic. #TRLT

A2 The most impressive monument I've visited - and one I return to time and again - is the Shah-i Zinda in Samarkand. The tiles are completely mesmerising. #TRLT

A2: The Derzhprom in Kharkiv, Ukraine 🇺🇦 (слава!) is one of the first Soviet Constructivist skyscrapers. #trlt https://t.co/FM7HeRWDSt

A3. Numberless historical associations bind Westminster Abbey to the spirit of Britain. Every monarch since William the Conqueror has been crowned here and scores of the nation’s most revered people are buried on its grounds. #TRLT

A3 One of York's lesser known sights, @barconventyork - England's oldest surviving convent. The Neoclassical chapel contains an original priest hole, 8 exits and a dome built in 1769 which hides
under a pitched roof. (We liked the little note on the organ...) @LindaPeters64 #TRLT

A3: Visiting the Harem in the Topkapi Palace in Istanbul seemed to transport me back to the height of the Ottoman Empire. #TRLT
