replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 A2: This -- believe it or not -- is in N. coastal California, Fort Ross, where Russians (!?) lived and worked and made lots of $$ in the 19th century. I had no idea. #TRLT

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 @BradtGuides A1: Archaeological site - usually these tend to transport you in time. The Avantipora ruins had such impact #TRLT https://t.co/PxPoJ1A2Na

A2. Visiting Golubac fortress is like strolling through a timeline of Serbian history. Built by Hungarians in the 13th century and eventually reclaimed by the Serbs in 1867, this impressive castle has changed ownership more times than we can count! #TRLT

@TheTravelCamel @BradtGuides A1 I like a good Museum. Especially if my car is in it.

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 A2) When I came upon Palais-Royal in Paris I didn't feel like I was transported back in time but into giant chessboard scene from the 1970s version of the movie "The Three Mustketeers". #TRLT

replying to @LindaPeters64 @LindaPeters64 A2: The Kronborg Castle in Denmark has a Shakespearean vibe to it and transports you into that era #TRLT https://t.co/27LDZJIfz8

A2: Many Historic Places contain buildings or dwellings that transport us back in time.
These photos of a Martello Tower; a historical building that represents the solidity of the troops trying to stave off enemies, during battles in Quebec City.

A2. The largest mud structure in the world, Mali’s Djenné Mosque is as striking as it is historic. Dating back to 1907, this fine example of classical Sudanese architecture is perhaps the most well-known of its kind. #TRLT

@TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 A2: Walk around Peterborough and you'll find a bunch of blue plaques reminding you of the history of the city and particular buildings.
Certainly transports me to past times! 😊

@RTWBarefoot @LindaPeters64 A2 One thing I loved about Japan is you would be walking around skyscrapers and you’d often then stumble upon something hundreds of years old.

replying to @TheTravelCamel @TheTravelCamel @LindaPeters64 A2 #TRLT As a medievalist I'm fond of Winchester Great Hall, complete with round table (though not quite dating back to King Arthur!)

A3. Albania is home to several historic cities, each of them offering an insight into the country’s unique past. Among our favourites is the picturesque city of Berati and its iconic hillside houses! #TRLT

@TheTravelCamel @BradtGuides #trlt A3: Uzbekistan, because, well ... I mean, look at it.
Note I have a very wide definition of 'historical'.

A3 Guatemala to see Tikal. I would share a photo but I was using an olde fashioned film camera which didn't spool correctly. I've been using digital ever since! Here's another pyramid instead #TRLT

The Monument Church Of St Francis. The architecture was incredible! Located in the middle of Porto, Portugal: https://t.co/lSeKMgfEqN 🇵🇹. @TheTravelCamel #TRLT #travel #TravelTuesday #travelblog

A3 #TRLT I haven’t, but I had always wanted to go to Australia & see the Sydney Opera House. I felt fortunate to take a tour of it.
