Historical place you have been to...

The Great Wall, Forbidden City and so on. That's what I have written in my blog,about the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City is the largest and most well reserved imperial residence in China today.It constructed in 1406,continued to be the residence of 24 successive emperors from different dynasties for 5 centuries thereafter. It contains 9,900 rooms under a total roof area 150,000 square meters is rectangular in shape.There are four entrances of the city. It takes us more than one day here, an amazing place.

That sounds very interesting! The last historical place I went to was a couple of years ago. It was Dealy Plaza in Dallas. It was a side stop on a trip. We had a lot of fun, talking to the locals, taking pics and such.

when I travel, I want to go to historical places so, even if its an new as O Henry's home in Austin Texas or as old as Roman ruins, you can bet, that I'll be going there! I have to say, the older the better in my book.

I have been to Cebu, the first city in the Philippines. There we went to the place where the first blood compact was made between the Sultan of Cebu and the captain of the Spanish ship that came to look for spices. Cebu is a great city because it's so much more cleaner than Manila. However, it also does have it's "dirty places" like where Magellan's Cross is housed - I think the Cebu government should do better in managing that tourist spot. Thanks for the response on my discussion!

I've been to... ...Intramuros (The Walled City) in Manila - Intramuros, located along the southern bank of the Pasig River, was built by the Spaniards in the 16th century and is the oldest district of the city of Manila, the capital of the Philippines. Its name, in Spanish, intramuros, literally "within the walls", meaning within the wall enclosure of the city/fortress, also describes its structure as it is surrounded by thick, high walls and moats. During the Spanish colonial period, Intramuros was considered Manila itself. ...Shrine of Valor in Mt. Samat in Bataan - a very important place during World War II. Wherein many Filipinos offered their own lives just for the sake of the country. A shrine was also erected to commemorate the bravery, courage and love for the country of the unsung heroes. ...Magellan's Cross in Cebu - is a Christian cross planted by Portuguese and Spanish explorers as ordered by Ferdinand Magellan upon arriving in Cebu in the Philippines on April 21, 1521 ...The First Blood Compact Site in Brgy. Bool, Tagbilaran City, Bohol - This particular site was made in honor of a very important event in the Philippine history done between Miguel Lopez de Legazpi of Spain and Rajah Sikatuna of Bohol. ...Corregidor- Corregidor is an island in the entrance of the Philippines' Manila Bay. Due to its position in the bay, it has served as a focal point for the naval defenses of the capital city of Manila. During World War II, Corregidor was the site of several battles and its fall to the Japanese forces was instrumental in the subsequent capture of the Philippines and the retreat of the United States in the early stages of the war. ...Banaue Rice Terraces in Ifugao - 000-year old terraces that were carved into the mountains of Ifugao in the Philippines by ancestors of the Batad indigenous people. The Rice Terraces are commonly referred to by Filipinos as the "Eighth Wonder of the World." ...and MANY MORE. Basically every location/place is historical so it would be unfair if we will say that this or that place lack history. It is just a matter of understanding its past. Happy MyLotting!

borobudur, it's kind like a piramid, but have a thousands picture around it, and each picture tells a story, it's really a magnificent place.

I have not been to any lately. I went to quite a few before, like where the Confederation Fathers made Canada into a country, that was in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, where they had Anne of Green Gables Cottage, and since I live in Winnipeg, MB. I have been to Fort Gary, and there have been other places, usually from British Columbia through to Manitoba, but right now I have all our stuff packed downstairs, so I cannot go down there and get it and find out if I have any souvenirs or pictures from those times.

I love to visit historical places in the world. When I was in Hawaii I visited Pearl Harbor. It was a sad experience but quite fascinating. Across Europe I have visited some places that were in World War II. I went to Anne Franks' house in Amsterdam. I also visited some of the chilling and upsetting concentration camps. On a happier note I visited the interesting and enjoyable Mayan ruins in Central America.

I recently went to St. Augustine, Florida, which is the oldest city in the US and home of the Fountain of Youth. I drank the water, but it's very smelly and you must hold your breath while you drink it to avoid gagging! I enjoyed the old city and beautiful beaches as well.

i have been to Intramuros in Manila, Luneta Park ( where our National Hero Jose P. Rizal was executed ), Fort Bonifacio, Emilio Aguinaldo Shrine in Cavite, Rizal Shrine in Laguna. i would like to visit Bataan someday soon and Mactan.

I have not visited yet a historical place lately. Though I visted Fort Santiago, many years ago. the place in Intramuros Manila where Jose Rizal was jailed. The Bagumbayan Field or the Luneta Park where Rizal was killed, it's a very near historical place where everyone can stroll. Jose Rizal's house at Calamba Laguna and the Aguinaldo shrine at Kawit Cavite. I wish however to see other historical places if got the chance to.

I just found out by reading those historical markers on the side of the road that just a few miles from my house is the location where the first permanant white settler in Tennessee lived. Davey Crockett used it as a hunting camp then this guy built a cabin on the land. His son was born there, being the first native born resident of Tennessee. I have been to Monticello; Thomas Jefferson's home in Charlottesville, VA. It was amazing! The Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC is also stunning. Home to the famous Vanderbilt family. I love finding little historical jewels near home.

Last January I was invited to an awesome travel aboard a sailboat. We sailed from Cartagena de Indias to Panama City going through Kunayala, a group of islands in Panama where the Kuna indians live much the same as they did before Columbus came to America. They have their language, culture and way of dressing. After we left Kunayala (you can also check it as San Blas Islands), we went to the opposite side of mankind toil: we saw the Panama channel, one of the most incredible things man have done to put nature to work for him. And we ended in Panama city which sitill has the ruins of the Ciudad Vieja (the old city).

Madinah and MAkkah.... they both r simply beautiful...and filled with history....though the stupid Saudi govt is going on demolishing sites of historic importance....but yet i simply love these both cities....amazing...esp Madinah...i can happily spend my whole life there.... There r many more historic sites that i want to visit...and God willing....will do so in the future....
