Once Princess Dashkova, the director of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences, noted that the best way to receive a good education is to embark on a journey. Today, it is not always possible for us to travel physically - we may lack money, time, or be hindered by the political situation at times. But nothing can prevent us from visiting the most interesting places on the planet with the help of a book. And if circumstances align favorably and you are lucky enough to visit Versailles, Hagia Sophia, or the Tower of London, it is better to arrive there prepared, knowing about their history. This book contains stories about places that have attracted not only archaeologists and historians at different times, but also poets and artists. Here you will find monuments of Antiquity (Delphi, Pompeii, etc.), the capitals of the Mayan and Inca empires (Tikal and Machu Picchu), the Taj Mahal, the Venetian Cathedral of St. Mark, the Alhambra in Spain, and the Forbidden City of the Chinese emperors... In short, this is a book about legendary, myth-laden yet very real historical landmarks. The text is complemented by numerous illustrations.
