Bratislava Castle - Interesting History & Amazing Architecture
Come with me as I explore the grounds of Bratislava Castle in search of history and architecture. Along this tour we will roam the exquisite baroque interior, climb the Crown Tower for a view of the Danube River, and trek deep in the dungeons to learn about the archaeology of the area. Much of this palace functions as a museum providing information about the settlement's timeline. After completing this educational experience we will take a pleasant stroll through the royal gardens to see a number of statues. To view the palace grounds is free of charge but a ticket is required for the inside. The entire experience is a self guided tour. All of this makes adding the capital of Slovakia to your European travel itinerary.

    The quantity of Gold and Silver was so huge in Peru since old ages, that when Spanish Monarchy began its extraction/explotation to ship to Europe, Lima but Callao port specially, were strategic points of Irish & English Pirates attacks, so that was the reason for the construction of he Old Wall of the City of the Kings, also during Rains season, Rimac river fluent increases so that was another reason for build the wall.

    What you saw was the current Iglesia de la Recoleta, built in 1868. Lima is a sysmical shaken city and destruction has been the rule since God knows when.

  • @santiagoarestegui
    @santiagoarestegui Před 3 měsíci

    Palacio de Gobierno is fairly new as well. The viceregal palace burnt in 1921 and replaced by the current building in 1938. Lima Cathedral has been rebuilt at least three or four times since the founding stone was placed in the 1530s. Most viceregal churches date back to the 18th century.

  • @santiagoarestegui
    @santiagoarestegui Před 3 měsíci

    Lima is much older than the city walls. They were built in the early 17th century and remained in place until the late 1870s. Dotted across the town you will come across a huaca, the ancient - hispanic administrative and worshipping centres of pre hispanic Lima. The three valleys compromising Lima - Rimac, Lurin and Chillon - were dotted with them and all of them made up a network from current day northermost districts to semi - rural valley of Lurin. Some are preserved in remain in place as open air museums. The bulk of well preserved huacas can be within the permiter of Catholic University, San Marcos University and the zoo park. In residential areas like San Isidro, Miraflores, Chorrilos and Pueblo Libre they are integrated into the urban landscape in different states of preservation. Most of Downtown Lima was built in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Plaza San Martin turns 100 this year. Prior to that there was a viceregal convent and its sourroundings and a railway station, the first one built in Peru in the 1850s.
