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.

It was once used for everything from a center for administrative work, to ceremonial and funerary practices. During my time her...

Whats the march name?
I honestly don't remember. I picked it out of a list of patriotic tunes.
Great video! Thanks. 🇸🇰
Thank you for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
This visit to Bratislava was a day trip from Vienna. In an upcoming video I'll show you how I got here.
What is the location of this temple?
Evora, Portugal
This is wicked cool!
one of the most extreme activities I've enjoyed!
Please excuse my short intro, as I was suffering from a sinus issue at the time 🤣 But seriously, thanks for watching!
This adventure was part of a full day excursion from Lima which also included Ica and Huacachina.
Bravo
K town krampus approves this message....no naughtness found
Be sure to watch until the end to be tempted by the Tease of the Seas
Like I mentioned in the video, Sopron is without a doubt one of my favorite towns in Europe.
your videos are cool. You deserve more subscribers...
btw you'd better show yourself less...
Thanks for watching
ur video lacks colour and detail....u may know what ur talking about, but we dont....
Thanks for your input.
When I heard this story I knew I had to make a video telling of Pizarro's encounter with Pachacamac. History books may present it a bit differently but I thought this version made for a great tale.
Amazing ❤❤
Thanks for watching!
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. Greetings for visiting Peru and Lima Downtown, specially! :)
Thank you. I really enjoyed this city!
👍 🇵🇪
Great video
Thank you!
Huaca Pucllana was at the top of my list while visiting Miraflores. If you love archaeology, be sure to add this one to your South America bucket list!
It was while editing that I realized I walked right passed what I was looking for as soon as I entered the market 😂.
Yes, the dry desert environment nearly killed me on this one, but it was totally worth it.
Great video
Thanks! I'll have more videos from Peru uploaded soon.
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.
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.
Thanks for the info!
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.
I visited Huaca Pucllana. It was very interesting.
Amazing video, learned so much, it was very helpful ! Thank you
Thanks for watching! You really gotta see this place in person. Lisbon is amazing!
looks like fun
You'll have to excuse my voice in this one. I came back with sinuses full of sand 🤣

I would have had much more Lisbon to show you, but it was December and I just couldn't stay out of those Christmas Markets. Yes, I have a video of those too 🤣
Wonderful video, thk for sharing, like and sub for you ❤
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
i knew it
Portugal refused to destroy the order 1307 under pressure of Phillipe the Fair the French King who burned the Templar Grand Master Jacques de Molay. In Portugal the order changed name and lived - to today.
*Promosm* 🙂
Was this really an initiation place for a secret society? Leave a comment and let me know what you think.
Castelo de Sao Jorge represents an interesting history of Portugal. I only wish I had filmed more of this amazing place.
👁️👄👁️
Great video! I love the history.
Thanks for watching!
Yes, the main thing I learned on this adventure was how to more properly pronounce Evora 🤣
You don't want to miss out on this attraction while visiting Lisbon. It was actually one of my favorite locations of my trip to Portugal.
That is beautiful! ❤
You should see it in person. My video only shows a small bit of it.
I already know someone is going to point out one of my pronunciations in this video. I really struggled with the word "manueline", as I've heard it pronounced about 3 different ways. Feel free to correct me on this one. 😄
Glad you enjoyed the markets! Next time you're around check out other markets like the one in Alvalade which is much less "touristy". Will be looking out for more videos of Lisbon and Portugal!
Thanks for watching! Portugal was an amazing experience!
Great video! Looks fun!
Thank you!
Thanks for watching! And check back soon because I have many more videos of Portugal on the way.
This remote site is definitely worth checking out for history lovers road tripping through Utah.
Luxembourg may be often overlooked by many tourists, but the amount of history this place has to offer is impressive.
This charming town was one of the highlights of my last visit to Europe. I only wish I could have spent more time there.
