  • The Trajan Column was erected 106-113 CE by Roman emperor Trajan. The Santissimo Nome di Maria (Church of the Most Holy Name of Mary) stands in front of the Column of Trajan, a few dozen steps from a similarly domed church of Santa Maria di Loreto, giving the semblance of twin churches. Who can tell me which one is captured here?

  • A very pretty and picturesque village perched on a narrow ridge near Mont Ventoux. Venasque is one of Most Beautiful Villages (Plus Beaux Villages) of France. The village is small, with a few shops, restaurants, a 12th century church and a 6th century baptistery. The main centre starts at the 18th century fountain. It’s a definite stop if you are in this part of Vaucluse region in Provence.

  • The story behind Jerónimos Monastery, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, was that it was built over the entire course of the 1500s, taking exactly 100 years. It was funded by a 5% export and trade tax. It was the place where the navigator Vasco da Gama and his men spent their last night in Portugal in the late 1400s before journeying to India, and where many came to pray for those at sea. Inspired by sea voyages, the decorative style incorporated anchors, ropes, and other maritime symbols, in addition to religious symbols. Monks who lived in the monastery in 1700s were believed to create the delicious pastéis de nata... • • • • • #jerónimos #portugal #super_portugal #visitportugal #ig_portugal #portugal_em_fotos #portugalalive #portugalcomefeitos #amar_portugal #loves_portugal #ok_portugal #portugal_lovers #lisboa #lisbon #super_lisboa #lisboalive #toplisbonphoto #unescoworldheritage #traveler #travelingram #igtravel #traveltheworld #instatravelgram #mytravelgram #travelwithmeaning #travelguide #travelinspo #instatraveling #instapassport #instago

  • In the last decade, we have almost always been in some European country over the Easter weekend. And, there is always an abundance of spring flowers, especially Daffodils. This year, we are home, which is Canada 🇨🇦.

  • Incredibly saddened by the devastating fire that has destroyed one of Paris’s oldest and most cherished landmarks. But, waking up this morning and relieved to hear that the main structure of the cathedral, the tower and the facades were saved. It will take so much time to restore and rebuild, but Notre Dame will definitely rise again. J’adore Paris, and hope to see you again soon... • • • • • #notre #notredamedeparis #notredame #pariscityvision #lonelyplanettraveller #paris_focus_on #prettycityparis #parisjetaime #topparisphoto #parismaville #loves_paris #pariscartepostale #visitparis #parismonamour #france #igersfrance #igersparis #super_france #topfrancephoto #hello_france #loves_france_ #france_vacations #ig_france #france_photolovers #jaimelafrance #exclusive_france #travelmore #travelinspiration
  • Spring in Tuscany brings out every variation of green you can imagine. Contrast that with the palest blue sky and you have the most dreamy landscape I have ever seen. Driving from village to village is almost the best part of visiting Tuscany.

  • Will you just look at those details? An UNESCO World Heritage Site, La Grand-Place, dates back to the 12th century. It needed to be rebuilt after the bombardment of 1695, but has remained virtually unchanged ever since. The rebuilding in the Baroque architecture of the late 17th century shows that the more stately the building was in its details and materials used it reflected the status of its occupants. As you stand in the middle of the square, these details are noticeable.
