France

by traveldave

Official Name: French Republic; Land Area: 211,200 square miles (547,000 square kilometers); Population: 65,102,719; Capital: Paris; Largest City: ParisOne of the most recognizable landmarks in Paris is Notre-Dame Cathedral. It is the most popular tourist attraction in Paris, drawing more visitors than even the Eiffel Tower. It has been said that "it is not the highest, largest, or richest church, but, there is none more perfect."Notre-Dame Cathedral is one of the finest examples of Gothic architecture. Notable architectural features include the twin bell towers that rise to a height of 228 feet (69 meters), and the flying buttresses, which are arched exterior supports. The flying buttresses were designed and built by Jean Ravy, and span 50 feet (15 meters). They were not part of the cathedral's original plan, but were added during construction after stress caused the rising walls to...

Germany

by traveldave

Official Name: Federal Republic of Germany; Land Area: 137,800 square miles (356,900 square kilometers); Population: 81,471,834; Capital: Berlin; Largest City: BerlinThe capital of Germany's southernmost province of Bavaria is Munich. With a metropolitan area of 2,320,000 inhabitants, it is Germany's third-largest city. Munich is referred to as a Millionendorf, which means a "village of a million people," because it has the feel of a village rather than a big city. The word Munich is derived from the word Munichen, meaning "at the monks," because it was originally a monastic settlement founded on the banks of the River Isar near the Bavarian Alps. The monastery was first settled by the monks in 777 A.D. and has since grown to become one of the major economic cities of Germany.Heavily damaged by Allied bombing raids during the Second World War, it has been extensively restored to its...

Greece

by traveldave

Official Name: Hellenic Republic; Land Area: 50,900 square miles (131,800 square kilometers); Population: 10,760,136; Capital: Athens; Largest City: AthensThe Parthenon is an iconic symbol not only of Classical Greece, but of modern Greece as well. It is one of the greatest cultural monuments in the world. Many consider it the most perfect building ever built, and to many people it is the very symbol of civilization. The Parthenon, which means "Shrine of the Virgin," dominates the Acropolis, the flat-topped rock that contained many of the great public buildings of Ancient Athens. It was a temple dedicated to the Greek goddess Athena, who was the protector of Ancient Athens. A large statue of Athena, sculpted by Phidias, was the centerpiece of the temple, and was dedicated in 439 or 438 B.C. Construction of the Parthenon took place between 447 and 438 B.C. It replaced an earlier temple,...

Hungary

Official Name: Republic of Hungary; Land Area: 35,900 square miles (92,980 square kilometers); Population: 9,976,062; Capital: Budapest; Largest City: BudapestWhen I visited Hungary, it was still a Communist country under Soviet control. Although there was not a Soviet military presence as there was in East Germany, it was an interesting experience to visit during the Cold War, especially for an American. Despite the fact that I was from the West, I found the people to be friendly and helpful.My group stayed in a Communist youth camp with young people from many Communist countries, including the Soviet Union, East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Yugoslavia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Mongolia. Because we were Americans and the Cold War was going on, we were stared at with suspicion itinitially, but after time we all realized that we were basically the same, despite the differences between...

The area was once a marshy hollow between the Capitoline and Palatine Hills which was drained by Lucius Tarquinius Priscus, an early Roman king, shortly after Rome was founded.The ruins of the Roman Forum span several periods of Roman history, including the Republican and Imperial periods. The major ruins include ten temples, three basilicas, four arches, and numerous other buildings.Tentative excavations of the Roman Forum began in the late eighteenth century, but it was not until 1803 that more extensive and serious excavations began.

Netherlands

Portugal

by traveldave

Official Name: Portuguese Republic; Land Area: 35,672 square miles (92,390 square kilometers); Population: 10,760,305; Capital: Lisbon; Largest City: LisbonA pleasant way to experience the Lisbon of old is to wander on foot in the Alfama, the oldest surviving section of Lisbon. When the city was largely destroyed by an earthquake in 1755, the Alfama survived, thanks to the solid bedrock of the hills on which it is located.The Alfama is characterized by narrow streets, winding alleyways, tiny squares, small churches, and whitewashed houses with wrought-iron balconies and red tile roofs. Many of the older inhabitants have lived here all of their lives, giving the area a strong sense of community. There are many traditional grocers, workshops, and other businesses which also contribute to the district's sense of community.Recently, wealthy people have been moving into the Alfama and...

The fortress originally served as a watch tower and a refuge for the local inhabitants during seiges. Over the centuries, the fortress was reinforced many times. It took on its present appearance in the second half of the fifteenth century, and its gabled roof was added during the sixteenth century. After having been the seat of various military...
