Naples is a very old city - having been established as a Greek trading center around 600 BC. The city was later conquered by the ancient Romans and became a residence of several emperors and other important persons of that time. Today, Naples is a bustling city located in a beautiful natural setting, with a colorful street life, chaotic traffic, and numerous narrow and winding alleyways that lead to many quaint shops and restaurants.National Archaeological Museum of Naples and famous ruins of Pompeii are worthy to see in this city.This museum houses one of the world’s great collections of Greek and Roman antiquities. The museum has many priceless artifacts retrieved from the nearby ruins of Pompeii and other archaeological sites located in southern Italy. The collection includes ancient Greek and Roman sculptures, a famous mosaic of Alexander the Great, and a collection of ancient coins, medals, cameos, silverware and jewelry. A detailed model of Pompeii is also on display.

Emperor Hadrian had it built in 130 A.D. as his mausoleum. It held the remains of the Imperial family until Caracalla.It was Used as shelter for popes and as jail. To make it safer in 1277 it was joined to the Vatican by the famous "Passetto". This long fortified passageway allowed the pope to walk safely from the Vatican to Castel Sant'Angelo. Today it is a Museum (National Museum in Castel Sant’Angelo). There are collections of weapons and documents about the history of the castle. All rooms can be visited, from the jail to the pope's apartments and all the numerous fully adorned rooms.

Italian  Gallerie Dell'accademia Di Venezia,museum of art in Venice housing an unrivaled collection of paintings from the Venetian masters of the 13th through the 18th century. There are outstanding works by Giovanni Bellini, Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto, Giovanni Battista Tiepolo, and Canaletto. The galleries occupy the former monastery, church, and school of Santa Maria della Carita.A vanazia girl at that day was celling some tickect of Opera infront of the Academy.

The Pantheon is a building in Rome that was begun in 27 BC by the statesman Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa, probably as a building of the ordinary classical temple type--rectangular with a gabled roof supported by a colonnade on all sides. It was completely rebuilt by the emperor Hadrian sometime between AD 118 and 128, with some alterations made in the early 3rd century by the emperors Lucius Septimius Severus and Caracalla. It is a circular building of concrete faced with brick, with a great concrete dome rising from the walls and with a front porch of Corinthian columns supporting a gabled roof with triangular pediment. Beneath the porch are huge bronze double doors, 24 feet (7 m) high, the earliest-known large examples of this type.I am sitting with a hippie girl in front porch of the Pantheon in Rome.

Ponte di Rialto (Rialto Bridge) is the true heart of Venice. The current structure was built in just three years, between 1588 and 1591, as a permanent replacement for the boat bridge and three wooden bridges that had spanned the Grand Canal at various times since the 12th Century. It remained the only way to cross the Grand Canal on foot until the Accademia Bridge was built in 1854.

Bologna is a warm, friendly city, a well-preserved old town surrounded by green hills, an old tradition in art and culture, an ancient university, world famous cooking.The railway station, 1.5 km from the old town makes Bologna the ideal base for visiting the historical cities Venice, Florence, Milan and Ferrara in less than two hours.In the heart of the Pianura Padana we find Bologna, the so called "dotta" city. Indeed it is the place of the most ancient Italian university,the Alma Mater Studiorum, that was built by emperor Federico Barbarossa in theeleventh century.The university brings lots of young people into the city and makes it brilliantly and culturally alive. There is a famous song that says: "in the center of Bologna not even a child can get lost". It isabsolutely true.

The waters of the River Seine have always been the heart and soul of Paris, dating back to the days when the Parisii tribe first established a fishing village on the island now known as Ile de la Cite between 250 and 200 B.C. Prized for its position as a major inland port, Paris has been invaded, occupied, and conquered by its share of foreigners over the course of two millennia, many of whom arrived by this waterway. The last major invasion by water occurred between 885 and 886 A.D., when 30,000 Norman pirates in 700 ships sailed up the Seine, only to find it valiantly defended by Comte Eudes.It is appropriate that the center of Paris particularly that section gracing the Seine around "Ile de la Cite and Ile Saint-Louis ” features some of the city's oldest and most majestic historic monuments.

The town of Pec/Peja, referred to as "Dukagjini" by Kosovo Albanians and as "Metohija" by Serbs and Montenegrins, can be considered the main town in the area of western Kosovo.The municipality of Pec/Peja is the location of several important Serbian Orthodox offices, including the archbishopric, dating from the late thirteenth century, and the patriarchate, dating from the sixteenth century, of the Serbian Orthodox Church. Events of great significance in the history of the Serbs began or took place in Pec and have become part of the Serb psyche. Among these is the exodus in 1689 at the end of the Austro-Turkish war of the Patriarch of Pec, Arsenije III, who led a large convoy of Serbs from Pec to territories lying several hundreds of kilometres north, in what is known as the "Great Migration". Pec municipality traditionally enjoys close ties with Montenegro: it is just a 30-minute drive from the centre of Pec town along the main road to Rozaje in Montenegro. An old dirt road through the Rugova canyon and a dozen remote mountain villages immediately to the west of Pec also link the municipality with Montenegro.
