There is a city in Italy that is particularly popular among tourists. We are talking about Polignano a Mare. There is a famous Italian restaurant — "Grotta Palazzese", a pearl among local attractions, hidden in a cave. From there you can enjoy a picturesque view of the Adriatic Sea. The restaurant itself is located on a cliff, inside a limestone cave. Grotta Palazzese is the largest cave. It has the shape of a semicircle, the diameter of which is 30 meters.

The idea to equip a room inside the cave arose a long time ago. According to some sources, the date of its creation is attributed to 1.700. Previously, lavish balls and large-scale feasts were held there. At that time, Duke Leto ruled, who was the owner of this city, approved the construction of a room in the cave. Soon the place became popular among the upper strata of society.

2022-06-19 03:08:29 Indonesia , Bali, Tegallalang Rice Terraces

The Tegallalang rice terraces are one of Bali's most memorable landscapes.

The unique landscape was created according to the classic irrigation system for the island, which spread back in the VIII century. And throughout the year, the landscape is constantly updated in accordance with agricultural cycles. It is impossible to capture the same view when visiting this place some time later.

The village of Tegallalang is developing rapidly in a tourist direction: souvenir shops and shops where local craftsmen sell handmade products are lined up along the road to the famous terraces.

On especially hot days, to visit rice terraces, it is better to take with you wide shade hats and a cream with a high level of protection from sunlight, since there is no natural shade on rice plantations — only on the approach to them.

2022-06-18 15:05:19 Olafsborg #Finland

Olafsborg is a 15th—century fortress on a tiny island in the Finnish city of Savonlinna. This is the northernmost medieval fortress that has survived to this day. 

Originally it belonged to Sweden, then it became part of the Grand Duchy of Finland as part of the Russian Empire, and then became part of independent Finland.

The place, a rocky island on Lake Saimaa, was chosen for strategic reasons: firstly, high steep walls run almost along the very edge of the island, and it is difficult to approach them, and it is almost impossible to approach them without being noticed. 

Secondly, the current is very strong, and the water does not freeze even in winter, so it is much easier to defend yourself in severe weather conditions
