🥇 Our Trip to Banská Štiavnica, Slovakia by Hive account@belico

One of the main tourist attractions of this beautiful city is the old castle, with the magnificent Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary built atop a mountain in the 12th century. In the 15th century the church was surrounded by a stone wall, but in the 16th century, the complex was transformed into a castle to protect the townspeople from raids. Thus centuries later the basilica turned into a castle. Today the Old castle is a historical complex housing a museum.

🥈 Sortelha Village | Drone Aerial View - Portugal by Hive account@aleister

Sortelha is one of the best preserved historic villages in Portugal, located in the municipality of Sabugal, in the Beira Interior region. Founded in the 12th century, Sortelha has kept its medieval structure intact, transporting visitors to a bygone era with its narrow streets, stone houses and ancient fortifications. Sortelha Castle, built in the 13th century, is a historic highlight, situated at the highest point in the village and offering impressive panoramic views.

🥉 Golden Eye of Amasra; Boztepe Island / Amasra'nın Altın gözü; Boztepe Adası ( EN-TR) by Hive account@passenger777

I feel the longing for my hometown more during the summer months. I especially missed walking around the small, narrow and colorful streets of Amasra, where I was born, in the evenings. I used to enjoy swimming in the sea on its beaches, walking around its magnificent castles and touring its ports. But there is one place where you are completely mesmerized. Here, you literally get lost in the natural beauty on a hilltop that takes your soul to heaven. I see this place as the golden eye of Amasra. Let me take you to this hilltop they call Boztepe.
