🥇 Milan Fortress - exploration and adventure in Milan by Hive account@sniki003

Milan is a city known for its dynamism, innovation and culture, but behind its modern facade hides a rich history that is reflected in its magnificent monuments. One of the most prominent historical jewels in the center of the city is the Sforza fortress, a monumental complex that testifies to power, art and military strategy throughout the centuries. But within those massive walls, there is one place that has a special meaning. Rocchetta is the inner fortification of the fortress, which throughout history served as the last line of defence and as a place where rulers sought safety in the most critical moments.

🥈 Monaco - Visiting The Home Of F1 Street Racing! by Hive account@relf87

Of course, when one is at Nice, Monaco is a must visit! Monaco is actually just about an hour of train ride from Nice and it was a smooth train ride! It's nice that within these countries in the EU, there's not really the immigrations and we can just go from one country to another without stamping of passport. That's one interesting experience I realised.

🥉 Inside the Ancient 13th Century Ruins of Matosavank Monastery by Hive account@namiks

Armenia is riddled with ancient things. To the point where it's as if the country doesn't really know what to do with at all or point its focus towards. These ancient things are scattered around current Armenia and in previous Greater Armenia which were taken by its neighbouring nations Turkey and Azerbaijan, some even ending up being present Iran. These locations are found within the strangest places. Some atop the largest mountains, a symbol of being as close to Heaven and God as possible. Though often enough the most difficult of places to get to, especially without a car. Others remain within similar strange locations, which require quite a bit of walking to get to. Mostly tucked away and hidden within the overgrown and dense forestry of Armenia's green mountains. This particular ancient location is an old Monastery from the 13th century.
