Having designed in the King Charles IV reign, the Charles
Bridge is a well-known historic bridge that crosses the Vltava River in Prague,
Czech Republic. The Charles Bridge will never close down to mesmerize the art
lovers who pay honour to it in their works. While the day's first rays of
sunlight touch the cold cobblestones and illuminate the monumental Gothic
towers at both of its ends, you would be hard put to find a more romantic
location.
Visit The World's Oldest Republic : San Marino
Surrounded by Italy, San Marino is one of the world's
smallest countries and claims to be the world's oldest republic. It is located
657 in above sea level with spectacular views of the surrounding countryside
and Adriatic coast, and is situated only 10km from Rimini. San Marino is an
echo from an era when city-states proliferated across Europe. According to the
legend, San Marino was founded by a Christian stonemason named Marinus who
arrived from the island of flab in Dalmatia. He had climbed Mt. Titano to found
a small community of Christians, persecuted for their faith by the Emperor
Diocletian.
