Machu Picchu is one of the most astonishing places to visit in the world! It was built around 1450 and was abandoned during the Spanish conquest in the 16th century. It was then made known to the outside world by an American historian Professor, Hiram Bingham in 1911. Apart from the breathtaking natural landscapes, the “Lost City of the Incas” also stands as an architectural and engineering marvel of the ancient world and was designated by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site in 1983.
History Buff
Trinity College Dublin was founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I. With its classical architecture and historic aspect, it is a must-see site for visitors to the Irish capital. The stunning Old Library of the College houses 350,000 early printed books and 20,000 manuscripts and historical documents, including the world’s most famous medieval manuscript - the 9th century Book of Kells. It is also a delight to walk into the Long Room of the Library which is called “the most beautiful room in Ireland”.
