[Brian G Turner]

Loved these pictures, especially the unusual ones from Chios.

Just in case it helps anyone visualise their own mediaeval worlds better. How you'd describe them, though, is another thing!

Ah-ha! I've been to Stein am Rhein -- a glorious place to visit, if anyone has the chance.

Super pretty. But where's Dunster? Pah.

 

[Nerds_feather]

Beautiful!

I had the good fortune to live in Dubrovnik, Croatia for a while--another medieval gem.

 

[Allegra]

Ah-ha! I've been to Stein am Rhein -- a glorious place to visit, if anyone has the chance.

Me too! Walking in those streets were like walking on a movie set. lovely pictures. I envy people who live in those century old pretty houses.

I lived in Hameln in Germany for nearly 5 years and that's still got it's medieval town centre..but don't forget our own Oxford town centre - the colleges and the surrounding street layouts haven't changed much since the 13thC (and Merton College's Old Law Library is the oldest original Library still in use in the world - built in 1342)
