Hi, In Turkey we have an amazing historic building designed by Mimar Sinan (Sinan the Archictect) for the daughter of Sulemain the Magnificent, Princess Mihrimah. Mihrimah Sultan is an Ottoman Mosque located in 陌stanbul. Mimar Sinan was in love with Mihrimah when they were young. But they couldn't be together..When Mimar Sinan was 50, he designed 2 mosque for her. In 21st of March you can see the sun goes down from Selimiye Mosque, at the same time moon shows itself from Mihrimah Mosque..And Mihrimah means sun and moon. I think that is so special.

Yasemin....that was a really beautiful story......As far as I know Istanbul is one of the most beatiful,iconic and historic town in the world.One day I will be there to enjoy all his historiography......

hi ,

陌 would l谋ke to narrate the legend of Maiden's Tower in 陌stanbul.陌n fact there are lots of diffirent legends but i pick for you the most known and liked ones.
It begins...
Constantine, one of the Byzantine emperors had a beautiful daughter whom he loved dearly. The soothsayers said that the girl would one day be bitten by a snake and die.

To protect his daughter the emperor commissioned a tower to be constructed on the small island where Kiz Kulesi(Maiden's Tower) stands now and sent his daughter there. But the girl was killed by a snake which came to the small island in a grape basket
Today ,maiden's tower is being used as a cafe-restaurant in daytime ,in evening it uses for as a special restaurant for native and foreing visitors.And besides wedding,meeting are very frequenly done in this historic building.

Hi Neil,
and welcome. Your explanations are very interesting, but I guess for very advanced people in english. In fact I left a post for Paloma saying that in my wiew she writes very well and so she should be speaking as much well.
I live in a town near Rome. Her name is Frascati, the Beverly Hills of the Roman Castles, 'cause very close we have the famous movie studios of Cinecitt脿, so many italian films have been moved on our areas. We have also many historical villas, built by great italian e foreign artists and architects like Maderno, Della Porta, Cavalier D'Arpino, Bernini, van Wittel and many others.
We have many tipical fanny squares and also many tipical osterias, where you can buy the white wine, known all the world. During the Eight Century many voyagers visited Frascati, because the town was includet on European Grand Tour. Today Frascati is visited for his mild wheather and for his beautiful landscapes, where you can appreciate the vibrant and magnificent sunset over Rome.

Hello!

I'm brazilian and I live in Angra dos Reis, Rio de Janeiro - a very nice place to admire its natural beauty and to know about Brazil's history. Angra was one of the first cities visited by the portuguese and it happened in 1502. Although its historic buildings are not well preserved, what is more important (in my opinion) we have here: there's still descendent native groups and ex slave descendents reunited in specific places, trying to keep bravely their culture and habits. Besides, the tourist may go to the Big Island, where ruins of an ancient prison still can be seen in a wonderful beach. At last, The nuclear usine with its modern architecture may be explored. Well... this is where I live. Is there anyone here who's visited Brazil?!?

Hello everybody ! I live in a cozy small town in the countryside near Rome which - it goes without saying - probably possesses the highest concentration of historic buildings in the whole world. Since I don't want to look predictable then, I am not going to speak about one of Roman innumerable architectural pieces of art. I would like you to know instead of a little medieval castle located in the town where in live: Savelli Castle in Palombara Sabina. Its tower dates back to 900 a.C. and its function was essentially being a lookout, due to its position at the top of the hill, as to say a sort of watch tower. Later on other parts of the castle had been built and it wasn't finally completed until the 15th century under the dominance of the Borgheses, Sforzas and Torlonias, among the most important Italian dynasties of the Renaissance period. Nowadays, it's one of the council properties but still keeps its charm and it's often offered by the Mayor to the couples who wish to have their wedding celebrated in a fascinating and truly unusual location. By the way, which lady would not dream about being brought to a magnificent ancient castle by her beloved knight riding a romantic white horse and then becoming his bride and live happily ever after ? Ok ok maybe I have exaggerated just a little bit with the roamanticism but, at the end of the day, why not ? Oh by the way, even if you are not going to get married or you are allergic to horses, you could come to Palombara even just to enjoy an eye-catching stunning susnset in the castel gardens watching Rome from a different point of view, couldn't you ?

Hi Neil! Thanks a lot for your explanations, they are really useful for us.
Here it's my task:

During my trips to Central America I have always admired "The Panama Canal Administration Building" because of the location is at the top of a hill prominently overlooking the Canal. I have read that this historic building was inaugurated on July 15, 1914, exactly a month before the official opening of the Canal.

As an English teacher you are I noticed that you take care of your punctuation, I mention this because it's important to know the rules and apply them when writing.
What about if you mention in your next posts anything about British punctuation?
With my warmest greetings to you,

Hi everyone my name is Jemil.I am living in Istanbul. It is the biggest wen of Turkey.Actually There are alot of touchy feely turkish people who don't want to blow their own trumpet here.
There are a bunch of historic buildings in Istanbul.
The church of Saint Antonie is the biggest Catholic Church in Istanbul which has has established in 1725.It is located in the center of a courtyard is entered through the gate on the roadside between two apartment buildings which were built to provide funding for the church. The church was built by concrete, and has neogothic style. It has the biggest number of congregation.

You probably won't see any priests or nuns on the street at least, you won't see them in their religious garb. When Turkey became a secular state with the proclamation of the Turkish Republic in 1923, clergy and other religious persons of all faiths were forbidden to wear religious raiment in public places. Mitres, pastoral collars and nuns' habits are restricted to the interiors of religious buildings, private homes and vehicles.

Good luck
Jemil

An excellent piece of teacher's reply. In a plain and not patronizing language. Thank you, NE, for your comment.

Dear friends
I read all of your comments and was very wonderful.Let me to share my experience that I gained in my country.Have you ever seen my country,Iran?What do you know about that?In my country you can see all season at the same time and so many historic buildings and our special culture.What is your opinion about my country?

I live in the Kuri-city which is located in the west southern part of South Korea . Truth be told. I'm so happy to be a citizen of Kuri-city. Because Kuri-city was the capital of Koryeo dynasty . So we have many historic sites . for example Donggu-reung is one of the most famous historic sites in Kuri. It's also record on UNESCO too. Dong Gu reung (霃欔惮毽�) is the place where has tombs of 17 kings and queens of Joseon dynasty . not just the history . Dong Gu reung is also famous for the environment too. so people visit here every year to see the beautiful scenery of here ^^ when I was in middle school. I've been there alot for volunteering such as picking up the trashes or trample down the grasses around the tombs . so it's a trip down memory lane whenever i see middle school students visit there for school volunteering
