The rest of the castles are 12 and 13th century and are not public places.

The oldest building we have in my village is the church tower which was completed a few years after the year 1000.

The pope of that time consecrated our church in 1049, that was because this part of Europe had a few incidents with angry northmen (vikings)



Nearby villages have remains of buildings of the Roman Empire, mostly foundations of houses, fortified buildings and large thermae.



Lots of history and always great to see all this stuff during my morning run when I'm back home


Very cool! Incredible history all around you. Nothing like that here. It's great how you appreciate your surroundings. Thanks for sharing it.

Nature beats anything man-made in my book, I love a good hike in a forest and have some alone time

One of the best cigars I've ever tried. I try to always have a few of them and the 1964 Padron Anniversary Torpedoes in my humidor.

La Flor Dominicana Reservation Especial today. Very good cigar and different in a good way from many of LFD's cigars.



Also had today a new LE from Viaje Cigar, Skull and Bones. A delicious and smooth Maduro. They them both!

Very smooth but think I'm going to go back to the A10 shown above a few posts after this one.

I'm hooked and I recommend everyone try them. (Edge a10)
