History

I’m a sucker for history, and discovering both the known and unknown histories of a new place is one of my favorite parts about traveling.  Travel opens up a destination’s history, because you get to walk the same streets, explore the buildings, see the monuments, and overall really *feel* the weight of times gone by.
From the ancient streets of Old Jaffa, to the castle of a mad king, to the modern relics of a war in my lifetime, here are historical sites that I recommend adding to your itinerary if you’ll be in the area.
