You can trace fascism's roots to the turbulent aftermath of World War I, where masses of angry people rose up, and their charismatic leaders manipulated that anger. Both Benito Mussolini in Italy and Adolf Hitler in Germany turned fringe movements claiming to be the champion of the oppressed into totalitarian fascist regimes. From Piazza Venezia in Rome, Mussolini whipped his followers into a mass frenzy — igniting a new, amped-up kind of nationalism. He capitalized on a deep-seated frustration

Simply put, Hagia Sophia in Istanbul is one of the most magnificent, influential, historic, and revered buildings on Earth. For centuries, it served as the greatest church in Christendom. It was home to the Byzantine Emperor and Orthodox Patriarch (the “eastern pope”), and a beacon of civilization during Western Europe’s so-called “dark ages.” When Muslims conquered Constantinople, this great church suddenly became one of the world’s greatest mosques. And when it was secularized in the 20th cent

The Imperial Nürnberg Castle in Germany is set upon a highly elevated rock, so it called for a very deep well. Today, the castle illustrates that in a fun and memorable way. A splash of water released from the top of the well takes about six seconds to reach the bottom. Don’t think that's deep? Try imagining free falling into a body of water for six seconds. (Rick Steves’ Europe, Season 9, Episode 3: Germany’s Frankfurt and Nurnberg, 2016) #RickSteves #RickStevesEurope #Germany #Ricktok #Nurnber

Versailles offers three blockbuster sights. The main attraction is the palace itself, called the Château. Next come the expansive Gardens behind the palace, a landscaped wonderland crossed with footpaths and dotted with statues and fountains. Finally, at the far end of the Gardens, is the pastoral area called the Trianon Palaces and Domaine de Marie-Antoinette (a.k.a. Trianon/Domaine), a vast walled enclosure designed for frolicking blue bloods and featuring several small palaces and Marie’s Ham
