148 - Palau de la Música Catalana and Hospital de Sant Pau, Barcelona

The entrance to this fantastic piece of architecture.

149 - The Loire Valley between Sully-sur-Loire and Chalonnes

150 - Brasilia

I had the opportunity to take a weekend trip to this fantastic city while I was on a 2 weeks business trip to Scania in Brazil. This town is a real dream for someone interested in architecture. You really need to post > 10 pictures to show the glory of this city

🙂

Congresso Nacional

151 - Mudejar Architecture of Aragon

Me and my father took a trip by car to the small city of Teruel to experience some of the buildings belonging to this heritage. We had a really lovely time in this city with a nice stay at the nearby Parador.

152 - Historic Walled Town of Cuenca

After the visit to Teruel we continued our journey to the town of Cuenca. Spain really have a lot of these special towns built in harmony with nature. The city is really built to fit the environment.

153 - Roskilde Cathedral

Not one of my most memorable visits, but we had nice weather and the team consisting of myself, my brother and my father had a great time together

154 - Stevns Klint

We really couldn´t have had better weather this time of the year. We really enjoyed walking around in this area with great views and a lot of interesting history about the earth to learn about.  

155 - City of Vicenza and the Palladian Villas of the Veneto

Start of a, as usual, lovelly trip to "bella Italia".

A lot of nice buildings in this city and it´s surroundings. I had such a nice weather for walking a lot this day.

156 - Botanical Garden (Orto Botanico), Padua

This is a nice mixture of really old style "herb" garden and new innovative exhibitions.

My main memory from this visit are the old "plants" still alive !

157 - Venice and its Lagoon

One of the places on earth that you have to visit.

A lot of tourists, but if you can find your own way in yhe backyard it is really fantastic.

Walked a lot on streets not mentioned in any guidebook.

158 - Fagus Factory in Alfeld

A site you would have missed if it wasn´t on the list.

Great architecture and a lot to learn about the shoe industry and design.

159 - St Mary's Cathedral and St Michael's Church at Hildesheim

One of the few moments you didn´t think it was worth going to visit the sight. The town and living was OK so it was´t waste of time 

160 - Collegiate Church, Castle, and Old Town of Quedlinburg

A really nice old German village. You can walk around in this city and experience the old way of living. A lot of tourists but if you can find another way, as I did, it´s worth the visit.

161 - Þingvellir National Park

Me and my father took this trip to Iceland that we both have dreamed for some time.

We were not disappointed.

The trip during this day was guided by a lovelly woaman from the middel of Sweden but moved to Iceland some 15 years ago. She really made the day a true winner. All our hearts to her

162 - Champagne Hillsides, Houses and Cellars

A really new inscibition.

I was  in Epernay some years ago, but now I can reclaim this officially.

The premises of Pommeray ais really astonishing !

163 - Cathedral of Notre-Dame, Former Abbey of Saint-Remi and Palace of Tau, Reims

I have visited sooooo many Cathedrals during my time travelling around.

This is not one of my favorites but still nice.

164 - Amiens Cathedral

There is no picture in the world that can desribe this Cathedral.

Lived close by it, breath it and enjoyed it.

My favourite Cathedral going forward in my search !

165 - Belfries of Belgium and France

I have visited 5 of those Belfries on the list. Some are universal and others are more mediocre.

166 - Fortifications of Vauban

My visit was limited to one sight. I hope the others are more exciting !

167 - Nord-Pas de Calais Mining Basin

I think this was my longest walk to get where I wanted, I really enjoyed this walk since I saw a lot on my way there.

Still not a top experience.

 

168 - Notre-Dame Cathedral in Tournai

The Cathedral was undergoing a major refurbishment so it didn´t look so nice. The city though was really worth the visit

🙂

169 - Major Mining Sites of Wallonia

Once again I just visited one of many locations on this site. It did not get me too excited.

170 - The Four Lifts on the Canal du Centre and their Environs, La Louvière and Le Roeulx (Hainault)

This sight is an engineering masterpiece. Wonderful day walking around these surroundings.

171 - Neolithic Flint Mines at Spiennes (Mons)

Started out as a long walk and ended up with talking to scientists !

The most clear memory I have from this visit was talking to the archaeologists that I have had the opportunity to talk to.

Really intersesting to hear about their searches.

 

Findings just now being checked !

172 - Flemish Béguinages

Visited this site in Mechelen. This turned out to be quite a nice city overall.

The area included in the heritage was not one of the most exiting sites I have been to but still worth the visit.

173 - Plantin-Moretus House-Workshops-Museum Complex

In the heart of the nice city of Antwerp i visited this fantastic house.

Really one of the interesting visists I have done with many objects from the early days of printing books

174 - Cathedral, Alcázar and Archivo de Indias in Seville

The last visit of the year was to the beatiful city of Seville.

During the 2 days we had here we visited all the 3 inscibed properties
