Historical monuments and traveling...

The place i've been that lots of history maybe was the Mount Samat in Bataan. We have had our summer outing in one of the coves in Bataan and when we were on our way going back to Manila, we thought of dropping by in Mount Samat to see the Mountain that for us is very historical place and plays a role in Filipino - Japanese war.

I visited the national monument of my country a few months ago.

We have been in Mount Samat in Bataan that for us was full of history. It place role during Filipino - Japanese war. Many veterans in war died in this Mountain. With the help of this Mountain Filipino soldier who protect the country from Japanese spent time in this and this was one of the reason that they were not easily defeated by Japanese, But it falls in April that we celebrate it as legal regular holiday every April 9, The fall of Bataan.

Hii,
I had visited Taj Mahal (India). It was really very beautiful. Do you know Taj mahal is known as the symbol of love? If i get a chance would love to visit it again. Happy mylotting

I don't make a goal in visiting historical monuments. I don't understand people that spend their vacation visiting cities...
Just the last week I guided some friends across a geologically significant area that I know better. Some historically-wise interesting sites are also available to visit, so we also went and see them, as they were along the road.
A place I am happy to have visited is the former Roman capital of Dacia, the Roman province existing on Romania's territory during the first centuries AD.
I've also added a picture of me visiting the ruins

When I was studying for my BA in English and History, I had the chance to go on a college trip to the Renaissance Courts of Italy. One of the history lecturers led the trip, and we went to Padua, Mantua, Verona, Venice and Arqua, where the poet and humanist Petrarch lived out his last years. We saw some wonderful paintings, palaces and churches, but for me, the highlight of the trip was seeing Lord Byron's signature in the guest book at Petrarch's home. I just felt so close to the past, walking in the footsteps of two great poets. Arqua has changed very little, so we were seeing the same views they saw. Magical!

Back in college... i majored in history... and there were only like 8 of us in the class... so we usually organize our own outings... and we would go to historical places in the province... we enjoyed the travels a lot since it was very organized... and there was very little hassle... and no need for parent's permits because we were all above 18...

Hey bookreadermom08! I haven't visited a historical monument in a long time. We used to visit historical monuments all the time when my family and I used to travel. My daddy was in the Kiwanis Club and we took a lot of trips with it. There was always a convention somewhere. Also, he sold real estate and we would take trips with it, too. He also owned the credit bureau here in Jasper and we took trips with it, too. I know twice we saw Thomas Jefferson's home up in Virginia. We also saw the capitol building, the white house, and the smithsonian institute in Washington, D.C. We also saw the Liberty Bell up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. That's just to name a few. I don't have any plans for a vacation this summer. In fact, I haven't been anywhere in ten years due to money problems. I would like to go to New Echota in Georgia. I never have been there. There is a Cherokee Indian Reservation there and I'm very much into Indian stuff. I'm supposed to have some Cherokee Indian in me but I never have done a genealogy to find out for sure. One of these days I plan to. I know it takes a lot of time. I hope you have a very good vacation this summer and happy mylotting. Kathy.

The best monuments are the ones nature made. You can find all kinds of natural wonders in your own home state. I prefer the outdoors and hate hanging out in the city. I'd never plan a vacation that involved hanging out at statue of liberty or something. While I agree they are works of art, I just can't find myself spending hours looking at it.
