Toledo is the only city in Europe that preserves its medieval cobblestones intact in some streets, being able to walk on stones that have been there for more than 1,000 years. It's one of the few cities in the world that has its entire historic center declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. And it also has a good and excellently preserved walls, and the cathedral is one of the largest and most beautiful in Europe. Toledo is also known as "The Imperial City", since it was the capital where King Carlos I resided (Holy Roman Emperor Karl V for Germans), and was the Capital of the Spanish empire till King Felipe II moved it to Madrid in 1568. Greetings froms Toledo, Spain.

[@RyanShirley]

That's some super fascinating history. That's crazy that its streets still have the medieval cobblestones from so long ago! Thanks for sharing that :)

[@SiqueScarface]

Medieval cobblestone roads you find in many places in Austria and Germany. The whole town of Hall in Tirol, Austria for instance has only cobblestone roads inside the old city walls. Same goes for many East German towns, which in the time after World War II simply lacked the money to replace their cobblestone roads with tarmac, and today, they value the fact that they still have their medieval road network intact.

[@pg.ledesma]

You should explore Aachen and Monschau. Beautiful cities! Aachen has a long history of thermal water, the cathedral, charming old town. Monschau is just a few km away, you can say the entrance to the Eifel region. Really cute, especially in winter, when we hopefully have christmas markets again. But Germany is so big and has do much to offer (Nordsee, Ostfriesland, Ostsee, Lüneburger Heide, Sächsische Schweiz, Schwarzwald...so many great cities like Weimar, Köln, Berlin, München, Hamburg and so, so many more...)

[@marcelmoulin3335]

@@RyanShirley Goedemorgen Ryan. Thank you for your response. Visiting Middelburg is well worth your while. In 1600, Middelburg was the second city of the Netherlands. Profiting from a flourishing commerce, it became a city of majestic, impressive medieval architecture. On 17 May 1940, heavy fighting broke out between the French and Germans, and the ensuing firestorm ravaged the city centre. Hundreds of unique houses and buildings disappeared. Following that tragic moment, Middelburgers rebuilt and restored many of the buildings. Today, the town centre continues to tantalise the senses with its charming, inviting ambiance. Having returned in retirement to the fatherland in March 2019, I now live a life of utter bliss. No longer having a car, I feel liberated. I walk or cycle everywhere, and I have the impression... of living in paradise!
