What a wonderful trip with historical value and so much detail, another excellent visual story, well framed photography!
Outstanding views, imagine what this must have looked like before city was built, farming in the valley with panorama in all directions.
If I remember correctly in days gone by, homes of royalty, forts or places with defense structures, no one was allowed to build higher.
Invasions over the years make some countries extraordinary in history which you have shared showing past and present.
