Wow... What a nice place? It is always more interesting to travel a place when you know a little bit history. You can relate to the structures and travel through time.
In the near future, MR(Mixed Reality) will allow us to see the ruins intact and also provide the information about the place.
Knowing the history of a place makes the journey much more interesting. That's why I watched documentaries on the Medici Family before the trip and bought a book about Michelangelo which I took on my trip to read. It makes me appreciate all these magnificent architecture and art much more.
Ya, that's an interesting way to travel the world.
