A Quick Overview on Historical Architecture in Europe
When you take tours in European cities with professional tour guides, history will probably be the topic the guide will discuss the most. But something you will hear a great deal of the historical architecture. Tragically, so much of it was destroyed by war, especially during the bombings during World War II. Many of the city centers were literally wiped out, and with a few exceptions (Paris being one), so you will see these architectural wonders alongside of a block of sixty year old buildings that were obviously thrown up in a hurry.
