Old buildings, Ruins, Castles, Walls, anything old interest me. The desire to find the time to travel and explore is almost urgent. Like a junkie needing a quick fix, a trip back to Ireland, or the Czech Republic, is now in order.
To make matters more urgent we see this.
And now it is announced that what may be one of the oldest Christian Church may have been found, in a prison in Israel of all places.
Prisoners helped discover one of Christianity's earliest churches when they took part in an archaeological dig inside one of Israel's top security jails.
A large and superbly preserved mosaic with a Greek inscription referring to the "Lord Jesus Christ" and featuring two images of a fish - an early Christian symbol - was discovered during renovation work inside the prison at Megiddo, thought to be the modern name for the biblical site of Armageddon.
Just another place I would love to visit, to see what existed there thousands of year ago, and how it has survived to this day.

I watched it last night it is very good. You are right the old town wall and the abandoned cities woudl be fun to explore.
"was discovered during renovation work inside the prison at Megiddo, thought to be the modern name for the biblical site of Armageddon."
I wonder if this will set off the end-of-the-world fundies.
