Rundetarn (Rundetaarn) is a 17th century tower located in Copenhagen, Denmark. The tower is part of the Trinitatis complex, which was built to provide the scholars of the time with an astronomical observatory, a student church and a university library. One of his most well-known buildings, Rundetarn was built upon request from King Christian IV and designed by architect Hans Steenwinckel the Younger. The foundation stone was laid on July 7, 1637, and the tower was finished in 1642. The Trinitatis church was not finished until 1656, and the library not until 1657. The observatory (which is the oldest functioning observatory in Europe) and the library were used by the University of Copenhagen until 1861. Astronomers having used the observatory include Ole Rømer (1644-1710) and Peder Horrebow (1679-1764). Back when it was first built, it was for the students who lived in little dormitories to study in the observatory and the library. Copenhagen is one of top vacation destinations.

Mala Strana, both meaning in English literally “Little Side”, though more frequently referred to as “Lesser Town”, “Lesser Quarter”, or “Lesser Side”) was originally a popular and nowadays also the official name for “The Lesser Town of Prague”, one of Prague’s historical and oldest boroughs. Its name comes from its position on the left (west) bank of the river Vltava, on the slopes just below the Prague Castle, in opposition to the larger towns of Prague on the right bank, to which it is conjoined by the Charles Bridge. In the Middle Ages, it was a dominant centre of the ethnic German citizens of Prague. It also housed a large number of noble palaces while the right-bank towns were comparatively more bourgeois and more Bohemian Czech. The famous Czech novelist Jan Neruda was born, lived in and wrote about Mala Strana; Nerudova Street is named after him. The Petřín lookout tower is located in Mala Strana. The famous statue of the Holy Infant Jesus of Prague is located in the Church of Our Lady Victorious in Mala Strana, Prague. The devotion and the church drew millions of Roman Catholic faithful to Mala Strana throughout the years. Top vacation destinations.

Diocletian’s Palace is a building in Split in Croatia that was built by the emperor Diocletian at the turn of the fourth century AD. The Latin name of the city, Spalatum, was drawn from that of the nearby Greek colony Aspalathos, which in turn was named after a white thorn common in the area. Contrary to popular belief, it has nothing to do with the Latin word for palace, palatium. Croatia is one of top vacation destinations.
