'Ksar' or 'Ksour' (plural), is the North African Meghrebi Arabic term for 'castle'. This fortified granary ksar was constructed on top of a hilltop in the 11th century as a means of protecting the site from raiding parties during this time. It has been abandoned since the 1960's, and is now a tourist destination in the Nalut district of Western Libya.©

This small mountain village near the riverside of Río de las Vueltas within the Los Glaciares National Park, was built in 1985 to assist in securing the disputed border with Chile. It now exists purely as a tourist destination, providing national park information, commercial camping with showers, and even a small number of beds for backpackers. The town is quite remote from regular news and communication flow, with few shops and restaurants accessible for tourist trade.©

One of the most visited sites in Prague, the Charles Bridge (Karlův most), known as the Stone Bridge (Kamenný most) prior to 1870, connects the Old Town with the Lesser Town (Mala Strana) and Prague Castle. The foundation stone of the bridge was laid in 1357 and commissioned by the Czech King and Holy Roman Emperor, Charles IV. It is said that egg yolks were mixed into the mortar during construction of the bridge as a means of strengthening it.©
