This cathedral looks like a fantasy.

But it wasn't built for beauty — it was built to intimidate.

Its design was meant to mirror Heaven itself — and send a divine warning to Russia’s enemies. 🧵 Saint Basil's Cathedral, Moscow, Russia
Ivan the Terrible ordered the construction of Saint Basil's Cathedral after conquering Kazan in 1552 — a major victory against the Tatars.

It was completed on the same day as the Feast of the Intercession of the Virgin.

The original name? The Cathedral of the Intercession of the Virgin by the Moat.Image
The moat in question once surrounded the Kremlin.

The cathedral was the first structure built on it — and redefined Red Square’s skyline.

Before that, the Kremlin towers didn’t even have pyramidal roofs. Image

Hungary is quietly leading Europe with one of the richest cultural legacies on the continent.

This building was built in the last 125 years... It is the Hungarian Parliament Building.

It’s only one of many architectural marvels built recently that make it a cultural powerhouse. 🧵Hungarian Parliament Building in Budapest, Hungary Credit: Rob de Wilde
1. St. Stephen's Basilica, Budapest (1905)

Inside this grand neoclassical church is a mummified right hand—the actual hand—of Hungary’s first king.

The dome offers one of the best 360° views in Europe. Interior of St. Stephen’s Basilica, Budapest, Hungary Credit: pinterest /pin/707698528989029051/
2. Fisherman’s Bastion, Budapest (1902)

Looks like a medieval fortress, right?

It’s not. It was built in 1902—purely for the view.
And what a view. Fisherman's Bastion, Budapest, Hungary Credit: Vhisine

Today, I hit 100 subscribers—and every one of them means more than a number.

They have encouraged me, challenged me, and opened my world to new places, cultures, and friendships I never saw coming.

Here are some of their favorite travel destinations. 🧵 Palazzo Mocenigo in Venice, the Museum of Textiles and Costumes. Credit: LuxuryColumnist
According to @WestWisdom1215, "Barcelona is the sort of city that has something for everyone. From its spectacular food to the historic architecture, to the genre varied art, to the stunning natural scenery - there really is an abundance of riches." Image

For @Shelli_BH, "My travel goals have changed over the years, and now I like returning to the same places because I love it when they start to feel familiar. Venice is my favorite place to come back to — especially the little bits of “real” Venice that still exist away from the tourist track."Image

Hungary is doing what no other Western nation dares: restoring the foundations of civilization.

The changes they are making are a model for the rest of the West ... Let me explain… 🧵

Family is the backbone.

1. No income tax for women with at least two children for life.

One-child mothers under the age of 30 are exempt from income tax.Hungarian children wearing folk costumes Credit: Ancient Hungary
2. Support for mothers who stay at home or need to work.

"We will be a tax haven for millions of women who choose to make their family a career."
-President Orban Image
3. Housing incentives for young couples.

Offers a low interest loan for couples raising or committing to having one child or more.

While others fund illegal immigration to increase population, Hungary is rewarding its citizens for population growth. Image

The Silk Road was the pulse of empires, carrying silk, spices, and secrets that shaped the world.

Today, we walk the footprints of merchants, scholars, and wanderers to uncover the legendary cities that made this road unforgettable. 🧵 The Ark of Bukhara Credit: @fopminui on X
The Journey Begins

To trace the Silk Road from Xi’an to Venice was to follow a thread woven through deserts, mountains, and thriving metropolises.

Each stop along the way was a crossroads where cultures collided, ideas flourished, and fortunes were won or lost. Image
1. Xi’an, China

The gateway to the Silk Road.

Here, in the shadow of Emperor Qin’s Terracotta Army, traders gathered in bustling markets, their silks and spices scenting the air.

Deals were struck in a dozen languages—Persian, Arabic, Sanskrit—while caravans prepared for the long journey west.

Most people think Baroque architecture is just gold, curves, and excess.

But it is much more than that—Baroque pushed architecture to the limit, even defied gravity.

Here are some gems you haven't heard of. 🧵👇 Doria Pamphlij, Rome
1. Melk Abbey, Austria

Perched above the Danube, this abbey is Baroque perfection.

A dazzling library, gilded halls, and frescoes so intense they seem to pulse with light. A true masterpiece of Austrian Baroque.
2. Sant’Ivo alla Sapienza, Rome, Italy

Borromini at his strangest.

A star-shaped church with a corkscrew dome that twists into the sky. The floor plan alone is a puzzle that architects still marvel at.
