Histories are usually related to grand cities, fortresses and old historical landmarks. However, there are places in the world that hold intriguing stories about history and traditions that are kept alive, where houses of the past are still being inhabited by people and landscapes have been altered very little throughout many years. Villages that have survived through centuries, wars, natural catastrophes and the development of modernity, and where everything is the same as it was many years ago.
These villages range from snow-white farmhouses in Japan to dramatic Norwegian fishing villages, from medieval streets of France to centuries old fortress of Morocco. If one likes exploring World Heritage sites, stunning architecture and beautiful landscape, this list is perfect for everyone’s bucket list.
