What a fascinating place! It almost looks like somewhere that the Roman buildings came to die, but with the help of my friend the history buff he brought the whole thing to light and I really enjoyed it. Thanks Sam!!

GULAG History Museum

This place made such an impression on me, to think, people were working in labour camps here in my lifetime, it's just astonishing. Nicely juxtaposed against the high-end shops on the same road! Good irony.

The highlight of a trip here is the building itself, large, showy and beautiful. You can also learn about the symbolism of architecture in DC (washington monument anyone...?) if you can stop gawping long enough.

Wow what a fascinating building with an astonishing history. It was built in 1660 and has been slave quarters, a brothel and a supreme court!! Amazing place.

It was amazing to be here in this historic place. The museum was so interesting and I loved the Acropolis and of course the Parthenon was the absolute highlight.
