Marmaris Castle

posted by qcaldwell on 25 August 2010 at 16:02

The Marmaris castle dates backto the 3rd century BC and was constructed by the Ionians. The current structure is, i think about 500 yeatrs old and quite quaint in appearance. It's very pretty though and there are some lovely little alleyways of old houses grouped around the edge of the castle. The views from the castle are lovely too. Its open daily.

Grossmunster Cathedral

posted by hwilson on 25 August 2010 at 12:21

This Cathedral is the main landmark in Zurich and is really interesting. It was started in the 11th century but like most structures of its size from that time, took ages to complete and as a result displays a real range of styles with lots of romanesque and gothic elements.You can climb the tower for an unbeatable view of the town. The crypt was my favourite part of the cathedral. There's a great sculpture of Charlemagne there and you can also see music recitals.

Geneva Old Town

posted by bfryer on 25 August 2010 at 11:43

There are some lovely sights to be seen in the old town of Geneva. amongst these, the St Pierre Cathedral is definitely a highlight. It's free to get in though its worth paying the fee to climb the spire for the views. Place du Borg de Four is a lovely little square and has some great cafes and restaurants from which to do some people watching. The Town Hall is worth seeing too

Notre Dame

posted by jhenderson on 18 August 2010 at 16:34

The Basilica of Notre Dame is a wonderful piece of neo gothic archiecture and made me feel like I was on the Seine rather than in North America. You can climb the side towers for views over the town- getting up is quite an ordeal though. The main reason to visit this church, though, is that Celine Dion got married here!
