A Day of Architecture, Photography & Bargain Hunting After tagging along with my brother and mum for a short visit, I couldn’t help but notice the stunning architecture.

A day well spent, filled with history, creativity, and a bit of treasure hunting—definitely worth the trip! 📸🏛️📚 Album on Flickr - https://www.flickr.com/photos/me-behindthelens/albums/72177720323537115
