Elisha Mirza - In the 16th century, the Rohtas Fort was constructed at a key location in the Punjab Province of northern Pakistan. It is a remarkable example of early Muslim military construction in central and southern Asia. The primary defenses of this 70-hectare fortress are made up of enormous masonry walls that are more than four kilometers in circumference. They are lined with 68 bastions and have twelve colossal entrances punctuated in key locations. The fort had a significant impact on the evolution of architectural style in the Mughal Empire since it combined artistic and architectural traditions from other Islamic countries.

A huge ancestral Puebloan settlement is located here and built into the cliff sides. It was lived in from about 450ce to 1300ce. I learned about this in high school and immediately got attached to the architecture and agricultural system of the ancient Pueblos. I remember learning they built their farms at the top of the cliffs so the plants would get sun and the water would drain off the sides when it rained for natural irrigation. I think nowadays they put lanterns in the windows of the dwellings at night so that people can see what it would have looked like when people lived there. Pueblo people now do not live in the region. According to the UNESCO site it was the first archaeological site in the world to be protected as a national park before the national park service was created ! -Lila

A site initially for commerce becomes a site for intellectual and cultural exchange. Its physicality develops the pluralism that cimes with the participation in a global economy. It’s Roman architecture still stands and cradles the many exchanges of ideas from the many nations that passed through or exchanged their values through the port. As UNESCO writes “Its urban form represents the success of philosophers who wanted to make towns into melting pots of humanism, universality and culture.”

There was a lot of cultural transformation that occurred in Chichen Itzá as a result of conquests, most significantly being the conquest of Yucatan in 1526. Acculturation can be noticed by the style blending in the architecture with the development of Maya and Toltec traditions. The gradual abandonment of this area makes it all the more important to remember-- Chicken Itzá is a remarkable symbol of indigenous power in pre-conquest Mexico.

Old Town Corfu is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. What specifically caught my eye was how different it looked from other places in Greece. The pastel buildings and narrow winding streets felt more Latin (Italian, Spanish) than Greek. The old fortresses are so big, beautiful, and very well preserved. The mix of Venetian, French, and British styles made the town feel very special. By Maya Ron
