         <description><![CDATA[<p>Oxford, a city in central southern England, revolves around its prestigious university, established in the 12th century.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Edinburgh is a city in the United Kingdom and is one of the most populated cities in Scotland, of which it is the capital city.&nbsp;It is located on the east coast of Scotland, on the south shore of the Firth of Forth and is built on seven hills, like Rome.&nbsp;It is the second most visited city in Britain, with around two million tourists a year.&nbsp;The Edinburgh Festival, which is held annually and is accompanied by numerous events, also contributes to this success.&nbsp;The historic parts of the city, together with the Castle, have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995.&nbsp;It is famous for its stunning architecture, its Gothic buildings and the cobbled streets of the old town.&nbsp;Edinburgh is home to the Royal Mile: the most famous street that runs through the historic center connecting the Castle to the Palace of Holyrood.&nbsp;It is also considered one of the safest cities internationally.&nbsp;Every day, with the exception of Sundays, a cannon shot is fired from the Castle to indicate that 1 pm has struck.&nbsp;Edinburgh is, after London, the richest city in Great Britain.&nbsp;The economy is mainly based on the service sector such as tourism, education, research and banking.&nbsp;Edinburgh is home to one of the oldest universities in Scotland, founded in 1582, and considered as one of the largest and most prestigious universities in the United Kingdom. For this city my vote is five stars, because it is a clean environment, everything is so tidy and I really like its monuments. I would like to visit this place in the future.</p><p>⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p><p><strong>Cassandra Romano 1 E</strong></p>]]></description>

The tower has had different names depending on the historical periods. The first version connects it to Sir Benjamin Hall, while the second connects it to the champion Benjamin Caunt. </p><p>Initially the tower was to be called "Royal Victoria" in honor of the sovereign, but in 2012, it was renamed 'Elizabeth Tower', on the</p><p>occasion of the diamond jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II. </p><p>Big Ben is famous for having been the emblem of the resistance of the English in the Second World War and also because the clock is the most precise in the</p><p>world. For this reason, it is considered the greatest work of mechanical engineering.</p><p><br/></p><p><em>THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE TOWER</em></p><p>The tower is made up of 850 cubic meters of stone and 2600 of brick cubes. However, the bell weighs 13 tons and is 7.2 feet (2.2 meters) high, with a diameter of 8.9 feet (2.7 meters); the hammer weighs 200 kg. The clock is made up of 4 dials of 8 meters each.

         <title>Hadrian&#39;s Wall, Brampton, Regno Unito</title>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>Hadrian's Wall was a rich and vibrant place. It was a border, but it was also a place where borders were crossed. Here, soldiers and civilians from across Europe and North Africa met, traded and served together at the north-western frontier of the Roman Empire.</p><p><strong>3 Curiosities:</strong></p><p>- Hadrian’s Wall is not just a wall. Its signature feature was a continuous curtain wall of stone or turf, but in front was a ditch and sometimes other obstacles. Along the line of the Wall were turrets, small fortlets known as milecastles, and forts for larger garrisons. These were all linked by a military road. Running parallel a little further to the south were two large earthworks either side of a ditch, which together were called the vallum.</p><p>- It took around 15,000 men around six years to build the Wall.</p><p>It was built by legionaries: the citizen-soldiers of the Roman army. The army contained specialists in masonry, engineering and architecture.</p><p>It took units from all three of Britain’s legions to construct the Wall: the II Augusta based in Caerleon in South Wales, the VI Victrix from York and the XX Valeria Victrix from Chester – who were also once based around Wroxeter Roman City.</p><p>- The Romans brought burgers to the North East. Street stalls and “fast food” as we might think of it today came to Britain with the Romans. The famous cookbook Apicius (a compilation of recipes written by lots of different people) includes a recipe – Isicia Omentata in the original Latin – that looks a lot like a modern burger. The recipe uses minced pork, which was a popular meat in Roman Britain, flavoured with pepper, wine and garum (a rich fish sauce) and served with a wine sauce.</p><p><br/></p><p>My opinion:</p><p>⭐⭐⭐⭐</p><p><strong>Valentina Muraca 1 E</strong></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The Giant's Causeway or Giant's Road is a natural rock outcrop located on the north-east coast of Ireland, Northern Ireland. The Giant's Causeway is a promontory made up of approximately 40,000 hexagonal basalt columns of volcanic origin: it was created approximately 6 million years ago by a lava flow due to volcanic eruptions. Located in Northern Ireland, the Giant's Causeway is absolutely one of the most magical and original places in Ireland. The columns emerge from the sea creating dozens of original compositions along the coast beaten by the wind and noisy crashing waves, giving life to a poetic and infinitely exciting picture. This incredible rock formation is so evocative and precious from a naturalistic point of view that it has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1986. Legend has it that the giant Ulster warrior Fionn Mc Cumhaill fell madly in love with a Scottish giantess from the island of Staffa and to reach her he had built a stone road with his powerful hands, in order to be able to woo her every day. In reality, these unique stones are the result of an underground explosion dating back to 60 million years ago, which extended from the Causeway to Scotland, Staffa and the Isle of Mull: an immense mass of basalt lava which, cooling on the surface, solidified into such regular shapes.</p><p>My opinion:</p><p>⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p><p><strong>Maria Teresa Cetera 1 E</strong></p>]]></description>

This tram line is one of the oldest in the world. In fact, the Great Orme tram has been carrying passengers along its 3-stop route to and from Llandudno since the early 1900s. The Great Orme mines in Llandudno are considered to be the largest prehistoric copper mines in the world. These very narrow tunnels date back to the Bronze Age and feature a Victorian-era mine shaft 145 meters deep.</p><p>The Llandudno Cable Car takes passengers from the Happy Valley Botanical Gardens up to the Great Orme Summit Complex. The journey, which takes twenty minutes, offers breathtaking views of the Irish Sea. Conwy Castle is one of Llandudno's most impressive medieval castles. Built between 1277 and 1307, it features 2 barbicans and 8 impressive towers overlooking the Welsh countryside.

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The name Belfast derives from the Irish&nbsp;Béal Feirste.</p><p>Belfast&nbsp;is the principal city and port of&nbsp;Northern Ireland, standing on the banks of the&nbsp;River Lagan&nbsp;and connected to the open sea through&nbsp;Belfast Lough&nbsp;and the&nbsp;North Channel. Among surviving elements of the pre-Victorian town are the&nbsp;Belfast Entries, 17th-century alleyways off High Street, including, in Winecellar Entry, White's Tavern (rebuilt 1790); the elliptical First&nbsp;Presbyterian (Non-Subscribing)&nbsp;Church (1781–83) in Rosemary Street (whose members led the abolitionist charge against Greg and Cunningham);&nbsp;the Assembly Rooms (1769, 1776, 1845) on Bridge Street;&nbsp;St George's Church of Ireland&nbsp;(1816) on the High Street site of the old Corporation Church; and (although cut off by arterial roads) the oldest public building in Belfast,&nbsp;Clifton House&nbsp;(1771–74), the&nbsp;Belfast Charitable Society&nbsp;poorhouse&nbsp;on North Queen Street. In addition there are small sets of city-centre&nbsp;Georgian&nbsp;terrace.</p><p>The opening&nbsp;Victoria Square Shopping Centre&nbsp;in 2008 was to symbolize the rebound of the city centre since its days as a restricted security zone during the Troubles.</p><p>Since 2001, buoyed by increasing numbers of tourists, the city council has promoted a number of cultural&nbsp;quarters.</p><p>The&nbsp;Cathedral Quarter&nbsp;comprises much of Belfast’s old trade and warehousing district in the narrow streets and entries around&nbsp;St Anne's Cathedral, with a concentration of bars, beer gardens, clubs and restaurants (including two establishments claiming descent from the early town, White's and The Duke of York) &nbsp;and performance spaces (most notably the Black Box and&nbsp;Oh Yeah).&nbsp;It hosts a yearly&nbsp;visual and performing arts festival. The adjoining&nbsp;Custom House&nbsp;Square is one of the city's main outdoor venues for free concerts and street entertainment.</p><p>My opinion:</p><p>⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p><p><strong>Larissa Arianna Coman 1 E</strong></p>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<p>The Isle of Skye is the largest and northernmost of the major islands in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland. The island's peninsulas radiate from a mountainous hub dominated by the Cuillin, the rocky slopes of which provide some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in the country. Although has been suggested to describe a winged shape, no definitive agreement exists as to the name's origins.</p><p>At 1,656 km², Skye is the second-largest island in Scotland after Lewis and Harris. The coastline of Skye is a series of peninsulas and bays radiating out from a centre dominated by the Cuillin hills.</p><p>Portree in the north at the base of Trotternish is the largest settlement (estimated population 2,264 in 2011) and is the main service centre on the island. Broadford, the location of the island's only airstrip, is on the east side of the island, and Dunvegan in the north-west is well known for its castle and the nearby Three Chimneys restaurant.</p><p>The largest employer on the island and its environs is the public sector, which accounts for about a third of the total workforce, principally in administration, education, and health. The second-largest employer in the area is the distribution, hotels, and restaurants sector, highlighting the importance of tourism.</p><p>Skye is linked to the mainland by the Skye Bridge, while ferries sail from Armadale on the island to Mallaig, and from Kylerhea to Glenelg, crossing the Kyle Rhea strait on the MV Glenachulish, the last turntable ferry&nbsp;in&nbsp;the&nbsp;world.</p><p>My opinion:</p><p>⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐</p><p><strong>Christian Curcio 1 E</strong></p>]]></description>
