29. Pitigliano, Italy
Pitigliano, in Tuscany, seems to rise from a volcanic tufa ridge between Rome and Florence. People have lived here since the famed Bronze Age. An experienced eye will note the evidence of the town’s Roman and Etruscan past, as well as several different medieval structures. It also includes a Jewish community harking back to the 1300s complete with ancient baths and synagogue. There are also lots of caves and old underground tunnels here.
30. Bonifacio, Corsica
Bonifacio is the oldest town in all of Corsica. Since approximately AD 830 it has been perched on the isle’s rough limestone cliffs. The homes here appear to be dangerously dangling over the sea as the water has been eroding the cliff base over the years. See the fortified old town, the pretty port, and–if you’re stout of heart–attempt to climb the steep 187-step Staircase of King Aragon Alfonso V which was carved into the cliff so long ago.
Hey! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect against hackers? I’m kinda paranoid about losing everything I’ve worked hard on. Any suggestions?
