The Georgian capital Tbilisi is a hospitable city full of joy. It is located on the banks of the Kura River, at the intersection of the main trade routes between Europe and Asia. Previously, Tbilisi was called Tiflis, but its current name is due to the hot sulfur springs: "tbili" means "warm" in Georgian. Everyone who enters the local streets inevitably feels the spirit of ancient history: the city was founded in the 5th century. Over the centuries of its existence, Tbilisi has repeatedly been subjected to raids, arson and devastation, but each time it came back to life. Today the city continues to develop rapidly, carefully preserving its unique culture. The most interesting areas for tourists are the Old Town, Avlabari and Mtatsminda, where the main attractions and the most expensive hotels with restaurants are located. The rest of the city is actively being built up with new houses and does not represent significant historical value. The heart of Tbilisi is the Old City, or, as it is also called, Kala, which has existed since the 5th century. This is the area between the coast of the Kura and the Narikala fortress, protected by fortress walls in ancient times. It is in the Old City that the main attractions of the Georgian capital are concentrated: the Zion Cathedral, the Anchiskhati temple, the Narikala fortress with perfectly preserved towers and the Church of St. Nicholas. There are also legendary sulfur baths and Baratashvili Avenue with unusual sculptural compositions, the most famous of which depicts folk dances "berikaoba".

The island castle Boldt, whose pointed turrets are reflected in the St. Lawrence River, is very popular with lovers of elegant architecture.

At the end of the 20th century, the construction of Castello di Amorosa began in California, which is a very exact copy of the Italian castle in Tuscany.

Not far from the San Isabel Sanctuary in Colorado there is a very unusual Bishop Castle, which was built by a single person.

In that collection - the most beautiful waterfalls of the United States, completely different, not similar to each other. Some of them are cascading, others are peacefully falling into deep-water lakes or flow directly into the ocean, simple and complex, high and stormy, there are those that do not freeze even in extreme cold, but they are the other way around, they turn into huge snow-white icicles in winter.

Many waterfalls are fanned by legends and myths. But all without exception - water wonders that play moon rainbows in the sun against the backdrop of beautiful natural landscapes.

A powerful fountain of hot water and steam from the earth - have you ever seen this? If this happens under your windows, then most likely you need to urgently call the emergency service. But in nature, this phenomenon is called a geyser.
