🥇 Castle of Saint Pelagio and its gardens / Замок Святого Пеладжіо та його сади ( En / Ua ) by @rosanna-brava

"I also wanted to show you the bathtub for bathing in the middle castle. These are the first baths that were built in medieval castles. You can see the steps used to go down and the seats. I understand that hot water was poured there.

🥈 Mt. Manunggal: Climbing Cebu's third highest peak and my first glimpse of Balamban's beautiful highlands by @mariasalve

"The highlight of our hike was the peak of Mt. Manunggal, which was a few meters away from the campsite. The trail to the base was a winding ascent and descent in a jungle of lush bushes and protruding roots. It was generally easy, except for the final sections of the trail where there were narrow and sharp rocks. There were also stingy foliage that we had to be wary of when hauling ourselves up."

🥉 [ENG/ITA] Visiting Lucignano, the Pearl of Valdichiana by @arc7icwolf

"As always in such cases, especially when the streets tend to be almost empty, the impression is to suddenly find yourself catapulted back several centuries, into the midst of the Middle Ages, as you walk through narrow streets and discover peculiar corners, including definitely narrow houses, corners decorated with a thousand different items, collections of succulent plants and sculptures dedicated to the Virgin Mary."
