The Theater of Faith

Prague

To the right of the entrance hangs a withered, black object. It is a human arm that has been there for over four hundred years. Legend says a thief tried to steal jewels from the altar. The statue of the Virgin Mary supposedly reached out and grabbed his limb.

A Prince's Final Guard

Venice

Venice often hired foreign noblemen to lead its armies. This kept military power out of the hands of local politicians. It was a clever system designed to prevent any single Venetian family from becoming too powerful.

Defending Westerplatte

Gdansk

This monument marks the exact location where World War Two began. On September 1, 1939, a German battleship opened fire on the Polish depot here. There were about 200 Polish soldiers stationed here. They were ordered to hold their position for just twelve hours. Instead, they survived intense bombing and shelling for seven full days.

The Bridge's Silent Guard

Budapest

A famous local legend surrounds these majestic beasts. Many people believe the sculptor forgot to carve tongues inside the lions' mouths. According to the story, a young boy noticed this flaw during the opening ceremony. The sculptor was supposedly so embarrassed that he jumped into the river. In reality, the tongues are there. They are simply tucked low and hard to see from the ground.

The Nine Layers of Troy

Turkey

The ruins in front of you are not from a single moment. They are a stack of nine different cities built one on top of another. This ground holds the evidence that the stories of Homer were anchored in a real place. Alexander the Great came here to sacrifice at the tomb of Achilles. Later, the Roman emperor Augustus ordered major renovations to honor the city's mythic past.
