Hi everyone it's @LivingUKTaiwan here with today's edition of the #TravelDigest. Today we shall start our Pinmapple virtual trip around the world with a walk around an Argentine neighborhood. Our next two Pinmapple posts are about historical buildings. One is a military one in the Philippines that dates back to the 17th century, and the other is a 14th century castle in Romania. Enjoy!
" Classic courtyard of an old conventillo, this part always reminds me of an old Argentine play, El conventillo de la paloma, tender and sweet story if there is one, mixing just what happened here, Italians, Spaniards, young women, lonely, misunderstandings, information and suspicion. It is a really funny play if you ever have the opportunity to read it or see a theater adaptation."

" Aside from the thick, mossy, and dark battlements or walls that guard Fort Pilar, everything else inside looks like it was either built or reinforced to fit modern-day architecture. Upon entering Fort Pilar, I instantly noticed two things. One is that judging by the shape and the materials used in the infrastructures inside Fort Pilar, there's no way these buildings were the original buildings erected in 1635. "

" Recreating what was going on once down there is humanly impossible, but there were drawings illustrating what they did to those caught on the wrong side of the action. I'm not sure how much you know about those days, but legislation was not what it is today, one testimony as enough from an alleged witness and you could hang. Money and power was ruling."
