A few days ago, I visited the British Museum 🇬🇧 to study the incredible Parthenon sculptures—masterpieces that once adorned Athens’ most iconic monument. I also explored other treasures of the ancient world on display here.

I’m already working on new videos here in London, and they’ll be coming very soon 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿—so tell me in the comments: if you had one day in London, which place or building would you want me to cover? 👇

🏛️ And if you want to dive deeper into the story of the Parthenon and its sculptures, check out my video on the architecture of the Acropolis of Athens here: https://youtu.be/8ZDnv110iWo

Lately I’ve been exploring the south of France for a video I’m working on, and these small French towns are full of medieval mysticism 🏰 and Roman surprises: ancient theaters, amphitheaters, and triumphal arches, all set against the charming backdrop of French cafés ☕️🥖.

From Orange to Saint-Rémy, I’ve run into several of these monumental arches.

It’s remarkable how deeply the French were influenced by their Roman past: you see Roman-inspired constructions scattered all across this region. But Roman triumphal arches have shaped more than just France; their legacy extends across Europe and beyond 🌍.

Let me know in the comments which Roman site in France you’d love to visit! 👇

If you want to dive deeper into the history and meaning of triumphal arches, I talk all about it in my video on the Arc de Triomphe in Paris 🇫🇷, which you can watch right here: https://youtu.be/R8eb_a7gEcs

Since photos and videos aren’t allowed inside the Sistine Chapel, I created an extremely detailed 3D animation of the interior to show you every last detail of this iconic masterpiece up close. 🧱🎨

I’ve been working on this video for a while, and with the papal conclave taking place soon, it felt like the right time to dive into the history and meaning behind the chapel—one of the most important spaces in the Vatican.

The video will be up soon on my channel—stay tuned!

What’s one detail you’ve always wanted to see up close in the Sistine Chapel? (There’s still time to include it in the video 👀)

When talking about Egypt, most people think about the pyramids, and come up with countless theories and stories. 🏗️

But to me the pyramids—although undeniably iconic—are the least impressive thing about Egypt.

What truly left me speechless when visiting Egypt is the stuff that’s in the south, that is, the majestic temples, and the tombs in the Valley of the Kings, as well as the serenity of the Nile river. Every day you’re more astonished than the day before by the things you see there—the size of the architecture, the amount of art carved in every surface, the vibrant colors still glowing inside the tombs… And learning the story behind each detail really helps you grasp the depth of the most ancient civilization that the world has seen, and its deep roots in today’s culture. 🏛️

What place in Egypt intrigues you the most to visit? 🐊

A few months ago, I stood in awe of the original skyscrapers—the ancient wonders that still tower over us today: the pyramids of Egypt. Walking through their tunnels, I felt like stepping back in time. 🏛️

Although no mummies were found inside, the pharaohs’ stone sarcophagi still lie in the heart of these massive structures (check out my Giza video for a closer look) 👀.

There’s just something about Egypt that makes it so special and mystical. It could perhaps be that everything’s so ancient, or the stunning art and craftsmanship that embellish their buildings, especially impressive when you see the vibrant colors preserved inside some temples. But more importantly in my opinion, it’s the massiveness of the constructions, the monumental scale of them, combined with the mystical land of the Nile next to the hot desert, that makes visiting feel so much as if you’ve been transported to another time. 🌅

Comment below: If you could visit any ancient site, which one would it be? And which one would you love to see featured on my channel? 🌍👇

P.S. If you’re into Egyptian architecture, I’ve got a full playlist with videos that will take you on a journey through its greatest wonders! 🎥 Check it out here: www.youtube.com/playlist?list...

I visited every single building Michelangelo ever designed to bring you the next video. From Rome to Florence, I explored his architecture up close—his bold ideas, his unconventional approach, and the way he reshaped Renaissance architecture.

It’s coming soon, and I can’t wait to share it with you!

Here are glimpses of some of the places I visited—do you recognize any of them? (My smile in the last photo is because I was about to step into the Medici Library!)

I’ll be reading through the comments to see which buildings interest you the most!

Two years ago, I made a video exploring the art of Michelangelo—his sculptures, his paintings, his unmatched genius. It became one of the most popular videos on my channel, and at the end, I promised a Part 2.

Well, it’s finally happening.

I’m working on “Understand Michelangelo Part 2”, where I’ll dive into his architecture—the way he shaped Rome and Florence, and how he applied the same principles to buildings that he used in his sculptures and paintings.

Stay tuned…

If you haven’t seen Part 1 (or want a refresher), watch it here: https://youtu.be/ioVNFqQ5Zlg

Which of Michelangelo’s works is your favorite?
