Architecture in my native country is totally taken for granted. Civilians walk everyday by these magnificent sites which take a tourist to be pointing their camera in a direction for their eye to notice the frieze detail on a landmark.
As much as the young generations scream for modern architectural elements and interiors, the very foundation and total attraction in a city of yesteryear is the reminder of past civilizations.
As if such historical conquests gave birth to this gorgeous city. Sure there are arches of triumph to commemorate the victories, but long after the battles were won, the triumph rest on the opulent carvings, statues of galloping horses and ornate balconies, so well lit they command attention to the passerby.
