Book travel with crypto to Olavinlinna Castle


The building of Olavinlinna Castle began in 1475. The Danish-born founder of the castle, knight Erik Axelsson Tott, decided that a powerful fortification should be built to protect the strategically important Savo region. The history of Olavinlinna is a mixture of medieval arms clashing, cannons roaring and people doing everyday chores inside the security of the castle’s thick walls. Many centuries have passed and today Olavinlinna Castle is one of the most popular attractions in all of Finland and a symbol of the city of Savonlinna.


The accounts of the castle administrator have been preserved to our time. They represent a valuable source of information about the life of its inhabitants. For example, when Gustav Vasa ruled, all the inhabitants of the castle were divided into officials, artisans and soldiers. It is worth adding that the officials included a bailiff, clerks, gunsmiths and cooks.

After Finland became an autonomous part of the Russian Empire, the fortress lost its military significance. All guns from the fortress were transported to Vyborg. Olavinlinna has been used as a prison for several years. In 1917, the fortress returned to the Finns. From 1961 to 1975, the castle was reconstructed and it took its modern look.

Today's fortress Olavinlinna functions as a museum - one of the largest tourist centers in Finland, tours are devoted to the history of the castle and Orthodox icon painting.

Visit The Wonderland Of Natural Attractions, Costa Rica

Image
Costa Rica is a wonderland of natural attractions, with volcanoes, beaches, cloud forests, and unique wildlife. This is a country that appeals as much to birdwatchers and luxury focused travellers as it does to surfers and backpackers. The busy city of San Jose is home to the country’s best museums and lovely squares, but the real treasures lie beyond the capital, in the forests and small coastal villages. Endless stretches of beach line the Pacific Coast, with small towns that cater to surfers and sun seekers. Inland, the forest-covered mountains offer their own adventures, from volcanoes and waterfalls to ziplining and extraordinary wildlife viewing. Costa Rica also has shoreline on the Caribbean. While this is a lesser visited area of the country, it offers something a little different in terms of culture and attractions, and is known in particular as a breeding ground for green sea turtles.

Visit the Stavropoleos Monastery and Cotroceni Palace by Cryptocurrency hotel booking at XcelTrip

Image
Cotroceni Palace This palace has a fascinating history. It began as a monastery in the 17th century, after which it became the summer residence of King Carol I. Constructed from 1888-93 at the behest of Romania's first king, Carol I, Cotroceni Palace has since 1991 been the official residence of the Romanian President. Built on the site of a former monastery (the foundations and cellars of which remain, and form part of the tour of the palace), the palace was designed by a French team of architects, led by Paul Gottereau. The design would form something of a blueprint for Romanian domestic architecture for years to come. It served as the Bucharest residence of the Romanian royal family until 1939. The part that serves today as the president's office, and official home, however, was added after the great Bucharest earthquake of 1977, and bears the stamp of local architect Nicolae Vladescu. Part of the palace is open to the public, and can be visited on a tour.
