In almost every historic city that you visit, there will be an old town area where the buildings have been preserved. There is often another part of the city that is new and modern and they are usually in different parts of the city so that the traffic associated to tourists and that of the businesses can be kept separate from one another. Every now and then, though, you will find a historic building right in the middle of the modern skyscrapers. It is often a church, but not always as it could just be a historic landmark.

We find the contrasts to be so striking that we often pause to take a variety of photographs to capture the differences and similarities between the old and the new<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
