Travelling the world I saw how valuable our heritage is and how important it is to all people. I found various treasures – I found myself standing before stone fortresses, or looking at monasteries, hidden in the mountain. Sometimes I came across picturesque settlements, sometimes I fell upon large towns. Everywhere I was met by the good-hearted people – they served me tasty meals, told legends, they sang and danced. So I gradually realized that in order to find treasures I needed to be able to recognize them. Around the world there is great diversity of treasures, created by man during different periods. Here I will help you distinguish among some of the major types.
