To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of the Mayans.
Nice trick to make ppl revel city they live in and possibly most of these ppl walk past it on semi regular basis so…
The western hemisphere isn’t just the Americas. It includes half of europe…
There are quite a few people in the western hemisphere that don’t even bat an eye when they walk past a 1000 year old building on their way to work every day.
For me the oldest building is just a random house from the 13 century.
I know what you mean. The oldest building i pass every day is from dates from 1250, but compared to the parts of Europe rich in architecture that’s not really very old…
Weve got Roman era ruins I think, but I cant find any info on the oldest standing building. Probably from the 13th-14th century.
An old church going back to the early 1800s, though that’s misleading.
The old part of the church is still there, but it’s been updated and expanded over the years so that the foundation under one part is all that’s original now.
Gamle Aker Kirke, church from 1150 (Oslo).
