Hi Patchy! Welcome to Greece!
This is the Parthenon, one of the most important ancient buildings in the world. It stands on the Acropolis of Athens, high above the city.
The Parthenon was built almost 2,500 years ago to honor Athena, the goddess of wisdom and protector of Athens. It was made of white marble and decorated with beautiful sculptures showing scenes from Greek myths. Even though it has been damaged over time, it still shows the skill, creativity, and power of ancient Greek civilization!

It consists of an entrance hall, a corridor and a burial chamber.

Hello, Patchy! Are you ready for a time-travel adventure in Romania? Welcome to Peleș Castle! This is where the movie “A Christmas Prince” (2017) was filmed.

Imagine a castle straight out of a fairy tale with princes and princesses, perched on a mountain (in Sinaia) and surrounded by a beautiful forest. Well, this castle is 100% real and it’s right here in Romania! When King Carol I built it (over 100 years ago), Peleș was the most modern place in all of Europe!

It had electricity! It was the first castle in Europe to have its own power source. While others were using candles, Peleș was flipping the light switch.

It had an elevator! An elevator just for the king and queen.

It had central heating! No one was cold, unlike in those old, chilly castles you see in movies.

Peleș Castle is like Romania’s “business card.” It’s a magical place.
