A few Photos of European cities, before they were destroyed by war and disfigured by modernist zealots.
Paris, still much the same I think!
Luxembourg
Louvain
Lisbon, still much the same, although some buildings have been replaced by concrete lumps.
Bellagio
Innsbruck
Granada, still much the same, but last time I was here, it was full of African immigrants trying to push DVDs on to me.
House backed onto cathedral in Rouen.
Segovia
Sienna, still thankfully a beautiful place, It looked exactly like it does here when I went there a few years ago.
Trier
Turin
Ypres, poor old place. It's probably a big lump of concrete now!
Vienna
Warsaw, unfortunately, this city was raised to the ground in the Second World War. All this is gone!
Utrecht
Nuremberg, such a beautiful place!
Florence, another perfect place, thankfully little touched by modernity.
Frankfurt am Main, another city ravaged by war.
Brugges
Bordeaux
Algiers
Berlin, another great and beautiful city reduced to rubble in the Second World War.
All photos are taken from Carfree Cities.
