a breath taking you of the acropolis. after what is in the us what i like most of all about the nightlife of athens is this mix of the ancient and the modern it's not just the view that makes this place special expect feeling of knowing that the ancient fenians also sat here and drank their wine and talked to each other just as we do. this in this line of i want to go around the corner of. the greek capital is a vibrant historical city still making history every day. and we stay on the topic of ancient greece as our next report features a trojan horse but this one wasn't built to conquer the city of troy and the ten year seeds it's a completely modern construction that serves a very different purpose in fact is just one of a whole range of wacky rooms on offer at the belgian hotel. we went along to

going to turn back the hands of time and travel to ancient rome if you ever wanted to walk through three errors of the city's history well then the place to go is the german city of dimes stot that's where studio courtyard has created a three d. reconstruction a rome through the ages. rome wasn't built in a day and neither were these cinematic reconstructions that document the attorney city's development over the millennia. before the steeple pie think rome offers us the blueprint for our life our way of life civilisation legislation politics everything that surrounds us architecture our understanding of the art of aesthetics it can all be traced back to this culture. and this is where rome was built at least the digital version that's been developed here at the fabric o.t.l.

studio in darmstadt. for many years its designers have been recreating a long gone worlds and they take great pride in their meticulous attention to detail. but even for specialists digitally replicating room was no easy task. a team of ten worked on the job for six months. just put it all fits into it consists of forty thousand residential buildings and two thousand villas and individual buildings countless temples eleven thermal baths it's enormous it's a city that even if you visited today would blow you away but even wouldn't form. in the challenge three areas were reconstructed showing ancient late imperial and renaissance your own always as true to life as possible an archaeologist is part of the team to help maintain precision but a little artistic freedom is allowed. in clear to you

a sense of it's not too difficult we're creative so of course imagination plays a significant role there's no doubt about that. and i think that what we do here can be compared to going on a goal oriented expedition p twenty for a. year has already undertaken numerous such expeditions the goal is always the same the viewer should be able to imagine what it would be like to actually be in those places. animations like these are usually created for film and television. fictitious snapshots of journeys into the past like stepping into a time machine was this a childhood fantasy. you. didn't grow up with that fantasy of course it was and it hasn't changed my whole life i've wanted that it's

a time machine would be the ultimate trip so. i virtual reality puts that trip within reach i hear a visit to the emperor's box in the coliseum is possible i don't really brave can even venture into the gladiators arena i i just. don't project is simply inexhaustible i guess all my employees could continue working on this model for the rest of their lives combined with interest sleeves and you could always uncover new aspects new insights if you keep digging into the details and will never be reached by. never used to come over and endure it's done you know this time. so it looks as if room even in the digital world is doing justice to its label as the eternal city.

and from the eternal city of rome we return to greener landscapes for our next report the great german poet johann both unfun good ones eloquently saying the praises of the garden kingdom of death ver that's located in the state of saxony on how it's been a unesco world heritage site since the year two thousand and one side from its historical importance it is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and enjoy its lush green landscapes. gliding calmly in a boat across billets lake is surely the most beautiful way to enter the garden kingdom of death of the let's pass the eighteenth century venus temple. and

fillets palace. architectural gems are scattered throughout the gardens which were created by a local princely or pull the third or prince france as he was known as a young man he travelled to england france and italy to widen his education. palace was designed to emulate the country houses of the english nobility it's germany's oldest neoclassical building and was the official residence of the prince and his wife louisa princess of brandenburg shit this was on hold as the unusual thing about this house was that it was always open for members of the public to visit just what was a kind of eighteenth century show how prince france wanted to use it to educate his subjects. guests actually came from all over europe including portugal and russia. and of course girder was also here. going from group to. the

park includes a network of canals and bridges since france was a firm believer in religious tolerance and the ideals of the enlightenment from certain points you can see both the synagogue and the catholic church of st peter. the prince was also very interested in flowers. although they were not at all typical for the kind of english landscape gardens that inspired the park. your album of yangon ornamental flowers are arranged here in tears like an affair to look and of course we've been faithful to the original design of the garden to look back then mediterranean species of flowers were arranged here in parts. so the visitors could see what the plants are like. unfold. right next to the flower theatre is the temple of flora which original and served as a music to dylan. uses

a loss of them bore the violent symbol made of flowers that you see here points directly at the gulf accounts which was the former home of the gardner. prince franz later moved in there himself to live with the daughter of his master gardener this flower bed is a symbol of fertility and aim to recreate the coffee house killing off this quarter horse the house has two facades the front is neo gothic while the rear is built in the gothic style of english tutors. like many of the buildings here it was designed by the prince's architect fleetly they had fun at munster off. a thirty minute walk through the grounds takes you to a small artificial island. its main feature is a stone building topped by europe's only artificial volcano it can even stage eruptions it was inspired by mount vesuvius which the prince was very fascinated by

when he visited italy france wanted his subjects to know what an erupting volcano was like. back at dulles palace the prince would entertain kinescope posers and writers. the banquet hall features original french table where from the eighteenth century. the paintings on the walls depict the prince's travels. every year the estate draws around a million visitors. this is and it's such a joy to walk around and just. it all end of. it all of us and yet natural that's very new but also historical i would like. being here i just makes us i'm happy to see all this. gondola
