Readers response: Are there any particular museums or historical sites that have made a lasting impression on you?

When travelling around the world, some museums, attractions and historical sites can have more of a lasting impact than others. 

We asked our readers if there are any particular places that have had a lasting impression on them while travelling, and the response was overwhelming. Here's what they said. 

Anne Hare - The Alhambra in Granada, Spain. Absolutely beautiful. Don't miss it!

Sandra Beckett - Seemingly little known, but the British Library in London has an absolutely jaw-dropping permanent exhibition of literature. Original handwritten manuscripts from famous authors through the ages. Wonderful for book lovers.

Jackie A Morris - St Paul's Cathedral London. Not being one to get into churches, but I went there as my son asked me to. I was in awe, managed the climb to the spire as well. Etched in my memory.

Christine Taylor - The Pantheon is certainly up there.

Tony Hallam - The Colosseum in Rome. I was in awe knowing i was standing in the place where gladiators had stood and fought 2000 years ago.

Pamela Rigby - In Flanders Fields, Ypres, Belgium.

Kris White - Killing Fields in Cambodia, chilling and desperately sad.

Gayle Morris - Stonehenge and the Cliffs of Moher.

George Jamieson - The statue of David in Florence, out of this world!!!

Jim Janush - Museo De La Revolución, Havana, Cuba.

Margie Buckingham - The Uluṟu rock base at sunset- its eerie silence is unnerving.

Steve Gerreyn - Cathedral of Seville. Magnificent.
