XIII Century Acqueduct, Perugia. This acqueduct brought water from Monte Faggiano to the city center of Perugia, due to manutention problems in the early 19th century a more modern acqueduct was built and the mediaval one was turned into a pedestrian streen. That's the particularity of this acqueduct turned street, you can walk inside the remnants of the old structure and even access to nearby houses just like you would in any other street

I've never been to The Maritimes yet, so I'm not really familiar with the area. Someone who knows may answer.

I do know that in Newfoundland and Labrador, St John's has a section of colourful houses as well as you can se below.

Karst, Friuli Venezia Giulia. The karst region is right on the border with Slovenia and is mostly made up by rocky highlands dotted by ravines, grottoes and shrubs which turn red once Autumn comes. These shrub make for a spectacular and unusual scenery

Alouette Lake in Golden Ears Provincial Park. It's located an hours drive from downtown Vancouver, or just minutes away if you live in the suburb of Maple Ridge.

Tindari is a former Greek, Roman and Byzantine settlement and nowadays it hosts a quite large and well kept archeological site. The place is more well known for its sanctuary though. It was first established by the Byzantines but the actual structure was only built in the XVI century in Baroque style but even more known and stunning than the sanctuary are the Tindari lagoons. The size and shape of these lagoons varies anytime there's a sea storm or strong winds.

Tindari Lagoon, Sicily:
