Travelling the world, you rarely need to look far to encounter traces of the past. Our cities, towns and villages are built like layer cakes which ooze with history. The more you dig into the past, the more fascinating the discoveries become.
PastInThePresent.net was founded with the very simple aim of showcasing the history on display across the world today. From age-old traditions that continue year after year to buildings constructed hundreds of years ago, it really is hard to escape the joys of the past.
Past In The Present
