Introduction:- Duniya ek ajeeb aur rangin kitaab ki tarah hai, jisme har page ek nayi kahani sunata hai. Ye kahaniyan humein na sirf purane zamane ka pata deti hain, balki humein ye bhi samjhati hain ki aaj hum jahan hain, wahan tak pahunchne ke liye insaniyat ne kitna lamba safar tay kiya hai. Isi safar ki yaadein aur saboot humein milte hain Historical Sites se, or aaj ham isi rangeenta ki kitab mei janenge World ke Sabse Mashhoor Historical Sites. Ye historical sites na sirf ek desh ki pehchaan hoti hain, balki poore insani sabhyata ka darpan hoti hain.
Har historical site ek khidki hai, jisse hum apne poorvajon ke zindagi ke tareeqe, unke dharmik vishwas, aur unke kala-kushalta ka anand lete hain. Sochiye, bina kisi modern technology ke, bina machine ke, sirf apne haathon se logon ne aisi shandar imaratein banayi jo aaj bhi zinda hain. Yehi wajah hai ki World ke Sabse Mashhoor Historical Sites hamesha logon ko apni taraf kheenchti hain.
Tourism ke point of view se bhi historical sites bahut important hoti hain. Ye ek mulk ke liye izzat, pride aur economy ka strong pillar banti hain. Har saal crores ke tourist sirf in wonders ko dekhne ke liye aate hain, aur saath hi apne saath ek nayi kahani le jate hain.
