  1. 12 Famous Landmarks Surrounded By Legends

  2. 12. Shambhala, Tibet If you’ve ever wondered where the term Shangri-La originated, it was from the very elusive, mysterious sanctuary deep within the Tibetan mountains.

  3. 11. El Dorado, Colombia The legend of El Dorado is shrouded in mystery. Meaning “the golden one,” no one can pinpoint its exact location, but it’s believed to be found in Colombia, South America.

  4. 10. Valley of the Kings, Egypt One of the most visited tourist attractions in Egypt is the Valley of the Kings, which lies along the banks of the Nile.

  5. 9. Ys, France The fabled city of Ys was said to have been built along the coast of Brittany in France and now lies beneath the bay of a popular beach town in the area.

  6. 8. Troy, Turkey Who can ever forget the tragic Trojan war, described in poetic detail in Homer’s Iliad? It may just be a work of fiction, but many believe that this infamous war was what put the city of Troy on the map.

  7. 7. Karakorum, Mongolia What was once the mighty capital of the Mongolian Empire is today nothing but an eerie ghost town of stones, walls, and ruins.

  8. 6. Carthage, Tunisia Founded by Phoenicians, Carthage was once a prosperous city in what is now the African nation of Tunisia. In legend, Carthage came to be because a king of Tyre gave his daughter Elissa in marriage to his brother Sichaeus, with a piece of land as dowry.

  9. 5. Timbuktu, Mali Aptly called the city of legends, Timbuktu is a city in Northern Mali at the fringes of the Sahara Desert. It was central to many a trade route, making it greatly rich.

  10. 4. Loch Ness, Scotland The famed Loch Ness monster continues to be an enigma to this very day, a modern urban legend that refuses to die.

  11. 3. The Loreley, Germany Those who have had the fortune of cruising down the Rhine River would have not only seen the picturesque banks dotted with castles, but that rock formation that juts out on the river’s eastern bank.

  12. 2. Rozafa Castle, Albania Rozafa Castle in Albania is virtually below the radar when it comes to famous tourist attractions, not even coming close to the likes of other tourist traps such as Versailles or Buckingham Palace.

  13. 1. Glastonbury, England Rich in history and filled with legends, Glastonbury in England is most famous for being the site of two historical figures and a common object that both persons held much reverence for: the Holy Grail.
