Beautiful Aquinicum amphitheatre which was built around 145, during the reign of emperor Antoninus Pius. It's free to visit. I actually preferred this to the bigger ruins next to the Aquinicum museum.

Well overlooked sight in Budapest. Small snd open area that should be seen when in Budapest.

Ruins of a small military amphitheatre from Roman times. Visible at all hours, it is very close to the metro/suburban rail line to Szentendre

Its a provincial type of amphitheater and quite well preserved and a bit restored. Highly recommended. Spend some time there. Locals tend to take their dogs there, but its clean and thankfuly there is very little damage by grafittists, so thats great. Overall, site is completely unprotected, which is rather sad. Its free to visit

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
