Thanks! Salvador was Brazilian first capital, founded in 1549. It was built to resemble indeed a Portuguese city. Nowadays it has 3.000.000 inhabitants, and its historic colonial district, named Pelourinho, is the largest in Brazil and is considered by Unesco a World Heritage Site!

Nice pictures in this thread. Beautifull cities.
Lima looks amazing!
And of all the old cities I've ever visited, Lisbon was the nicest one. I adore this city and its people.

Then people would post the newer, or modern sections of their cities as well. A city centre isn't old in many places. The bulk of Toronto's city centre is very new. Most of the old town was either torn down, or destroyed by fire. Some cities have substantial sections of their old districts still intact.

Who cares about an abstract definition of what is an 'old city'?:nuts:
Now, we have such extrem examples like Boston MA and Biblos in Lebanon, which makes it more interesting.

May be 'more than a lifetime (90 years, hopefully)' be a definition. I just want to see buildings which wouldn't be built that way in our time.

Isn't Cadiz the oldest inhabitated town in the world?

No way, it claims to be oldest in Western Europe (all of it but some Greek islands actually), and that's precisely because it was founded by Phoenicians, from the middle East, where urban life appeared first in the west. Damascus for instance is like 1500 years older than Cadiz, some others could be several thousands of years older, it's hard to determine when exactly urbanity started, what is generally asumed is that Europe didn't know it until Asians "spread" it.

No way, it claims to be oldest in Western Europe (all of it but some Greek islands actually), and that's precisely because it was founded by Phoenicians, from the middle East, where urban life appeared first in the west. Damascus for instance is like 1500 years older than Cadiz, some others could be several thousands of years older, it's hard to determine when exactly urbanity started, what is generally asumed is that Europe didn't know it until Asians "spread" it.

Check out the Cucuteni-Trypillian culture. They are 7000 year old European cities, but not continuously inhabited, mostly because those cities were built out of wood rather than stone since in those regions wood is more readily available than stone. :cheers:

A city is more than a bunch of wooden houses, even if you can see in it an organisation and a jerarchy, i think. Ur in nowdays Irak is said to be the first city in the world.

bye!

Edit: im in love with those villages in Yemen, my god what an architecture.

The construction material is irrelevant. You build with what you got. In the middle east there aren't many large trees so they had no choice but to build from mud and stone, but like I said, that is irrelevant. What makes a city a city is the social structure and the Cucuteni settlements had 10000 to 15000 people living in homes within city walls in 5000BC (that's 7000 years ago). That requires civic organization so it fits the definition of a city.

As for the oldest city ever last I heard it was Catalhoyuk in Anatolia. It was a well established city in 7000BC, that's 9000 years ago. That is more than three thousand years older than Ur.

Jericho dates back 11000 years and Damascus 9000.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/ec/G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe.jpg/800px-G%C3%B6bekli_Tepe.jpg

The oldest human settlement ever found is Gobekli Tepe, almost 12,000 years old. Of course, earlier civilizations could have built more sophisticated urban centres but they were made of woods, bamboo or mud so nothing remains today.

Neither Catalhoyuk nor Gobekli Tepe last very long though, Jericho and Damascus are still inhabited.

arabia????? half the place you mentioned are non arab
I'm rather talking about the Arabian cultural sphere. Didn't want to split it into several single countries. I could have written "muslim countries", but that'd have collided with places in the far east that are quite different.

you just made it worse, nor persians or turks fall under the arabian cultural sphere, we are not arabs or speak arabic or have their mentality and customs, infact, many consider it insulting to be called that. prior to making such assumptions and lumping all the countries in a region under a single cultural domain, please do some research or have some background information about it

simply calling it the near east or the middle east would have been better

You're right about the last part, but I couldn't have included North African places then.

Please don't tell me I have to do research, I'm well aware of cultural influences in this region.
I was just comfortable doing this classification. Still looking for a better matching term. If you have one (other than Middle East), feel free to tell me.

if you were well aware you would never of summed up turks and persians under arabian culture

anyway, regarding that whole region, its generally called the middle east and north africa (mena)

Valparaíso looks absolutely gorgeous :applause:

Mexico City has loads of fantastic stuff to offer as well. It's a little sad the metropolis features so many hideous places around its old core.
