This village in the West Sumatra province of Indonesia is home to the Minangkabau people, known for their rich culture. You’ll find traditional, well-preserved dwellings that date back three hundred years and feature beautiful wood carvings and walls woven from the rattan tree. There’s also a large mosque that is believed to have been built in the early 1800s.
7. Savoca, Italy
This village situated in northeastern Sicily might not be as famous as the nearby town of Taormina, but it’s still worth a visit. It is uniquely Sicilian with its timeless churches, houses, and other architecture. It comes as no surprise that Francis Ford Coppola chose Savoca as the site for some of the scenes in “The Godfather II.”
