I suppose most people have heard of a suburb that was built on a farmer's land, which is generally flat & featureless. (& the buildings too!) So what would be the
opposite of that? Here's what I'm thinking of (some will be familiar I'm sure):
Oia, Santorini:

St George's Church in Lalibela, Abyssinia (Ethiopia), carved out of rock, like Petra in Jordan:

Penon Velez de la Gomera, one of the Spanish Plazas de soberanía (places of sovereignty) on the coast of Morocco:
Penon de Alhucemas (another one):
Macchu Picchu & Petra are a couple others that could go on this list but I'm not going to look ofr pic right now. & I couldn't find decent pics of Guilin quickly enough, but I'm sure they're out there. I'll find some tomorrow I'm sure.
