Placelore

The true stories of the places you walk past

2 followers

Placelore is a free guide to the stories behind ordinary places: a monastery hidden among terraces, a church moved on rails to escape demolition, a square that was a racetrack. As of 25.09.2026, 785 places and 106 walks in 31 European cities, in 6 languages. Each story is researched, checked against sources and lists them. Read at home or walk it: with GPS on, the map shows the way to the next stop and tells you when you're there. No app, no account, no ads.
