@mattblaze When I have visited DC that was actually my impression. The architecture felt like a Disneyland version of many of the old European cities that had been part of the old Roman Empire. I was also reminded of that when I visited Skopje in North Macedonia a few years ago, which has undergone a “pseudo-classification” in the 2010s. Because of its location, it felt more like it made sense for those buildings to be there. But they were just as fake. blocal-travel.com/balkans/mace
