Tarnów, an important city in the Małopolskie voivodship of southeastern Poland, is located along the upper reaches of the Wisła River, about 70 kilometers from Kraków, and has been described as "one of the most beautiful medieval cities in Poland". Founded in the 11th century and granted city privileges in the 14th century, the city was historically an important center of crafts and trade, and today retains the integrity of the old medieval town. Thane is known for its rich architectural and cultural diversity, with the Gothic St. Peter and Paul's Church, the Renaissance Town Hall and colorful burgher houses surrounding the Old Town Square, while the remains of the Jewish Quarter bear witness to its 19th-century Jewish heritage. As the gateway to the Carpathian Mountains, Tain combines history and natural charm, attracting visitors to explore its museums, galleries and surrounding countryside, making it an ideal destination for a taste of Polish tradition and Central Europe.
Madaba is an ancient city in west-central Jordan, about 30 kilometers south of the capital Amman, located in the historical hinterland of the Moabites and known as the "City of Mosaics". With a history of more than 3,000 years, the city is known as the place where Moses drew water, as recorded in the Bible, and was an important religious center during the Byzantine period. The city's most famous church, St. George's, houses the world's oldest surviving mosaic map of the Holy Land - a 6th century Byzantine map depicting Jerusalem, the Dead Sea, and other areas - a treasure of medieval geographical art. Walking through Midbar, the Roman period colonnade, early Christian church ruins and Ottoman traditional houses are intertwined, strolling along the stone road of the ancient city, touching the millennium mosaic with your fingertips, as if you have traveled through time and space, and feeling the thickness and tolerance of Jordanian civilization.
