A single color dress is easy to match, but an entire city, not so much! The colorful cities look like they've come out of a storybook and are pleasing to the eye.
From Mexico to Morocco, there are many areas with the same facade color. Being in front of such a city is an experience that is both attractive and surprising for the residents who live there, but also for tourists. The aesthetic aspect is not the only reason why a city is covered in a single shade. From a pink Indian metropolis made pink just to honor a king's visit to several Korean islands with purple buildings to pique the interest of tourists…
Meet the seven amazing, monochrome cities that "combine" with every shade.
Andalusia, Spain
In the southern region of Spain, Andalusia, there are many white towns. Several theories have been floated: one suggests that the color was used to protect the buildings from the strong Mediterranean sun, while another says that the white was used to fight bacteria.
Izamal, Mexico
The yellow color of the city of Izamal in Mexico has two theories of explanation. First, it is said that this color was chosen in honor of a planned engagement with Pope John Paul II in 1993, while others argue that yellow precedes the papal visit.
Chefchaouen, Morocco
Ky qytet verior maroken është i famshëm për blunë e tij të gjallë kudo, e cila mbulon fasadat dhe rrugicat. Për blunë, janë disa shpjegime: ngjyra largon mushkonjat; është simbol i qiellit ose i detit Mesdhe aty pranë; është një ngjyrë e besimit hebre, etj.
Jodhpur, Indi
Thuhet se ngjyra blu e qiellit është zgjedhur për t'i mbajtur shtëpitë të freskëta në klimën e shkretëtirës. E vendosur në rajonin Rajasthan të Indisë, Jodhpur është tetë orë me makinë nga qyteti rozë njëngjyrësh i Jaipur.
Ishujt Banwol dhe Bakji, Kore e Jugut
Në bregun perëndimor të Koresë së Jugut ndodhen ishujt e vegjël Banwol dhe Bakji. Për të rritur turizmin, qeveria vendosi mbjelljen e luleve të purpurta që rriten në zonë, si edhe lyerjen e disa fasadave me ngjyrë jargavani.
Collonges-la-Rouge, Francë
All the buildings in this medieval commune have the same shade of flame red, thanks to the local red sandstone they were built with.
Jaipur, India
In anticipation of a visit from the Prince of Wales in 1876, Maharaja Raja Sawai Ram Singh decided to dress Jaipur's buildings in festive pink. Over a century later, the "Pink City of India" was officially registered as a World Heritage Site by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee.
