What's the oldest structure/building/monument you have ever visited?

[Teh One Who Knocks]

I was just reading an article of old/ancient structures and was trying to figure what the oldest place I have ever visited before.

I think the oldest structure I have ever been to in person is the Roman Forum when I took my first trip over to Europe many moons ago. I thought it was the Coliseum, but after looking, I saw that only dates back to the 1st century AD (being completed in 80 AD). The Roman Forum it appears dates back as far as the 7th century BC I really had no idea.

Where's the oldest place you have visited?

I visited Stonehenge when I went to England. I think that's a little bit older than the St. Louis Arch.

my parents took me to rome once when I wasn't even in school yet, but I have no recollection of my own from that holiday. The oldest stuff I can remember visiting would be various roman sites in spain and france, some of them dating back to the third century BC.

my favourites:

Pont du Gard and the Segovia aqueduct

Stonehenge

Now believed by many archaeologists to have possibly been erected early as 3000 BC

[Hugh_Janus]

oldest is obviously stonehenge, but I've also been to a few 800-odd year old castles 'round here, went to have a wander around knossos. Went to the harbour where the colossus used to stand.... that's all I can remember off the top of my head

[Noilly Pratt]

Stonehenge for still-standing (2400BC). Woodhenge (2300BC) for recreation of something slightly older than Stonehenge.

[Teh One Who Knocks]

Looks like Stonehenge is the leader in the clubhouse at the moment. If I'm not mistaken, the only structure older than that (still standing) are the Pyramids of Giza I think
