SAMPLE ANSWER
Well, exploring different historical buildings is necessary in order to gain knowledge about past events and stay connected with their roots. Even though I have visited a number of historical attractions throughout my life, like the Taj Mahal, the Red Fort, and many more. But here I would like to talk about a historical building that I have been to recently. The name of the historical building is Punjabi Haveli.
If I talk about its location, it is situated in Karnal. Talking about its appearance, it looks like a very old building, and it seems that it has not been painted for a long time, but the structure of the building still looks amazing. When it comes to the question of what it is used for now, I would say it is used as a historical attraction these days. This place also provides a number of services, like dining services and residences, as well as a number of shopping complexes.
If I talk about what I learned there, I learned so many things. The prominent one is that there were many pictures hanging on the walls of the heavens, which represented the lifestyle of the people in the past. Apart from that, there were many dance performances through which I learned about the history of Punjab. Moreover, the dining service is just like the food that they used to serve in the past, with utensils made of clay.
When it comes to my feelings about this historical building I really felt over the moon after visiting such a place because I learned a number of new things and learned about the importance of historical attractions. Moreover, I feel it is a great place to visit because it has a number of services that people should at least try once in a lifetime. All in all, this was the historical attraction to which I went.
