To those from the Western hemisphere, it’s always fascinating to hear that some homes and businesses from the times of the Greek philosophers still have inhabitants, and then you remember that the Western hemisphere is itself not without its own examples, for example some Mexican villages still have temples from the times of the Mayans.

First or second century for the Roman baths. They’re not in a great state though.
Surprise surprise, it’s a church. Riddarholmen Church built in the 13th century.
The student dorm I lived in was built as a monastery in 1491.
My current home town still has a guard tower built by the Romans.I live around the Yorkshire moors. There are dry stone walls up there which are up to 600 years old. I love walking up in the hills and thinking about that.

It was built in the 1820s
The first Roman fort on the site of the castle was likely built around 55AD.
Normal people houses don’t survive much longer that 500-600 years bc on fire and bombing, but town hall, temple, fort, palace and other administration building can be much much older.
Houses weren’t typically built with durable materials. Only fancy buildings could afford to be.
Still a few hundred years is much more than what most of today buildings can survived.
Early 1800’s. I grew up in a house that was built in 1905.
1130, St Margarets Chapel.
Had to look it up, but “most probably” built between AD 1000–1050. Love that it’s old enough that we’re not entirely sure…
Nice trick to make ppl revel city they live in and possibly most of these ppl walk past it on semi regular basis so…
The oldest building near where I live was believed to be built in 1640.
Weve got Roman era ruins I think, but I cant find any info on the oldest standing building. Probably from the 13th-14th century.
I think the oldest building would be the castle that eas first officially mentioned in 1004 AD and the first parts of the castle were built way before that.
Spanish mission church 1782
