How to choose objects for photos
Add photos of locations to help tourists with navigation.
Attach a photo of the details that are described so that tourists could get a closer look at them (an image of a fresco under the dome of a church, an element on the facade of a building, a fragment of a painting, etc.).
If the story is about the history of a place, add a photo of this location in the past to provide an opportunity to see how the place has changed over the years.
