Hi Akram!

How do you do?

Sites (n) - The place where a structure or group of structures was, is, or is to be located

- A Website

Sights (n) - The ability to see or The act or fact of seeing.

Hope that this will be helpful.

Best Regards,

jocel

How about this, Akram?

The Hagia Sophia, one of the major tourist sights of Istanbul, is built on the site of two earlier churches.

The first is related to the verb ï¿½see ï¿½ while the second is related to the verb ï¿½situate ï¿½.

"Sites" are places that you visit when you go to see the "sights".
