Assassin’s Creed Mirage has 66 Historical Site Locations. Finding all Historical Sites is required to get 100% completion in all districts for the Explorer trophy & achievement (fully explore all territories). They look like white glowing orbs and lead to historically important locations.
All you need to do is interact with the glowing orb at the location. Then it shows a popup on the right showing the name of the historical site. Nothing is missable, everything can still be collected after the story.
