Architecture

Taj Mahal is an Islamic mausoleum in the city of Agra.

The elevators on the Eiffel Tower were not repaired until 1946.

Beginning in September 1945, the palace became the headquarters of the British occupation forces, whose Viennese sector included the two neighboring districts 12 and 13.

It is a spectacular mixture of Persian, Islamic, and Indian architectural styles.

The Empire State Building has 103 floors.

The site for the Opéra Garnier was chosen by Georges-Eugene Haussmann, prefect of the French department of the Seine and considered the urban planner of Paris.

When, after the Battle of Grunwald, King Władysław Jagiełło and his Polish-Lithuanian troops besieged Malbork Castle, there was a traitor inside the castle who hung a red flag in the refectory window.

Between 1638 and 1643, a palace was built as the residence of Eleonora Gonzaga.

It had a sewerage system running along the streets.

On the arch walls are engraved the names of 128 towns where battles of the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars took place.
