Architecture

For the 75th anniversary of the monument, a small chapel was built at its base.

The Forbidden City is a palace complex in the Dongcheng district of Beijing.

The palace consists of two floors.

The building weighs more than 360 thousand tons.

Among the oldest trees on the grounds surrounding the White House are magnolias (Magnolia grandiflora) planted by Andrew Jackson.

In 1923, the palaces of King Ludwig II, including Neuschwanstein, were transferred to state ownership.

There are four smaller bells in the tower, which every quarter of an hour strike a variation of several bars modeled on that of the St. Mary's Church in Cambridge from Handel's "Messiah".

The style in which the palace in Versailles was built can be described as French baroque.

At the time of its commissioning, the Faros lighthouse was the tallest structure that was not a pyramid.

The first mention of Versailles on the outskirts of Paris dates back to 1038, as a small agricultural village surrounded by forests.
