Architecture

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

The construction of the sanctuary was associated with alleged miracles.

In 1994, French archaeologists discovered the remains of a lighthouse at the bottom of an estuary from Alexandria's port.

On the facade facing the sea were engraved inscriptions in honor of Zeus.

In the 1930s, they were painted black to hide the effects of air pollution. The original colors were restored during conservation works in 2017-2021. The Victorian glass was also removed and replaced with a faithful reproduction made in Germany by glassmakers Glasfabrik Lamberts.

In the early years of La Scala’s existence, it was a place of prominent meetings between the nobility and the wealthy of Milan.

In 1933, most of the museum's collection was evacuated. The evacuation was forced by the threat of Japanese invasion.

The tower consists of 18,000 metal parts welded together with 2.5 million rivets.

The architects tried to save the situation and changed the plans during construction, extending the columns on one side.

In 2015-2016, the Spanish Steps underwent a restoration.
