Architecture

Archaeologists discovered ancient roads in Petra. Ones for pedestrians, others for camels, and wheeled vehicles.

The Alcázar is a palace complex built in the 10th and 11th centuries.

The White House has become one of the first wheelchair-accessible government buildings in Washington.

The names of 72 prominent scientists and engineers of that time are engraved on the facade of the tower.

The construction of the bridge was not without accidents.

The Tower, as we know it today, was started by King Richard the Lionheart, who began its reconstruction into a fortress in the years 1189-1199.

Tower Bridge is often confused with London Bridge, which is about half a mile up the river.

In the southern part of Spanish Square, opposite the Spanish Embassy, rises the column of the Immaculate Conception from the 19th century, which combines antiquity (Corinthian column) with modern times (statue of the Virgin Mary on the top).

The pyramid was clad mostly with the no longer extant Tura limestone, which gave it a bright and shimmering hue.

The decorative rims of the clock faces are gilded.
