Gaudi began work on the church in 1883.

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

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

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

The official opening of the building was conducted by U.S. President Herbert Hoover, who illuminated the skyscraper by pressing a button in his office in Washington.
