Architecture

The Forbidden City was constructed between 1406 and 1420. It was built on the orders of the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Yongle (1402-1424).

In 1096, the first armed expedition (there were seven in total) set off from Western Europe, known as the Crusade.

During the civil war called the Wars of the Roses in the years 1377 - 1485, when England was divided into two houses of Lancaster and York and their supporters, the character of the Tower changed.

The bridge's two lifting bascules are huge. Each weighs 1,000 tons.

The temple has been rediscovered in 1869 thanks to John Turtle Wood.

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

Initially, the tower was to stand for only 20 years after its construction, but due to its use for telecommunications purposes, its life was prolonged.

More than a million workers were involved in the wall's construction.

The castle was one of Henry III's three favorite residences.

The chief architect was John Graham.
