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

Neuschwanstein is visited by approximately 1.5 million tourists each year.

Since 1523, the abbot of the sanctuary was appointed directly by the King of France.

Upon the 800th anniversary of the cathedral's construction, its facade was cleaned. André Malraux, France's Minister of Culture, ordered a thorough restoration of the walls, which had turned black from dirt and soot over the past centuries.

About 3,000 euros are thrown into the fountain by tourists every day.

We do not know what the social organization and hierarchy were in those times, but it seems that such a large enterprise had to be supervised by someone.

On the facade of the arch are engraved 660 names of the Napoleonic army officers.

It is an observation tower located in Seattle, Washington.

According to legend, in 709 CE the Archangel Michael appeared to the Bishop of Avranches, St. Aubert, asking him to build a shrine on a rock.

Neuschwanstein Castle is one of the most famous monuments in Germany. It is located in southern Bavaria, near the town of Füssen, near the Austrian border.
