Gaudi did not complete the temple, as he died on June 10, 1926, from injuries sustained three days earlier when a streetcar hit him.

A medieval myth arose around Artemis Temple's columns.

The original Artemis statue has been made of gold, silver, ebony and black stone.

The Alcázar was used in the filming of "Game of Thrones," "Kingdom of Heaven" and "Lawrence of Arabia."

The Statue of Liberty is a gift from France to the U.S. for the centennial of the Declaration of Independence.

The cathedral is expected to be rebuilt by 2024, but it could take more than 20 years to restore the structure entirely. The destruction, while extensive, did not significantly affect the interior of the building.

As early as 1964, during an archeological survey, American researchers realized that this mound did not form naturally.

Hagia Sophia combines the features of a basilica - an elongated building founded on a rectangular or Latin cross plan - and a central building - based on a circular plan.

Andrea Bocelli, Elton John, and Ray Charles, among others, played their concerts in the Colosseum arena.

In the central part of the building is an elegant steel spiral staircase that connects the various levels of the villa.
