Architecture

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

A B-25D Mitchel bomber crashed into the Empire State Building.

Beginning in September 1945, the palace became the headquarters of the British occupation forces, whose Viennese sector included the two neighboring districts 12 and 13.

After the Swedish Deluge, the castle was still the seat of the starosta and local administration, but it lost its military importance.

Queen Victoria's granddaughter Victoria Eugenia, who later became queen of Spain when she married King Alfonso XIII in 1906, was born at Balmoral Castle.

Gaudi's architecture is based on the geometry of complex curves, including the elliptical paraboloid.

The structure was designed by the architect Jean Chalgrin and the sculptures were made by François Rude.

Most of the fountain was made of travertine, obtained from a quarry 35 kilometers south of Rome.

Above the bell tower and the Aryton Light are 52 shields decorated with the symbols of the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales).

Such a number of people at the same time, even in a large palace, without adequate sanitary facilities, often resulted in an unpleasant smell in the living rooms.
