Architecture

The villa was the main location in the 2007 film “Hannibal Rising.”

Big Ben is one of the two towers of the British Parliament - the Palace of Westminster.

The cathedral's pipe organ was built in 1403 but has not survived to the present day. Only 12 pipes and a small part of the wooden structure remain. The creator of the original pipe organs was Frédéric Schambantz.

In 1994, French archaeologists discovered the remains of a lighthouse at the bottom of an estuary from Alexandria's port.

The construction of the sanctuary was associated with alleged miracles.

Construction of the lighthouse may have taken 14 to 20 years.

The towers were the last sizable element of the cathedral to be built. They were not built simultaneously; construction of the southern tower began first.

The Wall, best-known today, acquired its final form during the Ming Dynasty between the 14th through 17th centuries AD.

The Crusaders, traveling through Asia Minor, plundered and destroyed cities, murdered infidels, occupied strongholds already existing in these areas, and created fortification systems.

Its construction began with cornerstone installation at noon on 13th October 1792.
