Architecture

The Forbidden City is a palace complex in the Dongcheng district of Beijing.

The design of the Big Ben clock was selected in a competition.

The clock was built by Edmund Beckett Denison and the EJ Dent&Co company in 1854.

Inside the tower there is the so-called Prison Room.

The design proposed by Louis Le Vau was accepted by Louis XIV in the summer of 1668.

This Moorish palace is located in Seville, the capital of the Spanish region of Andalusia.

125 meters above the ground there is a restaurant, buffets and champagne bar.

The wall separating the chapel of St. Anny had two small holes, which were associated with a legend.

The record for running up to the top floor of a skyscraper belongs to Paul Crake, who managed to achieve 9 minutes and 33 seconds. He set his record in 2003.

The decorative rims of the clock faces are gilded.
