Architecture

The chief architect of the mausoleum was Ustad Ahmad Lahauri.

Along one of the museum’s facades is the Fountain of Fire, designed by Yves Klein.

The Tower of London is guarded by characteristically dressed guards, called Yeomen Warders, or more popularly beefeaters.

In 1995, the Armed Islamic Group planted and detonated an explosive charge under the arch, injuring 17 people.

The Tower has become known as a place haunted by ghosts.

The Teutonic Order built the castle in several stages, from 1278 to 1457.

Excavation began in 1748 and continues to this day.

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.

The architects tried to save the situation and changed the plans during construction, extending the columns on one side.

Construction of the Notre-Dame de Paris began in 1163.
