The earthquake of 1375 dealt the final blow to the building.

It was commissioned in 1632 by the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan.

It is also referred to as the "Pyramid of Khufu" and the "Pyramid of Cheops".

The Tugendhat villa has simple geometric shapes and flowing lines.

The temple was built on the initiative of Emperor Justinian I the Great. The first church on the site of the current Hagia Sophia was a church known as Magna Ecclesia - the Great Church (due to its size compared to the size of modern churches in the city).

The chambers inside the pyramid of Cheops are covered with blocks of granite that weigh up to 80 tons.

The 73 elevators installed in the Empire State are capable of transporting 10 thousand people per hour.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty reigned in the Forbidden City until 1912.

In 1919, by law, the palace grounds, which had belonged to the court during the monarchy, came under state administration.

To the south of the Forbidden City were two important temples.
