Architecture

Hagia Sophia combines the features of a basilica - an elongated building founded on a rectangular or Latin cross plan - and a central building - based on a circular plan.

The La Scala theater building was built on the site of the deconsecrated, demolished former church of Santa Maria della Scala, from which the theater took its name.

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 Tower of London is still inhabited today.

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

At the top of the pendulum is a small stack of old penny coins whose function is to adjust the time of the clock.

The first floor was probably completed just a few months after construction began.

Since 1994, the Tugendhat villa has been open to the public as a museum managed by the city of Brno.

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

On April 1st, 1989, a local sketch comedy TV show, Almost Live! Announced that the Space Needle collapsed.
