Architecture

The Temple of Winged Lions was dedicated to the wife of the highest Nabataean male deity, Dushara - Lord of the Mountains.

More than 30 people have committed suicide by jumping from the Empire State Building.

The temple is built on the plan of a cross.

Initially, it was supposed to be a bronze figure of Christ holding a globe in his hand or, instead of a figure, a gigantic cross.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is known throughout the world, and for Italians, who hold it particularly dear, it is one of the country's symbols.

Pompeii was built on the slope of a hill formed from volcanic lava.

Neuschwanstein was an symbolic medieval knight's castle. This project consumed a huge amount of money. During the king's lifetime, the cost of building the castle was 6.2 million marks (equivalent to 47 million euros in 2021).

The building was constructed according to the plans of the Greek architect Sostratos of Cnidus.

As early as 1964, during an archeological survey, American researchers realized that this mound did not form naturally.

Temple was finally closed by Christians sometime in the 5th century AD.
