The Brandenburg Gate is 26 meters high, 65.5 meters wide and 11 meters deep.

The seat of the US President forms the so-called White House complex.

The stairs consist of 135 steps (some claim 136, but they count drainage platform as a step).

More than 25.000 tons of concrete were used to build the museum.

Construction began in 1788 and lasted 3 years.

The chief engineer at the Golden Gate Bridge was Joseph Baermann Strauss.

The Polish army took part in the capture of Malbork, which lasted 13 years (Thirteen Years' War). However, the castle in Malbork was not captured with weapons, but with money.

The Forbidden City was constructed between 1406 and 1420. It was built on the orders of the third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Yongle (1402-1424).

The first president, who resided in the White House, was John Adams.
