Architecture

In 1833, King Louis Philippe decided to establish a Museum of French History in Versailles.

The walls of the Taj Mahal are carved with Koran passages and decorated with marbles and gemstones.

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

There are two open to the public observation decks in the building.

During the civil war called the Wars of the Roses in the years 1377 - 1485, when England was divided into two houses of Lancaster and York and their supporters, the character of the Tower changed.

The southern rosette also suffered much damage - only some of the stained glass originates back to the Middle Ages. French architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc restored the rest in 1861.

Construction began in 1788 and lasted 3 years.

Most of the fountain was made of travertine, obtained from a quarry 35 kilometers south of Rome.

In front of the church is the Sallustiano Obelisk, almost certainly brought to Rome by Lucius Domitius Aurelianus (Roman emperor, one of the most prominent rulers of the second half of the 3rd century).

The Forbidden City was designed to reflect philosophical and religious principles with specific symbolism.
