Architecture

The bridge was built in the Victorian style.

Gaudi's style was very sculptural and Art Nouveau, striving for a stylistic unity by combining different fields of art, especially craftsmanship, interior architecture, sculpture and graphics.

The Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, its coastal strip, was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979 due to its aesthetic value and importance to Christian tradition.

In former times two roads led down from the church along the hillside, steep and muddy, inaccessible to carriages.

La Scala is closely associated with Giuseppe Verdi, one of Italy’s greatest composers.

The tradition of Garter Feasts was maintained and became more extravagant during the reign of Henry VIII.

The bridge used to be lifted by a steam engine weighing 2,000 tons.

The fountain measures 26.3 by 49.15 meters.

The first mention of Versailles on the outskirts of Paris dates back to 1038, as a small agricultural village surrounded by forests.

We do not know what the social organization and hierarchy were in those times, but it seems that such a large enterprise had to be supervised by someone.
