The first unveiling of the monument took place on October 12, 1931, by lighting designer Guglielmo Marconi.

To get to the Arc de Triomphe's viewing platform, you have to climb 284 steps.

The Tower has become known as a place haunted by ghosts.

Construction of the skyscraper took only 58 weeks.

The Tower, as we know it today, was started by King Richard the Lionheart, who began its reconstruction into a fortress in the years 1189-1199.

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.

Because of the extreme precision with which the structure was built, many pseudo-scientific myths have grown up around it.

Any non-service animals, including horses, are not allowed on the Golden Gate Bridge.

The Golden Gate Bridge’s construction began in 1933.

The Wall of China is about 2,700 years old.
