Architecture

Gustave Eiffel had a small apartment on the third floor of the tower where he invited his friends.

The clock tower was placed on a square concrete slab with sides 15,2 m and 3 m thick.

Most of Schönbrunn Palace now serves as a museum.

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

For this reason, Louis XIV decided to thoroughly rebuild the palace.

In 966 monks from Saint-Wandrille came to the island and founded a new Benedictine abbey there - the Abbey of SaintWandrille de Fontenelle.

In the southern part of Spanish Square, opposite the Spanish Embassy, rises the column of the Immaculate Conception from the 19th century, which combines antiquity (Corinthian column) with modern times (statue of the Virgin Mary on the top).

It is 184.5 meters high with a top floor at 158 meters.

The situation was different for the royal favorites.

In the early years of La Scala’s existence, it was a place of prominent meetings between the nobility and the wealthy of Milan.
