Architecture

The style in which the palace in Versailles was built can be described as French baroque.

Justinian I the Great spared no expense in furnishing the church. Porphyry and marble were used to decorate the temple and as wall and pillar coverings.

It is the 7th tallest building in New York City and 9th in the United States.

The legend is still taken seriously. Seven ravens still live in the Tower - six that are required plus an extra one to spare.

More than a million workers were involved in the wall's construction.

Each side of the pyramid has a base length of 230 meters.

Hagia Sophia combines the features of a basilica - an elongated building founded on a rectangular or Latin cross plan - and a central building - based on a circular plan.

The Forbidden City has a rectangular shape. Its dimensions are: 961 meters from north to south and 753 meters from east to west.

Originally, the great Pyramid was 146.59 m tall but due to the loss of the crowning stone called pyramidion and further erosion it decreased to 138.75 m.

After the completion of Stonehenge, human activity continued at the site for hundreds, if not thousands, of years.
