Architecture

On the facade facing the sea were engraved inscriptions in honor of Zeus.

The initial wooden castle consisted of a tower and an outer ward protected by a small wall, which was located on a cliff rising 30 m above the river.

The lighthouse of Pharos was ceremonially opened in 279 BC.

Inside the palace, in eleven chambers, there is a Historical Museum.

Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, whose construction was entrusted to Frank O. Gehry, was chosen as the new symbol - an icon - of the city.

The estate, along with the original castle, was purchased by Prince Albert, husband of Queen Victoria, in 1852.

The Polish army took part in the capture of Malbork, which lasted 13 years (Thirteen Years' War). However, the castle in Malbork was not captured with weapons, but with money.

Some traffic restrictions have been placed on the bridge to protect it from excessive stress.

The tower may have been about 120 meters high and was topped by a statue of Poseidon about 7 meters high.

The temple was built on the initiative of Emperor Justinian I the Great. The first church on the site of the current Hagia Sophia was a church known as Magna Ecclesia - the Great Church (due to its size compared to the size of modern churches in the city).
