It has always been a great travel interest for a number of tourists to check out buildings or megastructures that speak of architectural wonder. A design that leaves you in awe, colours that make your mood vibrant and creation that satisfy the mind, all sum up to give you the perfect structure you're looking for. Let's look at some of the most wonderful architectures in the world.
The Pyramid of Giza
Believed to be constructed around 2580–2560 BC (4th dynasty), it is still a majestic wonder how humans are able to arrange these huge rocks that weigh several tons the way they did. The Great Pyramid of Egypt is a complex of several pyramids which include Menkaure, Mykerinos, Khafre, Chephren and Chufu Cheops respectively.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa
The construction of the tower started in 1173 in the then-seafaring republic of Pisa, but the sandy soil underneath it quickly began its tilt. The latest measurements show the good health of the monument, according to Gianluca De Felice, director of the Opera della Primaziale Pisana, the institution in charge of the complex of monuments on the Square of Miracles. "We can express cautious optimism," De Felice said. The tower is constantly monitored, and the data are examined by a surveillance committee which meets every three months.
The Stonehenge
Stonehenge is a massive stone monument located on a chalky plain north of the modern-day city of Salisbury, England. Research shows that the site has continuously evolved over a period of about 10,000 years. The structure that we call "Stonehenge" was built between roughly 5,000 and 4,000 years ago and was one part of a larger sacred landscape that included a massive stone monument that was 15 times the size of Stonehenge.
The Great Wall of China
The Great Wall of China, one of the greatest wonders of the world, was listed as a World Heritage by UNESCO in 1987. Just like a gigantic dragon, it winds up and down across deserts, grasslands, mountains and plateaus, stretching approximately 21,196 kilometers from east to west of China. With a history of about 2,700 years, some of the Great Wall sections are now in ruins or have disappeared. However, the Great Wall of China is still one of the most appealing attractions all around the world owing to its architectural grandeur and historical significance.
