    Main Building University of Santo Tomas

    Designed by a Spanish priest-civil engineer Rev. Fr. Roque Ruao in 1920 to 1923, the main
    building of the Philippines oldest university is also the first earthquake resistant building in
    the country.

    St Mary's Cathedral

    Kenzo Tange has built many impressive buildings in Tokyo, but St Mary's Cathedral is
    arguably his finest work. Built in 1964, it is a soaring vision of stainless-steel-clad
    abstraction.

    Saint Peter's Basilica

    St. Peter's Basilica, which is called in Italian "Basilica di San Pietro in Vaticano", is a large
    church in the Vatican City, in Rome,Italy. A church was built here in the 4th century AD. The
    building that stands here now was begun on April 18, 1506 and was finished in 1626.

    Aqueduct of Segovia

    Located on the Iberian Peninsula, the Aqueduct of Segovia still retains its structural
    integrity to this day, making it one of the best preserved pieces of architecture from
    ancient Rome.

    Temple of Poseidon at Sounion

    Located at the southernmost tip of the Attica peninsula in Greece, the Temple of Poseidon
    at Sounion is surrounded on three sides by the sea. It was constructed in approx. 440 BC.

    Assyrian winged bull


    (Lamassu)

    During the Neo-Assyrian Empire (c.883-612), large monumental bulls, often with wings and
    always with human heads, were placed as gateway guardians at the entrances of royal
    palaces like Khorsabad and Nineveh.

    Bent Pyramid

    Located at the royal necropolis of Dahshur, the Bent Pyramid was the second pyramid built
    by Pharaoh Sneferu. The pyramid has a unique and mysterious structure, as its base rises
    from the desert floor at an angle of 55 degrees and then shows an obvious change of a
    more gradual angle of 43 degrees, which gives the pyramid its bent shape.

    Reims Cathedral

    Reims Cathedral was the church in which numerous French monarchs were officially
    crowned. It was built on the site of the basilica where Clovis was baptized by Saint Remi,
    bishop of Reims, in AD 496. The cathedral was completed by the end of the 13th century,
    with the west front added in the 14th century.

    Salk Institute

    The Salk Institute continues to be acclaimed by architecture critics as one of the worlds
    boldest structures. Completed in 1965 and now designated a historical site, the
    Institute fulfills founder Dr. Jonas Salks vision of a facility with open, unobstructed
    laboratory interiors set in a dramatic location that inspires creativity among its
    researchers.
