This majestic monument was built over 400 years ago (1632) and is remarkable for its ideal symmetry. The Taj was dispatched by Emperor Shah Jahan as a mausoleum for his wife, Arjumand Banu Begum (otherwise called Mumtaz Mahal). Produced using white marble, this great mausoleum includes points of interest that were decorated with valuable lapis lazuli — stolen in the nineteenth century. Its outside mirrors the changing shades of the day, and its excellence on a full-moon night is unbelievable.

Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt

For the Egyptian pharaoh Khufu, in 2560 BC, the thought of causing your own downfall transposed extravagantly into building the Great Pyramid. Nearly two million stone blocks, each weighing  around 2 tons, were united to serve as his tomb. The Great Pyramid is the planet's unique vacation spot —  Antony (Cleopatra's lover) and Napoleon among its numerous early guests — and stays together with three different pyramids and that different famous fascination, the Sphinx.

Great Wall, China

Constructed from the end of the fifteenth century to the beginning of the sixteenth (utilizing a wall, which was 2000 years old), it extends an unbelievable 6350km. Its rugged, winding presence over the mountains in the middle of China and Mongolia always pleases, and is a tribute to the insane strategies we apply to frameworks of war and guard. The touristic parts of Badaling are not advised; attempt rather a stroll from Simatai to Jinshanling.

Eiffel Tower, France

Built in 1889 for the Universal Exhibition and to commend the French Revolution, Paris' tower was outlined by Stephen Sauvestre and was named after Gustave Eiffel — who had practical experience in iron development including the Statue of Liberty and bridges sold far and wide in packs.

'Big Ben' is the popular name for the Palace of Westminster's clock and Bell tower in London, and doubts persists as to  whether  Benjamin was  big enough to give his name to it. Maybe it was Ben Hall, the Chief Commissioner of Works when it was fabricated in 1888. Alternatively, it could have been Ben Caunt, a heavyweight prizefighter — in reference to the heavyweight ringer inside: 13.76 tons. The tower has a slight lean — approx 22cm (8.7in) northwest — because of surface conditions.
