  • Teatro La Fenice (“The Phoenix”) in Venice, is one of the most famous and renowned landmarks in the history of Italian theatre as well as those in Europe. La Fenice has faced serious fires twice in its life (1836 and 1996) but risen again as its name (Phoenix) would demand of it. Now restored to its 18th-century glory, the famous opera house boasts a jaw-dropping interior that displays a late-Empire luxury of gilt decorations, plushy extravagance and stucco.

  • The central quadrangle of the museum was redeveloped to a design by Foster and Partners, from a 1970s design by Colin St John Wilson, to become the Queen Elizabeth II Great Court, commonly referred to simply as the Great Court, during the late 1990s. It was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000. The court has a tessellated glass roof designed by Buro Happold and executed by Waagner-Biro, covering the entire court and surrounds the original circular British Museum Reading Room in the centre, now a museum. It is the largest covered square in Europe. The glass and steel roof is made up of 4878 unique steel members connected at 1566 unique nodes and 1656 pairs of glass windowpanes making up 6100m2 of glazing - more impressive, each of a unique shape because of the undulating nature of the roof. Controversially, some of the stone in the court is from France.

  • The Glasgow Cathedral, also called the High Kirk of Glasgow or St Mungo's Cathedral, was built before the Reformation from the late 12th century onwards serving as the seat of the Bishop and later the Archbishop of Glasgow. It is located right in the heart of Scotland's largest city and features beautiful stained glass windows. Beneath the main building is another church which contains the tomb of St Mungo. It is a remarkable example of Scottish Gothic architecture. It is also one of the few Scottish medieval churches to have survived the Reformation not unroofed.

  • The Olympic Stadium was built for the 1936 Summer Olympic Games, after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) had chosen Berlin in 1931 to host the 1936 Games. Hitler took advantage of the opportunity provided by the Games to present a propagandistic image of National Socialist Germany to the world. For the duration of the Olympic Games, for instance, signs forbidding Jews to sit on park benches were removed so as not to detract from the Third Reich’s portrayal of itself. The construction carried out for the Olympics was the Third Reich’s first large architectural project. At one side of the stadium, the main axis is expressed by two identical towers. They indicate the main entrance. The Olympic rings are suspended between the towers to symbolically complete the design of the portal. At the other side of the stadium, the continuity of the tiers along the elliptical perimeter is suddenly interrupted by the ‘Marathon Gate’. It is defined by two robust blocs that served to welcome the Olympic flame. The axis subsequently culminates with the ‘Führerturm’ which is the highest tower in front of the Marathon Gate. It heightens 75 meters (246 feet).

  • The Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, often simply called the Sagrada Família, is a large, privately-funded Roman Catholic church that has been under construction in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain since 1882 and is not expected to be complete until at least 2026. Considered the master-work of renowned Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), the project's vast scale and idiosyncratic design have made it one of Barcelona's (and Spain's) top tourist attractions for many years.

  • The Bramante Staircase is a double helix staircase designed by Giuseppe Momo in 1932 and it features granite doric columns and a herringbone paving pattern. A canopy located above provides the necessary light to illuminate the stairs. The staircase is located at the end of the museum visit and all visitors leave by this route, so you definitely don't need to worry about missing it.
