  Eiffel Tower
  The Eiffel Tower in Paris, France, was constructed by Alexander-Gustave Eiffel in commemoration of the French Revolution, and completed in 1889 at a cost of $1.5 million dollars. The design beat out 700 others who were competing for the opportunity, and the structure was completed in just 21 months. At 986 feet, it was the tallest building in the known world after being unveiled at the Paris World’s Fair. This open-latticed, brown wrought iron structure has since become one of the world’s major tourist attractions, even though dozens of buildings have now surpassed it in height.

  Canals of Venice
  Anyone who’s been to Venice, Italy, knows that it’s one of the most magical places on earth. Sitting in the Adriatic Sea like a vision the city is emblematic of art, culture, and the power of imagination. Venice contains over 150 canals, spanned by over 400 bridges. The largest canal in the city, the Grand Canal (“Cannalasso”), is approximately 2 miles (3 km) long and wends its way in a giant “S” curve through the city from the train station to the Piazzo San Marco and the stunning church of Santa Maria de Salute, at which point it is over 350 feet wide.

  Leaning Tower of Pisa
  The Pisa Tower, otherwise known as the Leaning Tower of Pisa, really was a labor of love, taking well over a hundred and fifty years to build. This tower is the campanile of the cathedral of Italy, which means that it is a freestanding bell tower. The tower still continues to sink every year, under the watchful eyes of scientists who are ensuring that the structure is still safe. Although the ground is still swampy below the tower, it has settled greatly from its first days of construction so that it only now sinks about one or two millimeters per year. It is quite safe for tourists.

  Acropolis of Athens
  Greece is the home to a number of acropolises or ‘high cities’, yet no visit to Greece would be complete without taking in the ancient splendor of the Acropolis of Athens. The Acropolis is accessible only from the west as it is bordered by cliff faces in the other three directions. Visitors can either walk or arrange transport by lift to arrive at the Propylaea. The Propylaea, built between 437 and 432 BCE, is the monumental gateway to the Acropolis. The building consists of a main structure flanked by two wings. Inside the buildings, Doric and Ionic columns divided the spaces. Lavishly painted walls or panels in the north building gave the entire structure its name.
