The Red Fort in Delhi: A Symbol of Mughal Power and Heritage
The Red Fort, locally known as Lal Qila, is one of India’s most iconic monuments and a masterpiece of Mughal architecture. Built in 1648 by Emperor Shah Jahan, the fort served as the main residence of the Mughal emperors for nearly 200 years. Constructed from massive red sandstone walls, it stretches over 2 kilometres and houses a complex of palaces, halls, gardens, and ornate gateways that reflect the grandeur of the Mughal era.
The Great Wall of China: A Monument of Human Effort
The Great Wall of China is one of the most extraordinary architectural and engineering achievements in human history. Stretching for more than 13,000 miles across northern China, it was not built in a single effort but over many centuries, beginning as early as the 7th century BC. Originally constructed to protect Chinese states and empires from invasions, the wall also became a lasting symbol of resilience and unity. Built with stone, brick, tamped earth, and wood, it winds through rugged mountains, vast deserts, and fertile plains, blending seamlessly with the natural landscape. Today, as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Great Wall of China stands as one of the most visited and admired landmarks in the world.
20 Fenchurch Street: London’s Walkie Talkie Building
20 Fenchurch Street, better known as the Walkie Talkie Building because of its distinctive top-heavy shape, is one of the most recognisable skyscrapers in London. Completed in 2014 and standing 160 metres tall, it has transformed the skyline of the City of London’s financial district.
Designed by architect Rafael Viñoly, the building is most famous for its unique design and the Sky Garden – a public garden located at the top floors, offering panoramic views across London. The curved glass façade not only makes the Walkie Talkie stand out among London’s high-rises but also symbolises the city’s blend of historic streets with modern architecture.
Today, 20 Fenchurch Street is home to offices, restaurants, and the Sky Garden, which has become one of the city’s most popular attractions for both Londoners and tourists.
