Manaksha Memon draws attention to wonderful places
The world is a combination of good and not-so-good places but there are some that are wonderful to look at. Some more wonderful sites and some of these outstanding places are natural and some are man-made yet both types are very alluring. These sites are not only very attractive to view but also offer opportunities to contemplate. In any case, these sites are highly revered and are visited by a multitude of visitors.
Here Is The List Of Some More Wonderful Sites
Hagia Sophia in Istanbul
The Hagia Sophia in Istanbul has had a tumultuous history since its construction in the fourth century. Built to be the Christian basilica for Constantinople, it then became a mosque, and later a museum in 1934.
The Golden Gate Bridge
The most visible recognition of San Francisco is its famous Golden Gate Bridge. This marvel of engineering spanning 6,450 feet extends all the way to the city of Sausalito. Painted orange to limit rust caused by the sea air, it is a wonder to behold when it is lit up each night.
The Louvre Palace
The Louvre Palace is a former residence used by the royalty of France while visiting Paris. Its construction has spanned almost 800 years, making it incredibly rich in history.
Mount Fuji
Mount Fiji is one of the most iconic panoramic vistas in Japan. The mountain is considered a sacred place and a source of artistic inspiration. Its snow-covered volcanic cone has inspired many artists, including the celebrated master printmaker Hokusai.
The Palace of Versailles
The Palace of Versailles, located on the outskirts of Paris, was built at the command of King Louis XIV to extol the grandeur of the French monarchy. The result was a monumental palace with multiple gardens and fountains that continue to enchant visitors from around the world.
The Sistine Chapel
It is within the Sistine Chapel, in the Apostolic Palace in Vatican City, that cardinals traditionally convene to elect a new pope.
Pompeii
An ancient city from the Roman Empire, Pompeii suddenly disappeared in 79 CE after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The city would be rediscovered centuries later, buried under layers of sediment, its numerous inhabitants are frozen in time and conserved by the ashes, making it a truly unique archaeological site.
