I thought it would be nice to put up a thread of your own country's great architecture. Italy:
(Temple of Minerva)
(Temple of Portunus)
(Palazzo della Consulta [Constitutional Court setting])
(St Marks Basilica) |

They are all too lazy to search for Architectures I think. It's sad that all most people care about history is war and weapons.

Ridderzaal (The westerkerk is a church and the ridderzaal a part of the
parliamentary buildings, for some reason there usage is swapped in
Cossacks) Paleis op de Dam If we include all human-built structures in architecture, the Netherlands are of course most famous for these: |

San Diego, California
 /b]NOTE: None of the people in these pics are me...I googled them... ----    ------- That's Balboa Park, and it was originally for a show in the early 1900s, but the city liked it so much they decided to keep it (it was supposed to be torn down). It's really a hodgepodge of different architecture, and I think it's nice looking... however, the United States in general, has little architecture to call its own. |

And now for my Spanish side:
 Random castle outside of Madrid.  The Plaza de Cibeles in Madrid  One of the many gates into the inner (old) city of Toledo.  Avila - one of the few cities with fully preserved Roman walls. I've only been their once, sadly, however, I don't regret going their one bit! |
