Architecture of your nation

The stave church doesn't seem to have any Chinese influence at all since Chinese roofs are generally curved and the building is supported by columns not walls.

I've always loved Chinese architecture..beautiful, simply beautiful.

Originally posted by Quetzalcoatl the stavechurches were built before the mongols came to europe. And they themselves never came to Norway.    I think it was a joke and you didn't quite get it. The mongols were nomads, they didn't have any form of architecture.

i thought he meant that the Mongols may have seen some Chinese architecture and brought it to Norway.

Wrong  post

 LOL, my country can't stand a hair compared to the stuff here. Most of our stuff is ruined Roman architecture because we are too lazy to try and restore them in the past, or too poor, and the rest is Ottoman remnants or Byzantine.

Anyway, here it is:

Statue of Skenderbeg, our national hero:

Skenderbeg museum and old Castle. When he first betrayed the Ottomans, it is said he raised the Albanian flag for the first time here.

theres Italian architecture and theres Roman architecture. Last time I went to  Rome to Italy and I looked at the architecture. it was very different from Roman.  Which is a copy or Etruscan and Greek.
