    Rome is the capital of Italy. The city is located in


    the central-western
    portion
    of
    the
    Italian pennsula, within Lazio (Latium), along
    the shores of Tiber river. The vatican city is
    an independent country geographically located
    within the city boundaries of Rome, the only
    existing example of a country within the city: for
    this reason Rome has been often defined as
    capital of two statesIn the picture you can
    see the St. Peters Basilica, which was built
    between 1506 and 1626 and borders the aquare
    to the west. The cathedral is the largest in the
    world. its interior is decorated with magnificent
    monuments, many of which were created by the
    great Bernini.
    The Sydney Opera House in Sydney, New South"
    wales, Australia is one of the most distinctive
    and famous 20th-century buildings, and one of
    the most famous performing arts venues in the
    world. Situated on Bennelong point in Sydney
    Harbour, with parkland to its south and close to
    the enormous Sydney Harbour Bridge, the
    building and its surroundings form an iconic
    Australian image. To some the spherical-sectioned
    shells remind them of the flotilla of sailboats
    commonly cruising there. Tourists - mostly with
    little or no interest in opera - throng to the
    building in their thousands every week purely to
    see it. As well as many touring theatre, ballet,
    and musical productions the Opera house is the
    Home of Opera Australia, the Sydney theatre.
    company and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra
    in the picture you can see the building of the
    bridge coincided with the construction of a
    system of underground railways in Sydney's
    CBD, known today as the City Circle, and the
    bridge was designed with this in mind. The
    bridge was designed to carry six lanes of road
    traffic, flanked by two railway tracks and a
    footpath on each side. Both sets of rail tracks
    were linked into the underground Wynyard
    railway station, on the south side of the bridge,
    by symmetrical ramps and tunnels. The easternside railway tracks were used to carry trams
    from the north into a terminal within that station.

    Edinburgh (Scotland) Edinburgh


    Castle

    Dubai (United Arab Emirates) The


    Burj Khalifa

    Edinburgh (Scotland) Scotland's most famous


    castle dominating the city skyline, there is plenty
    to see and do with the perfect balance between
    all things traditional and contemporary. There
    are World-class museums and galleries to visit,
    excellent shopping to distract you and some of
    Scotlands finest restaurants to tempt your
    tastebuds. In the picture you can see the
    Edinburgh Castle is situated on Castle Rock in
    the city of Edinburgh, Scotland. Castle Rock
    formed after a volcano erupted over 340 million
    years ago. The first castle that existed on the
    rock was known as The Castle of the Maidens.
    According to legend, the castle had been a
    shrine to the Nine Maidens, one of whom was
    Morgan le Fay.
    Dubai (United Arab Emirates) is the main trading
    center of the entire Gulf, has the principal port
    facilities of the UAE as well as its busiest airport,
    and has several large commercial enterprises.
    The UAE has four other international airports.
    Several features of the UAE's demography are
    unusual. The population in 1995 was 15 times
    larger than it was in 1965, largely due to the
    immigration of male expatriate workers. Fourfifths of the UAE's inhabitants are foreign
    workers and their dependents. In the picture you
    can see the Vertical City and A Living Wonder,
    Burj Khalifa, developed by Dubai-based Emaar
    Properties PJSC, is the worlds tallest
    building.Rising gracefully from the desert, Burj
    Khalifa honors the city with its extraordinary
    union of art, engineering and meticulous
    craftsmanship. At 828 meters (2,716.5 ft), the
    200-storey Burj Khalifa has over 160 habitable
    stories, the most of any building in the world.
    The tower was inaugurated on January 4, 2010,
    to coincide with the fourth anniversary of the
    Accession Day of His Highness Sheikh
    Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum as the
    Ruler of Dubai. Arguably the worlds most
    prestigious address, Burj Khalifa is responsible
    for a number of worldfirsts. The tower became
    the worlds tallest man-made structure just 1,325
    days after excavation work started in January
