Stonehenge
There are a lot of famous architectural structures in the world. The biggest stone mystery is Stonehenge, located in the UK. The oldest building is also called a cromlech in other words. The question is asked: "Why Cromlech?". This is a building made of stones that are placed vertically and form several circles. The Greeks and Romans did not see any special features in this memo, so it did not bring them any admiration. Locals made up a lot of legends about the construction of Stonehenge.
After much research, Gerald Hawkis came up with the final version. According to the version, this stone riddle was an observatory that allowed the ancient British to make observations on astronomy.
The construction of Stonehenge took place over several centuries. Many nations participated in it. The stones that were used for construction have different structures. They were very large stones. They were delivered more than a year in advance. The stones were processed in several stages. This includes fire, impact, and ground processing.
During the archaeological excavations, it was not only about the cult of the Sun among the ancient British, but also about astronomical calculations in the complex.
The admiration of tourists has no limits. This is especially true during the summer solstice. Stonehenge fascinates millions of people every year.
Big Ben
Another famous architectural structure in England is Big Ben. The original plan for the construction of the tower dates back to 1288. The funds for the construction of the tower were provided by Ralph Hengem, the head of the Supreme Court. Benjamin Hall was the curator of the construction work, so it is believed that the bell was named after him. The architect of this project was Augustus Pugin. The clock tower mechanism was launched in 1859.
A fire that occurred in 1834 completely destroyed the Palace of Westminster. Due to these events, the next date of construction is considered to be 1858. It's a very big tower. There are no mass visits to the tower because there are no elevators to pick up tourists.
The clock is an integral part of the tower and ranks second in the world. The clockwork did not fail, and during the war, after the bombing, they did not slow down.
The Big Ben Tower and the clock tower are the symbol of Great Britain. The British hear it both in moments of joy and in moments of sorrow. The beginning of the New Year also begins with ringing bells.
Tourists can't help but notice such an architectural structure that has lived for centuries. Check out Chicken Road for fast-paced fun.
