\"lotus<\/p>\n

Popularly known as the Lotus Temple<\/strong> , the temple is actually the last of the Baha’i Temples found in various parts of the world. Known as the Lotus Temple due to its bird’s eye view, this temple was built in 1986 and its doors are open to anyone who agrees to be quiet. It is not allowed to make any noise in the temple, or anything that could disrupt the energy released during meditation.<\/p>\n

The reason why the lotus flower was inspired by the temple designed by the famous Iranian architect Fariborz Sahba is that the lotus flower represents purity and holiness in Hinduism. The architectural structure, which can accommodate 2500 people, covers an area of 105,000 square meters. More than 70 million people have visited the temple so far.

2) Empire State Building \u2013 New York \/ USA<\/h2>\n

\"empire<\/p>\n

The Empire State is one of the first things that come to mind when it comes to iconic architectural structures. The 102-story, 443.2-meter-long Empire State Building<\/strong> was the tallest building in the world until the Twin Towers in America were built. To understand the length of the building, let’s give the following information; Some days in winter, it was seen that while it was raining at the level of the lower floors of the building, it was snowing on the top floor. In a year like 1930, its construction took only 20 months. For Americans, the place of this building is quite special.<\/p>\n

The Empire State Building was built in 1931 during the Great Depression, one of the worst economic crises in US history. Despite the economic crisis, this building has become an important trade center, bringing together thousands of employees. For this reason, the Empire State is seen as a monument of courage for the nation of America. Although it was designed with an Art Deco influence, the Empire States Building has a very plain and unadorned architecture.<\/p>\n

Today, the building is one of New York’s most important and most visited architectural landmarks. But the building got its share from the Great Depression when it was built. In the first years of the building’s completion, many offices were left empty. For this reason, the architectural structure was called the “Empty State Building”. With the end of the economic depression in the country, the Empire State Building started to get the attention it deserved and the building turned into a symbol that hosts 15,000 workers a day. Today, the 86th floor of the building. The viewing terrace on the ground floor welcomes thousands of visitors.<\/p>\n

\"sanmarco<\/p>\n

Continuing to be the most important church in the city since it was built to preserve the bones of San Marco, one of the 12 apostles, St. Mark’s Basilica<\/strong> is located in San Marco square and resembles the churches in Istanbul rather than an Italian church. The basilica was built on the model of the Church of the Holy Apostles in Istanbul. Today, you might think that such a church does not exist.<\/p>\n

After the conquest of Istanbul, it was converted into a mosque \u2013 Fatih Mosque. The famous St. Mark’s Basilica is a copy of the Fatih Mosque, which used to be a church. The building, whose construction was completed in 1094, was built in the shape of a Greek Cross. But this is a detail that can only be noticed inside the building. The basilica has five domes. There are gilded Byzantine mosaics on the dome. Inside the basilica, there are museums<\/a> , gold sculptures, and glass works. The statue of four horsemen at the entrance of the church depicts the “four horsemen of the apocalypse”. Undoubtedly, San Marco has a very important place among architectural structures based on the Christian religion.<\/p>\n
