A centrepiece of the Bulgarian capital Sofia, the Cathedral is the the seat of the Patriarch of Bulgaria. Built between 1882 and 1912, by architect Alexander Pomerantsev in the Neo-Byzantine style, it is one of the largest Eastern Orthodox cathedrals in the world, able to hold as many as 10,000 people inside.

Commissioned by the Eastern Roman Emperor Justinian the Great after the Nika Riots destroyed much of Constantinople, the Hagia Sophia stood as the beating heart of Eastern Orthodoxy for nearly a thousand years.

Representative of its multicultural history, Hagia Sophia represents a hybrid between the Romans and Ottomans and their respective religions.
One of the most well-known feats of architecture and the most-visited paid monument in the world, the Eiffel Tower is a cultural icon emblematic of the city of Paris and France as a whole. With concept work by Maurice Koechlin and Émile Nouguier, and being built by Gustave Eiffel between 1887 and 1889, it served as the entrance to the 1889 World's Fair on the Champ de Mars. Upon completion, it was the first structure to pass the 200- and 300-metre marks, surpassing the Washington Monument as the tallest man-made structure: a title it would hold for 41 years before the completion of the Chrysler Building.

An ancient temple in Palmyra dedicated to the Mesopotamian god Bel, it would have been a centerpiece of the ancient Roman Syrian city. Once among the best preserved ruins in Palmyra, it was destroyed by ISIS as an act of anti-polytheistic iconoclasm in 2015. The Project aims to restore the Temple, creating an artistic recreation of what we thought it might have looked like during the height of Palmyrene power.
