The cost of the Notre Dame Cathedral may never be known because historians do not have records of how much it costs to build. If it were to be sold, however, its material value would not come close to its historical value. Paris scholars have suggested that if the cathedral were ever auctioned, they would begin the bidding at 160 million dollars. This of course is hypothetical and would never happen.

Big Ben - the world-renowned clock tower that resides in London, England - was built in 1858 after a fire destroyed the old Palace of Westminister. The clock tower was renamed the Elizabeth Tower in 2012 to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's 60th anniversary as queen.
Most 16-year-old Spaniards do, so it's apparently possible.
To the best of my knowledge it is a self-supporting tower ( of Iron, not modern Steel) and the only cables would be those for radio and TV transmission ( from the top) and of course the elevators, which are open-frame commoner in Europe than in the US. Not for the Acrophobe- you see the ascent in full view- unlike opaque elevators in most office buildings in US.
Scientists say the early pedestrians (Greeks) use the stone henge to calculate the the whole solar system (Wow). As you watch *Mysteries of the Universe*, They reveal the secrets of the stone henge. If your in a specific spot, as you can see, the moon stands above the heel rock and reveals another secret that tells us we need to see the next one in winter. But some henges sinks under ground. So scientist use advanced technology to tell what the whole site looks like when the henges where all there. As they looked closer, the sun squeezes between the henges. Which means when early pedestrians doesn't have any technology like ours, they're still smart enough to calculate the whole solar system
The Colosseum was called the Flavian Amphitheatre when it was built. The name Colosseum would not come to be applied to the building until the end of the 1st millennium A.D. The name derived from an enormous statue of the Emperor Nero right next to the amphitheatre. The statue was known as the Colossus of Nero after the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. The name Colosseum gradually came to be applied to that amphitheatre by nature of it's proximity to the Colossus and it's own colossal size.
There are probably hundreds of myths and legends about Stonehenge. Various people have attributed the building of this great megalith to the Danes, Romans, Saxons, Greeks, Atlantes, Egyptians, Phoenicians Celts, King Aurelius Ambrosius's, Merlin, and even Aliens.
One of the most popular beliefs was that Stonehenge was built by the Druids. These high priests of the Celts, constructed it for sacrificial ceremonies. It was John Aubrey, who first linked Stonehenge to the Druids. Additionally, Dr. William Stukeley, another Stonehenge antiquary, also claimed the Druids were Stonehenge's builders. Stukeley studied Stonehenge a century later than Aubrey and became so involved in the study of the Druid religion that he himself became one. Through his work he was very instrumental in popularizing the theory that Stonehenge was built by Druids.
No. Big Ben is actually the name of the 14 ton bell in the Clock Tower at the Palace of Westminster in London. It was installed in 1859.
Notre dame is 96 metres, the Eiffel tower however is 324 metres.
UK easily! Big ben, London eye, angel of the north, gerkin, shard, stonehenge....
big ben clock tower looks like an owl when looked at from one of the front corners, using both clock faces as eyes
There is a restaurant on the 1st level called 58 Tour Eiffel. I would imagine there would be a bathroom on that level. Whether or not it's open to the public in the viewing section is another matter. (I bet if you really had to go, and asked very nice; they might let you go. Most French people are very kind). On the top level when I was there in May 2009, I couldn't find a bathroom. I didn't need to go. I was simply curious. They did serve champagne though, for a heart stopping 10 Euros a glass...
Yes, Big Ben is a tourist attraction that is located in the City of Westminster and although the public are unable to enter inside many 'important people' are allowed inside. If you get on one of London's Double Decker tourist buses it should go past the clock tower (Big Ben) and many tourists can then get pictures of the famous building.
Andrew Jackson approved the construction of the current Treasury Building in 1836. There is a persistent legend that he built it to block the view of the Capitol from the White House, but this is a later myth. Construction continued until 1869, although it was almost stopped at one point.
