What building or monument is the most beautiful in Europe?

[Shazzam]

What do you think is the most beautiful monument/building in Europe. I just find it so hard to pick.

I would have to say the my favorites (and the ones I would like to visit are):

The Eiffel Tower
London Bridge
Buckingham Palace

It's hard to say, but the first one that came to my mind was the Neuschwanstein Castle, in Füssen, Germany.

Well, those are all well known buildins , but I'm not sure that they are also most beautiful too... It's hard to tell, It can be some unknown wooden toilet in nowhere.

The Colosseum must be very impressive too, I would like to see some of the old buildings in Italy, Venice etc. It must be an amazing place.

I have never really understood the history around Stonehenge. Wasn't it suppose to be some meeting place originally, it was never really a building but more like an ampitheatre?

I think all of them are equally beautiful but my choice would be Stonehenge...it's so mystical...

I like :

1. The Tower of Pisa :

The 12 th –century tower , one of Italy’s most famous images , was closed in 1990 because it was deemed to be Leaning too far for tourist to climb safely .

2. Red Squre :

A squre in Moscow , Russia , about ¼ mile (0.4 kilometer) long, lies just outside the walls of the Kremlin . The tomb of Lenin was placed in Red Squre .

3. The Coliseum :

A famous building in Rome , Italy , built by the Roman emperors Vespasian and Titus for contests and games . The Building was completed by A.D.80. Parts of it are still standing .


4. Hagia Sophia (Aya Sofya) :

Emperor Justinian (East Roman) commissioned Hagia Sophia Church. The construction was begun in 532 and its opening ceremony took place in 537. It was dedicated to Christ as Holy Wisdom. The architects of the building are Anthemios of Tralles and Isidoros of Miletos. Materials were brought from Ephesus, Athens, Rome, and Delphi and were used in the construction of this magnificent building. This church occupies a dominant place adjacent to the walls encircling the palace of the Ottoman sultans in Istanbul. Sultan Fatih Mehmet converted this building into a mosque shortly after he conquered the city of Constantinople (1453). It became the mosque of the Topkapi Palace (Istanbul) after the relocation of the palace from Bayazid to Sarayburnu. Hence, Hagia Sophia became a ceremonial sultan mosque, where each friday Muslims from the suburbs of the city gathered to pray in the company of the sultan. Its name was modified as Aya Sofya Camisi. As the most prominent building of a religion revealed by God, Hagia Sophia was celebrated widely among the Christians and Muslims alike. Thanks to this precept, this grandiose monument still stands in all its majesty. Now its used as Museum, there is no religious service.
