2. Statue of liberty
New York City. The statue, designed by Frédéric Auguste
Bartholdi, an Italian-French sculptor,[7] and dedicated on
October 28, 1886, was a gift to the United States from the
people of France. The statue is of a robed female figure
representing Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom,
who bears a torch and a tabula ansata (a tablet evoking
the law) upon which is inscribed the date of the
American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776. A
broken chain lies at her feet. The statue is an icon of
freedom and of the United States: a welcoming signal to
immigrants arriving from abroad.
3. Tower bridge of London
Tower Bridge (built 1886–1894) is a
combined bascule and suspension
bridge in London which crosses the River Thames. It
is close to the Tower of London, from which it takes
its name, and has become an iconic symbol of
London.
4. The Coliseum, also known as the Flavian Amphitheatre (Latin:
Amphitheatrum Flavium; Italian: Anfiteatro Flavio or Colosseo) is an
elliptical amphitheatre in the centre of the city of Rome, Italy. Built of
concrete and stone,[1] it was the largest amphitheatre of the Roman
Empire, and is considered one of the greatest works of Roman
architecture and engineering. It is the largest amphitheatre in the world.
5. Suez Canal
The Suez Canal
Is an artificial sea-level waterway in Egypt,
connecting the Mediterranean Sea and the Red
Sea. Opened in November 1869 after 10 years of
construction, it allows ships to travel between Europe
and eastern Asia without navigating around Africa
thereby reducing the sea voyage distance between
Europe and India by about 7,000 kilometres (4,300
mi). The northern terminus is Port Said; the southern
terminus is Port Tewfik at the city of Suez. Ismailia is on
its west bank, 3 km (1.9 mi) from the half-way
point.[1]
