. Architecture of Old Angkor Wat, outside the city of Angkor Thom, Cambodia, is one of the most beautiful examples of Cambodian or Khmer architecture. The sanctuary was built during the twelfth century. For hundreds of years it was hidden, swallowed up by the jungle. Once uncovered, massive temples, gates, and canals with picture carvings told much about life in the Kmer empire.
Italy The Duomo (cathedral) in Florence, Italy, was founded in 1298, completed by Brunelleschi and consecrated, or declared sacred, in 1436. The oval-shaped dome dominates the entire structure.
