MEMORABLE LANDMARKS OF EUROPE

2. 1.
CANALS OF AMSTERDAM - AMSTERDAM
Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands, has been called the "Venice of the North" for its more than
one hundred kilometres ofcanals, about 90 islands and 1,500 bridges. The three
main canals, Herengracht, Prinsengracht, and Keizersgracht, dug in the 17th century during the Dutch
Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside the main
canals are 1550 monumental buildings. The 17th-century canal ring area, including the Prinsengracht,
Keizersgracht, Herengracht and Jordaan, were placed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2010.
Almost half of the original water in Amsterdam was lost to landfills, but a full 25 percent of the city's
surface still consists of navigable waterways. With 65 miles of ancient canals, Amsterdam is still the
most watery city in the world.
2.
THE GRAND PALACE - BRUSSELS
The Grand Place or Grote Markt is the central square of Brussels. It is surrounded by guildhalls, the
city's Town Hall, and the Breadhouse. The square is the most important tourist destination and most
memorable landmark in Brussels. It measures 68 by 110 metres (223 by 360 ft), and it is
a UNESCO World Heritage Site. In the 10th century, Charles, Duke of Lower Lorraine constructed a
fort on Saint-Géry Island, the furthest inland point at which the Senneriver was still navigable. This
was the seed of what would become Brussels. Every two years in August, an enormous "flower
carpet" is set up in the Grand Place for a few days. A million colourful begonias are set up in patterns,
and the display covers a full 24 by 77 metres (79 by 253 ft), for area total of 1,800 square metres
(19,000 sq ft).The first flower carpet was made in 1971, and due to its popularity, the tradition
continued, with the flower carpet attracting a large number of tourists.

3. 3.
GRAND CANAL OF VENICE – ITALY
The Grand is a canal in Venice, Italy. It forms one of the major water-traffic corridors in the city.
Public transport is provided by water buses and private water taxis, and many tourists explore the
canal bygondola. At one end, the canal leads into the lagoon near the Santa Lucia railway station and
the other end leads into Saint Mark Basin; in between, it makes a large reverse-S shape through the
central districts of Venice. It is 3,800 m long, 30–90 m wide, with an average depth of five meters
(16.5 ft). The banks of the Grand Canal are lined with more than 170 buildings, most of which date
from the 13th to the 18th century, and demonstrate the welfare and art created by the Republic of
Venice. The churches along the canal include the basilica of Santa Maria della Salute. Centuries-old
traditions, such as the Historical Regatta, are perpetuated every year along the Canal.
4.
EIFFEL TOWER OF PARIS - FRANCE
The Eiffel Tower is an iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris, named after the
engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower. Erected in 1889 as the
entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair, it has become both a global cultural icon of France and one of
the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest structure in Paris and the most-
visited paid monument in the world; 7.1 million people ascended it in 2011. The tower received its
250 millionth visitor in 2010. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the tower has been used for
radio transmission. Until the 1950s, an occasionally modified set of antenna wires ran from the
summit to anchors on the Avenue de Suffren and Champ de Mars. They were connected to long-wave
transmitters in small bunkers; in 1909, a permanent underground radio centre was built near the
south pillar and still exists today. On 20 November 1913, the Paris Observatory, using the Eiffel Tower
as an antenna, exchanged sustained wireless signals with the United States Naval Observatory which
used an antenna in Arlington, Virginia.

4. 5.

bridge in London which crosses the River Thames. It is an iconic symbol of London. The bridge
consists of two towers tied together at the upper level by means of two horizontal walkways,
designed to withstand the horizontal forces exerted by the suspended sections of the bridge on the
landward sides of the towers. The bridge's present colour scheme dates from 1977, when it was
painted red, white and blue for Queen Elizabeth II's silver jubilee. Originally it was painted a mid
greenish-blue colour.

5. 7.
AMALIENBORG PALACE - DENMARK
The winter residence of the Danish monarchy, Amalienborg comprises a total of four separate
palaces, surrounding a spacious plaza and appearing almost as neighbouring stately mansions. Each
of these palaces (Brockdorfske, Levetzaus, Moltkes and Schackske) are equally impressive landmarks
and they all date from the mid-18th century, being adopted by the Denmark's royal family in 1794,
after their present home of Christiansborg Castle was badly damaged by fire. The Copenhagen
Frederikskirken stands close by and this beautiful Baroque church is famous for being constructed
almost entirely out of marble. This palace just feels right - from the layout of the square to the
perfectly proportioned four buildings positioned at each corner. One of the buildings is the city
residence of H.M. The Danish Queen so that was out of bounds. However, the building open to the
public is well worth visiting if one is interested in gaining a glimpse.
8.
STOCKHOLM & ROYAL PALACE –SWEDEN
Stockholm, one of the most beautiful capitals in the world, is built on 14 islands connected by 57
bridges. The beautiful buildings, the greenery, the fresh air and the proximity to the water are

Stadsholmen, in Gamla Stan in the capital, Stockholm. The palace is built of brick, with midsections of

in which the sword Szczerbiec, was used in coronation ceremonies, is exhibited today and is another
remnant of this period. Other structures were developed on the hill during that time as well, in order
to serve as quarters for the numerous clergy, royal clerks and craftsmen. Defensive walls and towers
such as Jordanka, Lubranka, Sandomierska, Tęczyńska, Szlachecka, Złodziejska and Panieńska were

the "Charles Bridge" since 1870. As the only means of crossing the river Vltava (Moldau) until 1841,
the Charles Bridge was the most important connection between Prague Castle and the city's Old
Town and adjacent areas. This "solid-land" connection made Prague important as a trade route
between Eastern and Western Europe. The bridge is 621 m long and nearly 10 m wide, resting on 16
arches shielded by ice guards. It is protected by three bridge towers, two of them on the Lesser
Quarter side and the third one on the Old Town side. The bridge is decorated by a continuous alley of

replaced by replicas.

Alps near the former border with Moldavia. The castle is now a museum open to tourists, displaying

of Athensand containing the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historic
significance, the most famous being the Parthenon. Although there are many other acropoleis
in Greece, the significance of the Acropolis of Athens is such that it is commonly known as "The
Acropolis" without qualification. While there is evidence that the hill was inhabited as far back as the
fourth millennium BC, it was Pericles (c. 495 – 429 BC) in the fifth century BC who coordinated the
construction of the site's most important buildings including the Parthenon, the Propylaia, the
Erechtheion and the temple of Athena Nike. The Parthenon and the other buildings were seriously
damaged during the 1687 siege by the Venetians in the Morean War when the Parthenon was being
used for gunpowder storage and was hit by a cannonball. The Acropolis was formally proclaimed as
the preeminent monument on the European Cultural Heritage list of monuments on 26 March 2007.

in Sofia occupies an area of 3,170 square metres (34,100 sq ft) and can hold 10,000 people inside. The

entrances. The castle became the official royal residence from 1139, when Portugal became
independent from the Kingdom of León, until circa 1200. In 1910, the castle was declared a national

architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926). Although incomplete, the church is a UNESCO World Heritage
Site, and in November 2010 Pope Benedict XVI consecrated and proclaimed it a minor basilica, as
distinct from a cathedral which must be the seat of a bishop. Though construction of Sagrada Família
had commenced in 1882, Gaudí became involved in 1883, taking over the project and transforming it
with his architectural and engineering style—combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms.
Gaudí devoted his last years to the project, and at the time of his death at age 73 in 1926, less than a
quarter of the project was complete
