THE TAJ MAHAL
The Taj Mahal is a white marble mausoleum recognised as 'the jewel of Muslim art in India'. It is regarded as one of the finest examples of Mughal architecture – an amalgamation of Persian, Turkish and Indian styles.
The most impressive in the Taj Mahal complex next to the tomb, is the main gate, which stands majestically in the centre of the southern wall of the forecourt. The gate is flanked on the north front by double arcade galleries. The garden in front of the galleries is subdivided into four quarters by two main walkways and each quarters in turn subdivided by the narrower cross-axial walkways, on the Timurid-Persian scheme of thewalled in garden. The enclosure walls on the east and west have a pavilion at the centre.
The Taj Mahal is a perfect symmetrical planned building, with an emphasis of bilateral symmetry along a central axis on which the main features are placed. The building material used is brick-in-lime mortar veneered with red sandstone and marble and inlay work of precious/semi precious stones. The mosque and the guest house in the Taj Mahal complex are built of red sandstone in contrast to the marble tomb in the centre. Both the buildings have a large platform over the terrace at their front. Both the mosque and the guest house are the identical structures.

🌵The Colosseum🌵
The Colosseum is the remains of the Flavian Amphitheatre. It is located in the center of Rome, Italy. The construction process began under the Flavian dynasty. It is the biggest amphitheatre in the world and it is considered to be the greatest work of the Roman architect. Nowadays it is the most visited tourism object in Rome.
The Colloseum was an eliptical construction of wall surrounding an eliptical arena where various of shows were held as an entertainment for the citizen of Rome. But now what we can see from the building is the remains of the ruin, most of the wall is no longer intact. The building is made of concrete and sand. The size of the building is 29.484 square meters and the size of the arena is 24.000 square meters. The outer wall’s height is 545 meters, and the height of the inner wall is 48 meters. There are 80 entrance that we can use to enter the building, 4 of this entrance, located on each axis of the ellipse shape of the building, was used for noble and elite only.
The arena is in the center of the building and it is lower than the seat of the audience. The Colloseum could hold up to 50.000 spectators which will occupy a descending level style of seats. The first level of the seats, which is the closest one to the arena, is used by the Emperor and high rank official of Rome. The higher the seat gets the lower the level of the audience became. The arena’s floor that used to made of wood and covered by sand has broken, showing the underground structure consist of secret passage, rooms and animal’s cages where The Gladiator and the beast stayed before the competition. This underground structure is called hypogeum.
Because of earthquake and fire damage, the Colosseum underwent repair until the 6th century. However, after the 6th century, the Colosseum sat in disrepair, was neglected, and used as a quarry for hundreds of years. Some of the outer arcades and most of the inner skeleton of the Colosseum remain intact today.
Nowadays, Colloseum is a major tourist attraction in Rome with thousands of tourists each year entering to view the interior arena. There is now a museum dedicated to Eros located in the upper floor of the outer wall of the building. Part of the arena floor has been re-floored.
