View of the Folly from Schonbrunn Palace
Built to rival the palace of Versailles, Schonbrunn palace is a huge site including state rooms, ornate gardens, a zoo, botanical gardens and over 100 acres of parkland.

Leaning Tower of Pisa
Not only the tower by the Baptist and Cathedral on the same site all tilt. The land started to slip soon after construction which is why substantial shoring up was done to prevent collapse. Unfortunately, despite the care and quality of craftsmanship in the detail, the overall impact impact is dimishished. Also notice the how the top levels are not square.

The Dome of the Cathedral of the Saint of the Flower – Florence
The largest freestanding, brick built dome in the world. Larger than the Dome at St Peter’s in the Vatican by 20cm. Incredibly Brunellesci completed the construction in 16 years in 1436. This using engineering techniques and mathematics never seen before, indeed modern maths was only invented in the 20th Century that fully describes the dynamics.
