Castles, fortresses and palaces of our planet best reflect the cultures of the countries that built them. Versailles, Neuschwanstein, Algam and the Catherine Palace, Taj Mahal belong to the most beautiful and most famous architecture monuments of this world. However, along with these great buildings, there are much less famous and, as it might seem at first glance, insignificant, but actually lurking a lot of beautiful and amazing. The best proof of this is this book with wonderful illustrations. For example, the station building in Bombay, combining a gorgeous neo -barroacro, colonial style, oriental ornament and Indian splendor.
