Gravensteen castle, Ghent, Belgium
Authentic castle with parts dating from the 9th century and later 13th century. Note: the walls have corners, and later they found that for invaders it's easier to break corners, so they were built round. So most castles you will see have round walls on the outside.

You don't see 2 pictures?
It's uploaded the same way as my other posts in this topic. You don't see any?
I don't see any of your pictures in this thread. It's fine, don't bother.

I'd say the shul is in Newport, RI, but that one had chairs, not benches.

Right, the Brussels World Expo 1958.
Many famous buildings have been built for this purpose. Inside is usually not too interesting.
Most famously the Eiffel Tower built for the World’s Fair of 1889.

I didn't believe I had to ask people not to cheat.

@Kobe Bryant did you guess it? Or so Yelps response.

It's pictures I toke myself, so still surprised the cheat system figured it out.

Taipei 101
This skyscraper has 101 stories and reaches a height of 1,667 feet (508 metres). At the time of its official opening in October 2004, it was the world’s tallest building (and highest observatory). It's meant to look like a bamboo.
