10. Hagia Sophia, Turkey
Hagia Sophia is the great architectural landmark at the heart of Istanbul, with its four minarets poised like moon-bound rockets. Constructed in the 6th century AD as an Orthodox church, it later became a mosque and, since 1935, a museum. The enormous structure was built in just five years, and its musk walls are topped by an imposing dome, 31 m wide by 56 m high. The dome's base is ringed by windows, so that from within the structure, the dome seems almost to hover ethereally above the building.
