Beautiful Renaissance-style building, built in 1923, was the Mokpo headquarters of the Oriental Development Company, Japan's answer to the British East India Company. Played a key role in Japan's colonization of Korea. Interestingly, it's the largest of South Korea's remaining former Oriental Development Company offices. Was owned by the Navy for some time, and under threat of destruction, but reason prevailed and the building now serves as Mokpo Modern History Museum.

wikipedia: Tokyo Tower (東京タワー, Tōkyō-tawā) is a communications tower located in Shiba Park, Minato, Tokyo, Japan. The 332.6-meter-tall (1,091 ft) orange and white lattice tower is the tallest self-supporting steel structure in the world, the tallest artificial structure in Japan and the 11th tallest tower in the world.
Built in 1958, this Eiffel Tower-like structure supports an antenna that broadcasts television and radio signals for important Japanese media outlets such as NHK, TBS and Fuji TV. In recent years, the tower has also been instrumental in Japan's push to switch from an analog signal to digital signal.
The tower is constructed of steel, a third of which was from recycled World War II scrap steel. Despite being 8.6 meters taller than the Eiffel Tower (32.6 if the tower's TV antenna is included), Tokyo Tower only weighs about 4,000 tons, 3,300 tons less than the Eiffel Tower.

La Basilique Notre Dame de Fourvière, is a minor basilica built with private funds between 1872 and 1884 in a dominant position overlooking the city. The site it occupies was once the Roman forum of Trajan, the forum vetus (old forum), thus its name (as an inverted corruption of the French Vieux-Forum). The design of the basilica, by Pierre Bossan, draws from both Romanesque and Byzantine architecture, two non-Gothic models that were unusual choices at the time. It has four main towers, and a belltower topped with a gilded statue of the Virgin Mary. It features fine mosaics, superb stained glass, and a crypt of Saint Joseph. Fourvière actually contains two churches, one on top of the other. The upper sanctuary is very ornate, while the lower is a much simpler design.

Sheikh Zayed Mosque جامع الشيخ زايد الكبير
The design of the Sheikh Zayed Mosque has been inspired by Persian, Mughal & Alexandrian Mosque. The mosque is large enough to accommodate over 40,000 worshippers, while the main prayer hall can hold over 7,000. There are four minarets on the four corners of the courtyard which rise about 107 m (351 ft) in height. The courtyard with its floral design, measures about 17,000 m2 (180,000 sq ft), and is considered to be the largest example of marble mosaic in the world…
Cette œuvre d'art architectural est l'une des plus grandes mosquées au monde, avec son étonnante capacité d'accueil pour 40 000 fidèles. Elle comprend 80 dômes, environ 1 000 colonnes, des lustres en plaqué or 24 carats, et le plus grand tapis tissé à la main au monde. La salle de prière principale est dominée par l'un des plus larges lustres au monde - 10 mètres de diamètre, 15 mètres de haut et pesant plus de 9 tonnes. La première cérémonie qui y ait eu lieu fût l'enterrement d u Cheikh Zayed, qui est enterré sur le site et qui a donné son nom à la mosquée.
Des bassins réfléchissants entourent la mosquée, amplifiant sa beauté. Les couleurs vibrantes de blanc et d'or, scintillant au soleil, sont remplacées de nuit par un système d'éclairage unique qui reflète les phases de la lune.
Hoa Lo jail is in the centre of Hanoi and was built by the French as Maison Centrale in the late 19th century. During the Vietnam War it was dubbed the "Hanoi Hilton" in the West. US Senator John McCain was jailed there among many other US POWs. What remains of it is now a museum. Two thirds of it was pulled down in the 1990s to build Hanoi Towers, two office and apartment highrise buildings visible in the background of this photo.
