Qutab Minar in Delhi, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is surrounded by several historically significant monuments of the Qutab complex that often do not get much attention and are usually dwarfed by the beauty and elegance of Qutab Minar itself. Everything is in ruins today, but the entire complex remains so majestic that you'll feel like you're traveling back in time once you're there.

The South Tomb - The Great Step Pyramid Complex at Saqqara Egypt
Another of the most well known, yet enigmatic structures in the whole Djoser complex is a low building in the southwest corner of the south courtyard. It is situated against the enclosure wall and immediately facing the entrance hall. This is the so-called South Tomb.
The south tomb has its own cult chapel, built to the north of the superstructure. Its exterior has niches over which a frieze of cobras protect the facility. It is topped by small drums, suggesting rolled reed mats. An entrance leads from the north into a small room. Lauer thought that a statue of the king once stood here, but Ricke believes that this was where the royal crowns of Upper and Lower Egypt were kept.

Alcobaça
The Alcobaça Monastery (Portuguese: Mosteiro de Alcobaça, Mosteiro de Santa Maria de Alcobaça) is a Catholic monastic complex located in the town of Alcobaça in central Portugal, 120 km (75 mi) north of Lisbon and 110 km (68 mi) south of Coimbra.
The monastery was established in 1153 by the first Portuguese king, Afonso Henriques, and would develop a close association with the Portuguese monarchy throughout its seven-century-long history. This association led to the monastery becoming the richest and most influential in Portugal by 1300, with a population of almost 1,000 monks and business interests including farming, fishing and trade. It closed in 1834, amid the dissolution of the monasteries in Portugal.
In the transept of the church are located the tombs of King Pedro I and his mistress, Inês de Castro, who was assassinated in 1355 by order of Pedro's father, King Afonso IV. After becoming king, Pedro ordered the remains of his beloved to be transferred to her tomb in Alcobaça and, according to a popular legend, had her crowned as queen of Portugal and ordered court members to pay her homage by kissing her decomposing hand.
This pair of royal tombs in Alcobaça, of unknown authorship, are among the best works of Gothic sculpture in Portugal. The tombs are supported by lions, in the case of the king, and half-men half-beasts, in the case of Ines, and both carry the recumbent figures of the deceased assisted by a group of angels. The sides of Pedro's tomb are magnificently decorated with reliefs showing scenes from Saint Bartholomew's life, as well as scenes from Pedro and Ines' life. Her tomb is decorated with scenes from the life of Christ, including the Crucifixion and the Last Judgement.

The vaulting in the cloisters is wooden, a rare occurrence.
They were carved in the late 13th C, and sadly many have deteriorated badly.
The northern walk of the cloisters was demolished and replaced by Wren's library.

Naval museum complex Balaklava (Ukrainian: Морський музейний комплекс "Балаклава", Russian: Музей холодной войны, "The Cold War Museum", designation K-825) is an underground submarine base in Balaklava, Crimea, Russia/Ukraine[1] (originally known as Object 825 GTS). It was a top-secret military facility during the Cold War, located in Balaklava Bay.
Today it serves as a museum and also houses a museum about the Crimean War.
The object is built accordingly to withstand a category-I nuclear explosion (protection from a direct hit by a nuclear yield of 100 kt), which includes a combined underground network of water channels with a dry dock, repair shops, warehouses for storage of torpedoes and other weapons. Additionally it could house personnel to protect them from nuclear fallout. Located in the mountain of Tavros, on both sides of which there are exits. If necessary, caisson gates could be used, which seals the entire complex. To exit to the open sea, an exit is provided on the northern side of the mountain. The holes in the rock are neatly covered with camouflage devices and networks.
Object 825 GTS was intended to house, repair and maintain submarines of Projects 613 and 633. The central water channel of the facility, whose length is at 602 meters, could accommodate up to 7 submarines if necessary, and in all channels, up to 14 submarines of different classes. The water channels have depths up to 8 meters, with width ranging from 12 to 22 meters. The total area of all facilities in this base is around 9600 m2, while the total surface area of water is at 5200. Equipment loading in peacetime was carried out on the pier, while watching out for the movements of spy satellites of the possible military adversary. A special tunnel is used for loading equipment into the base in wartime. The entire complex also includes the repair and technical base, codenamed Object 280, designed for storing and maintaining nuclear arsenal. The temperature inside the base is kept around 15 degrees Celsius.
In the period after the Second World War, the two superpowers, the USSR and the U.S., stepped up their nuclear arsenal, threatening each other with pre-emptive strikes and retaliatory strikes. It was then when Joseph Stalin gave Lavrentiy Beria (who was responsible at that time for "nuclear projects"), a secret directive: to find a place where they could house submarines for a retaliatory nuclear strike. Several years of research pinpointed the quiet Balaklava as the location, and the city was immediately coded and got merged into the city of Sevastopol as a city district. Balaklava sits on a narrow winding inlet with a width of only 200–400 meters. The small inlet protects the city not only from storms, but also from prying eyes, as it is not visible under any angle from the open sea. Additionally, the site is close to Sevastopol, a major naval base still used by the Russian Navy's Black Sea Fleet.
