1. Mosque-Cathedral of Córdoba, Spain: Cordoba has an interesting history in that for hundreds of years, it was occupied back and forth by various religious groups - Roman, Visigoth, Islamic, Jewish and Christian to name a few. For a period, it also went back and forth between the Catholic church and mosque, including a brief period when the two religions split the building.
2. Church of the Savior on Spilt Blood, Russia: This multi coloured cathedral sits on the execution site of Emperor Alexander II and was built in his memory from 1883 to 1907.
3. The Alhambra, Spain: The second Spanish attraction on the list also happens to be the most-visited monument in Spain. It is a medieval fortress and palace which looks out over the city through a maze of perfectly-manicured gardens, elaborate architecture and reflecting pools.
4. Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool , United States: This is one of the most iconic structures in the US and has important historical significance in the American Civil Rights Movement.
5. Milan Duomo, Italy: This is is the second largest cathedral in Italy (after the Vatican), and was built over a period of nearly 600 years - between 1386 through to 1965.
