The Louvre is a museum that holds some of the most famous artists work. Leonardo DaVinci, Jacques Louis David, Delacroix, and Alexandros of Antioch have some of their masterpieces there. The Louvre was not a museum for art until after the French Revolution. The Louvre Pyramid, which is located in the front of the museum, is intended as the main entrance to the museum. The Louvre was named after Le Louvre-Lens, a candidate to build a satellite building outside of Paris.

The Eiffel Tower was named after Gustave Eiffel, the engineer and designer. The tower was built between the years 1887 and 1889. Up to 6,719,200 people visited the tower in 2006, but around 500,000,000 people visited it since its construction. This landmark is the tallest in Paris.

The construction of the Colosseum started around 70 to 72 AD under Vespasian, the emperor. It was later completed under Titus in the year 80 AD. Gladiatorial contests were held at the Colosseum, as well as animal hunts, mock sea battles, re-enactments of famous battles, dramas based on Classical mythology, and executions. The building was later used as an entertainment area in the early medieval era. Today the Colosseum is still standing, but in ruins from earthquakes and stone robbers.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a freestanding bell tower. The tower was intended to stand straight instead of slightly leaning, but because of poorly laid foundation and loose layers of rock and soil, the tower began to lean around the year 1178. The architect has not yet been identified, but many people are led to believe that Diotisalvi designed the tower.
