Baalbek Stone of the Pregnant Woman: Unbelievably Massive Stone in the Quarry Near Baalbek, Lebanon
The ancient city of Baalbek is one of the greatest archaeological mysteries of all time. Located east of the Litani River in Lebanon, Baalbek is known for its exquisitely detailed yet monumentally scaled Roman temple ruins. These Roman temples were built on top of an ancient 5 million square foot platform that was made from some of the largest stones ever used in any construction project in the history of the earth. The largest stone found weighs 1200 tons and is about 64 feet long

La chapelle Colleoni est un chef d'oeuvre de la Renaissance lombarde due à Giovanni Antonio Amadeo (1447-1522) construite de 1470 à 1476 pour servir de mausolée au condottiere Bartolomeo Colleoni.
Gothic to the max.  I look at this and cant believe all the people that it took to make this beauty.  I think about all the people working up and down this pathway.  What it must have looked like under construction.  I cant even imagine the cost to make it happen in 2014.
