Top 10 Most Beautiful Buildings in the World

Centuries ago, listing the most beautiful buildings in the world was such an easy task that you put Taj Mahal and Parthenon on the top and that’s it. Today, with the powerful countries reinventing architecture, that is a tough task.

United States’ buildings used to top lists. The historical Spanish and English influences left US with the Carpenter’s Hall and Massachusetts State House, to include just examples. In the modern time it is no more about just the States. Many Asian countries are ferociously competing. So we are tempted to include such buildings like the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona, Burj Al Arab in Dubai, and Sound and Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision among others that you can check in the following list.
