Sagrada Familia Church, Barcelona

In 1883 the brilliant architect Gaudí agreed to take on this project, succeeding Francisco de Paula. The artist worked on it until his death.

Work to complete this great church still continues today.

The Segovia Aqueduct - This aqueduct is one of the Roman Empire's most astounding engineering feats and one of the best preserved in Spain. It was built at the end of the 1st century and has been used until the middle of the 19th century. There are 166 stone arches on granite ashlars and they have been set without cement or mortar. The aqueduct is the highest and most imposing at the Azoguejo Square. The aqueduct gets water from the Fuenfria Spring that is located in the mountains that are 17 km away. At its tallest, the aqueduct is 28.5 m tall. The structure has both single and double arches that are supported by pillars.

San Jerónimo el Real (St. Jerome Royal Church) is a Roman Catholic church from the early 16th-century in central Madrid (Spain).

The church is the remaining structure of the Hieronymite monastery that once stood beside the royal palace of Buen Retiro, of which a portion now serves as the Prado museum. Its proximity to the royal palace also underscores a connection to royalty, serving for centuries as the church used for the investiture of the Prince of Asturias. In addition, a Mass to celebrate the investiture of King Juan Carlos I was held here. 

CAIS DA RIBEIRA

With photogenic traditional boats floating at the quayside overlooked by colorful ancient houses, this is the most picturesque spot in the city and the place everyone loves -- UNESCO did too, and declared it a World Heritage Site. 

In the background is the Dom Luis I Bridge, Oporto's iconic bridge opened in 1886.  You can also see the series of Port Wine houses across the river, as well as the attractive Cais de Gaia riverfront.
