European Wonders

1. N 51° 4' ; W 1° 48'. Look at the low longitude co-ordinate. Also, there is a replica of this wonder in the Columbia River Gorge near the Maryhill Museum.

2.
N 48° 51' 32" ; E 002° 17' 45". This one has a low longitude number also, but it is to the east of the Prime Meridian, instead of the west. It is named after the person who designed it and it's in the center of the European 'city of love'.

3.
N 47° 44' 00" ; E 10° 19' 02". This building is in the beautiful Bavarian Alps and is one of the most photographed buildings in Europe. It was designed by Mad King Ludwig of Bavaria.

4.
N 41° 53' 24" ; E 12° 29' 31": Gladiators, Christians and lions. Need I say more?
