Architecture thread.
Bonus for historical twist, here's Mont Saint-Michel (Minas Tirith inspiration).
Edinburgh
One of many Russian forts around my town. Entrance to the barracks. Building started around 1895.

the only person who knew the entire city was the mailman, who was nearly irreplaceable. Also, there was surprisingly low crime amongst residents (discounting drugs and prostitution)

Seems pretty interesting though. If you live in a shithole full of paramilitar and druggies maybe you are forced to behave because of greater good... and because you can make a shitfest if you steal from a neighbour.

I'm not even gonna argue. That picture is in Malaysia aswell, I like clear indications that the Islamic culture spread so far, I could give less of a shit that they stole it - I just like the way it looks.

I keep telling my friend she has to take me here if I go to france

Minarets and those stupid onion domes are ugly as shit, IMO. I will, however concede that the geometric patterns in their mosaics are not only beautiful but technically impressive.
>>610683356

Those types of mosques you are talking about mostly originated from Turkey.
There are way more interesting and less kitschy mosques.
Here's one of my most favourites ones, in Samarra, Iraq. Islamic architecture is extremely impressive and was often far more advanced than the western one.

This is stunning, and great thread.
