A. Sydney Opera House was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2007 as one of the most iconic buildings in the world.

The formal inauguration of the building took place on 20 October 1973.
B. The Eiffel Tower was built in 1889 in Paris. It was designed as an entrance to the 1889 World's Fair and named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and built the tower.

The City had planned to tear it down in 1909, but as the tower proved to be valuable for the image of the city, it was allowed to remain. Now it has become the symbol of the city, seen as one of the World's wonders.

Gaudi explained it by the fact that straight lines cannot be found anywhere in the wild landscape and it can be made only by men.
E. To mark the end of the Christmas season, Shetland in Scotland celebrates a variety of fire festivals every year.
