Medina of Marrakesh (Marrakesh - Morocco)

Founded in 1070–72 by the Almoravids, Marrakesh remained a political, economic and cultural centre for a long period. 

Its influence was felt throughout the western Muslim world, from North Africa to Andalusia. 

It has several impressive monuments dating from that period: the Koutoubiya Mosque, the Kasbah, the battlements, monumental doors, gardens, etc. Later architectural jewels include the Bandiâ Palace, the Ben Youssef Madrasa, the Saadian Tombs, several great residences and Place Jamaâ El Fna, a veritable open-air theatre.

Megalithic Temples of Malta (Malta)

Seven megalithic temples are found on the islands of Malta and Gozo, each the result of an individual development. 

The two temples of Ggantija on the island of Gozo are notable for their gigantic Bronze Age structures. 

On the island of Malta, the temples of Hagar Qin, Mnajdra and Tarxien are unique architectural masterpieces, given the limited resources available to their builders. 

The Ta'Hagrat and Skorba complexes show how the tradition of temple-building was handed down in Malta.

Ellora Caves (Aurangabad - India)

These 34 monasteries and temples, extending over more than 2 km, were dug side by side in the wall of a high basalt cliff, not far from Aurangabad, in Maharashtra. 

Ellora, with its uninterrupted sequence of monuments dating from A.D. 600 to 1000, brings the civilization of ancient India to life. 

Not only is the Ellora complex a unique artistic creation and a technological exploit but, with its sanctuaries devoted to Buddhism, Hinduism and Jainism, it illustrates the spirit of tolerance that was characteristic of ancient India.
