I love to observe the architecture as I travel from place to place. Obviously styles change over the years and , as a result,  in many cases, architecture can be used to ascertain the age of a particular building. Gothic buildings, for instance, suggests that these structures date from the 12th to the 16th centuries.

Like anyone else, I have seen specific buildings and other structures which have fascinated me over the years for one reason or another, a fact which has led to this list of Gary’s favorite buildings in the world.  Feel free to agree or disagree with my list and realize that this list will evolve over the years as long as I continue to travel.
