    Bet the residents of the top floor penthouse feel safe in high winds. Although it makes me wounder how much it sways with the wind to avoid the glass cracking.

    Built in the 16th century, this structure is noted for its multicolored towers. The architect of this structure was blinded to prevent him from ever creating anything to rival its beauty. It was built to commemorate Ivan the Terrible's successful military campaign against the Tartar Mongols.
