[Appendix] World landmarks worth knowing about

A delightful landmark exploration that will serve as a starting point for studying world history.

'Why did the Chinese build the Great Wall of China?', 'Why did the outer wall of the Colosseum collapse?', 'What book is the Statue of Liberty holding?' Everyone has probably wondered about these things at least once.
This can be naturally understood if you understand the history of the landmark.
This book is full of various historical events and hidden stories that we didn't know about, such as who built each landmark, when, and for what reason, what architectural style it was built in, and whether there were any conflicts between people or classes surrounding the landmark.
There's no more interesting way to learn about history than by learning about the stories behind each country's landmarks and how they came to be what they are today.
Above all, the 20 landmarks included in this book are important architectural structures that cannot be left out of world history, and are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, and national cultural properties.
Therefore, this delightful architectural exploration that stimulates intellectual curiosity will spark interest in world history and culture, serving as an easy and enjoyable starting point for studying world history.


Enjoy a vivid landmark tour with high-quality photos

Before discussing the value of landmarks as long-standing historical and cultural heritage sites, they are beautiful architectural works of art in themselves.
When you see a landmark that embodies the science, technology, and artistry of its time, you will inevitably exclaim in awe, delight your eyes, and feel your heart ache.
This book allows you to indirectly experience landmarks that provide both joy and emotion through vivid photos.
It includes various views of the exterior from various angles, details that give a glimpse into the structure and features of the building, and an interior that is as beautiful as the exterior.
Readers can feel the excitement of seeing the landmarks right before their eyes through the photos, while at the same time gaining a three-dimensional understanding of the landmarks' architectural style.
In addition, brief introductions and country icons of 20 countries with landmarks are included along with cute illustrations, broadening your understanding of other countries and cultures and fostering global awareness.

Amazing illustrations that captivate the eye

The most striking feature of this book is the landmark illustrations newly drawn by visual storyteller Dong-Hyeon Kwon.
Of course, to truly appreciate a landmark, it's best to see it in person, but realistically, that's not easy.
At this time, it is also a good idea to appreciate the detailed paintings that provide a different kind of emotion than vivid photographs.
Artist Kwon Dong-hyun's paintings, which stand out with their unique warmth and delicacy, allow us to focus more deeply on the beauty of landmarks.
Here, we provide a simple cross-section, bird's-eye view, and landmark-related drawings, allowing you to imagine what it looked like at the time of construction, and it is also very helpful in understanding the history and culture hidden behind the building.
