Millions of tourists visit the world's architectural monuments every year. Few people will be surprised by a photo of the Eiffel Tower or the London Clock.

But if you show a photo next to the Chinese Eiffel Tower or the Canadian Big Ben, you will definitely stun your followers. OBOZREVATEL has collected 10 architectural look-alikes that you probably didn't know about.

Big Ben is the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster in London. In another part of the world, namely in the Canadian capital of Ottawa, you can see an equally spectacular structure - the Peace Tower, which is part of the Parliament building.

The Colosseum is a building of Ancient Rome, which is visited by about 6 million tourists every year. The cost of a standard ticket is 16 euros. However, a similar amphitheater can be found in the Croatian city of Pula. To visit it, you will need to pay only 6 euros.

Tower Bridge has become a world-famous symbol of London, combining a swing and suspension structure at the same time. There is a replica of London Bridge in the Chinese city of Suzhou.

The Acropolis is an ancient Greek fortress. There are so many tourists here that it is impossible to take a picture without a crowd. The ancient city of Ephesus in Turkey can compete with the Athens fortress. Here you can see a whole complex of different buildings that will be no less interesting.

You have seen the most famous Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco in Hollywood movies many times. Its incredible replica 25th April can be found near Lisbon.

The U.S. Capitol is always on the list of tourists visiting Washington. A similar structure can be found in Cuba. The Havana Capitol is located in the heart of the city.

Stonehenge is one of the most famous landmarks in the world. Every year, a million tourists come to see the stone structure. There is an equally mysterious place in the town of Callanish in Scotland. There are no fences here, and you can touch the stones, which are up to 5 thousand years old.

Many people have probably heard of the famous ancient city of the Inca Empire - Machu Picchu. Getting to it is a rather difficult task physically, because the village is located at an altitude. A good alternative is the island of Isla del Sol in Bolivia, which is located on the beautiful Lake Titicaca. According to a legend, the Inca Empire was founded in this place.

Each of us has ever dreamed of visiting Venice to enjoy the architectural landscape of the city on the water. To save twice the price, you can go to the French city of Colmar.

A huge number of tourists come to the Leaning Tower of Pisa to take a photo in front of it. However, few people know that there is a smaller copy of the Italian gem in Illinois, US.
