The Golden Gate Bridge, the Eiffel Tower, the Sydney Opera House, the statue of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro… Familiar sights? Even if you haven't seen them with your own eyes, you've probably heard about them and seen them in pictures or on TV more than once. And looking at these huge symbols of human labor and effort, it seems as if they have always been in their places. But they were built - gradually, stone by stone, floor by floor. How much blood, sweat and tears were shed during the construction of these great structures! Let's look at the photos taken during the construction of these masterpieces of construction and architecture. (Total 30 photos)
