9 Platform of Arts and Creativity Would Surely Get My Creativity On

The Platform of Arts and Creativity is located in Guimaraes, Portugal. The interior building is built into three different sections. The first annexe is dedicated to workshops, to help students engineer different projects. Beside are “creative labs” where students can brainstorm and try out their genius projects. Lastly, a creative studio for art and performances, as well as a gallery in dedication to the art of Portugal’s famous artist, Jose de Guimaraes, according to Architectural Digest.

Though this architectural building may look like it’s made of gold, brass pipes panels make up the golden color artistic design. As stunning as this building is during the day, the panels change colors in the evening, making it a must-see.

8 Sri Venkateswara (Balaji) Temple Is A Monument Of A Lifetime

The Shri Venkateswara temple is located on the outskirts of Tirupati, India. At this temple, worshippers pray to the Hindu god, Vishu, and his many different forms and deities. Presently, temple attendees have been gathering to worship the deity of the Venkateswana.

However, if one was to travel to India as a tourist, the main attraction for this temple would be the large golden dome roof that sits high above the current deity. It is believed that the Shri Venkateswara temple was built in the 19th century, but there are no records as to when exactly it was, in fact, built.

7 The Iglesia de la Compañia Will Make Anyone Gasp

Talk about bling! The Iglesia de la Compania is built on 2 tons of pure solid gold. Currently, the domes are the parts of the church that are covered in gold. The Spanish church is located in Quito, Ecuador, and the locals of Quito have considered this church to be “Church of the country.” It’s no wonder as to why, given the beautiful architecture structures inside and outside, and the intricate details inside.

Some of the very well-thought out designs can be found in the walls, sporting a bright red color. As well, the pillars have Indigenous faces and plants, and the multiple artistic paintings.
