Mali, in North Africa, is home to the largest building made out of clay; the structure only took one year to complete. For the construction of Neuschwanstein Castle, 465 tons of marble were hefted to the Alps to the building site. The Atomium in Brussels boasts the longest escalators in Europe. The largest mosque in the world is as big as 56 football fields. 'The Illustrated Atlas of Architecture and Marvelous Monuments' presents a world of breathtaking buildings and their incredible stories through illustrated maps and engaging factsheets.
