A4: At Ulug Beg’s Observatory in Uzbekistan, Laura was struck not only by the scale of the remaining quadrant arc, but also by the precision with which it was made. Its accuracy regarding exact calculations was beaten only by the invention of the computer. #TRLT

A4 #TRLT It probably sounds cliche, but I was awe of the Eiffel Tower the first time I saw it.

A4: Ourense #Spain has the combination of Roman bridges & modern day. I loved the city; plus, it has hot springs. BONUS! via @CharlesMcCool @bradtguides #TRLT #traveltuesday

A4: Built to minimise Iran’s energy shortages and aid with flood control, the Karun-3 Dam is an awe-inspiring engineering marvel. With its arched design and height of 205m, it is not only brilliantly built, but also impressive to look at. Has anyone visited? #TRLT

A4: The Acropolis in Athens left me in awe. So many ancient structures built into that hill. I think of the philosophers who taught there, people who worshiped there, or just those who went for entertainment. In its entirety it's an engineering marvel. #TRLT https://t.co/EU7IXp5jQG

A4 the Museum of Global Communications, Porthcurno - SW tip of Cornwall. The 1st undersea telegraph cable came ashore here in 1870; this was the world's largest telegraph station. It moved to an underground bunker in WWII. @CharlesMcCool @BradtGuides #TRLT

A4: Set on a bridge spanning the Guáitara River, Colombia’s beautiful Gothic basilica of Santuario de Nuestra Senora de las Lajas was voted as one of the seven wonders of Colombia by the readers of Colombian newspaper, Time. When Anna visited she had to agree! #TRLT

A4: For Carys, it has to be Reykjavík’s Hallgrímskirkja, which was built to mimic the crystallised columns of basalt formed by cooling lava. https://t.co/MsjzdeM8CP #TRLT

A4: Laura will never forget the awe-inspiring sight of Angkor Wat first thing in the morning. Constructed between 1113 and 1150, it is believed to be the biggest religious monument ever built, and it's certainly one of the most spectacular. #TRLT

@TheTravelCamel @CharlesMcCool @BradtGuides A4 The Nurburgring, building a 13 mile race track on a mountain in the 1920s is pretty impressive.

@TheTravelCamel @CharlesMcCool @BradtGuides A4 Can I also add this as awe inspiring engineering? Got to go on it a few times when I lived in London.
