Famous buildings can be found in most tourist destinations around the world, each with a different history and architecture, each with a unique story that makes them even more interesting. All are special and differ from each other in several ways, but below we will present those that have white in common.
Among the most famous, but also beautiful buildings in the world are the white ones, which stand out through their light shades, thus acquiring a kind of "majesty" and unique purity compared to others.
Below you will find ten of the most famous white buildings in the world:
St Paul's Cathedral in London was built by architect Christopher Wren and is one of the most visited places in London. Its dome is impressive and stands at a height of 112 meters.
The famous Taj Mahal mausoleum was built by the fifth Mughal emperor, Shah Jahan, in memory of his second wife Mumtaz Mahal, which is why it became known as a monument to love and "a symbol of eternal love". It is located in Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India.
Another white building is the Sydney Opera House and certainly the most famous building in Australia. Its realization and design belong to the Danish architect Jørn Utzon.
The Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy represents one of the most interesting buildings in the world precisely because its foundation began to sink immediately after the start of construction. Thus, the inclination of the tower was the aspect that brought fame to this monument. The building is 50 meters high and weighs approximately 14 and a half tons.
One of the most important contributions to 20th-century modern architecture is the Villa Savoye, designed by the famous architect Le Corbusier. The building is located in Poissy, a commune outside Paris.
The White House in Washington, the main residence and workplace of all US presidents, is undoubtedly one of the most famous buildings in the world; and certainly the most famous white one, as its name suggests.

The Faisal Mosque was designed by Turkish architect Vedat Dalokay and is located in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.
The Burj al-Arab hotel, located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, is another white building that catches our eye with its unique design. It was designed by British architect Tom Wright and became known especially for being the only 7-star hotel.
