The Taj Mahal is perfect for your careful, warm personality, because it shines with its pale marble and the splendorous details of its architecture are never-ending!

Security, safety, elegance. You do not open your arms to anybody and like to preserve your dignity. You are likely to enjoy the safety of strict schedules, formal procedures and get to know others step by step. Here is your monument - The Great Wall of China! It is much more than a wall: for centuries it was a diplomatic tool, too. Difficult to tear down, this wall makes justice to strength, persistence and commitment.

You seem to be pretty down to earth and enjoy everything historical, seasoned and intellectually defying. This is why your monument belongs to one of the greatest civilizations of all time: Ancient Egypt.

Your monument truly honors the cultural side of the human species. Be proud!

Machu Picchu: can you pronounce it? Located in Peru, it was built by the Incas around 1450. It is mysterious, surrounded by the incredible wonders of nature and waiting for adventurous people like you to explore it. In fact, historians say that just 40% of the original site of Machu Picchu was constructed above ground, with much more lying hidden underneath.

Oh, the elegance! A modern, fashionable person, you never let yourself be influenced by traditions for the sake of traditions. You like to live an urban lifestyle and have tons of fun while doing it. You love dressing classy yet fierce, and this is why the Eiffel Tower is your twin: elegant at first sight, tough when you take a closer look. Besides...people also can't avoid looking twice when you pass by!

Barcelona, Barcelona! What else could you expect? You are creative, easily bored, love breaking routines and live each day like it's your last. Three words: La Sagrada Familia. Curiously enough, this monument is actually a Roman Catholic church. However, it was designed by the creative, distinctive genious Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, making it a building that could perfectly be part of a Tim Burton film! It remains incomplete to date, kind of like yourself: you are simply a work in progress, and you love it!

Power, grandiosity, wealth. Your answers have led you to the grand Colosseum of Rome (70–80 AD), considered one of the greatest works of architecture and engineering in the world.

You are strong, enjoy physical activity, love the pleasures of life and enjoy being entertained. A monument for the grand!
