50+ Of The Most Impressive Lost Architectural Structures

"Nothing Here Survived To The Present Day": 50+ Of The Most Spectacular Examples Of Architecture

There have been countless architectural gems built over centuries that people have had the chance to admire. Everything from authentic houses of worship to spectacular bridges, stations, and entire old towns, among other structures, have been a mesmerizing sight for their eyes at some point throughout history. Unfortunately, we lost many impressive architectural structures like these that couldn’t stand the test of time and can now only be admired in photographs.

We have gathered some such photographs on this list to marvel at. They were shared by the ‘Lost Architecture‘ community—”a subreddit devoted to images and discussion of interesting buildings that no longer exist,” as their description reads. It covers all sorts of impressive structures destroyed by wars and other calamities, sadly leaving us with little more than a picture of what it once was. (H/T)
