The St. Ignatius church in Rome was built between 1626 and 1650. The interior is full of interesting ceiling paintings.
If you walk to the center of the church, you'll see a "dome" above. The dome is a fake, but it sure looks real, especially from the side
Researchers believe that the original project ran out of funding, so they hired a skillful painter to paint the fake dome.
The Big Pump is now located at 508 N. Grand Ave., King City, Missouri. It is now a museum opens during weekends and holidays.
According to local folks, the pump was built over 60 years ago, when Kyle Phares, the owner of a gas station bought a new electric gas pump. He likes the new pump so much that he decided to build a giant replica to be the station's office and rest rooms.

This upside down house is located in a tiny village call Szymbark in Poland.
There are 2 floors; you can enter from the side. The interior of the house
is also upside down with furniture hanging from above.
The house was created by Polish businessman. It's supposed to be a symbol of
the communist era.
Thousands of tourists visit the house every year. Seasick pills are
recommended since many of them reported mild dizziness and seasickness after
few minutes of being inside.
In fact, the construction of the house was delayed because workers were
disorientated by the weird angles of the walls.
