Looking very different from the colourful castle it is today, Sleeping Beauty's Castle in Disneyland, California is shown mid-construction. Said to have been modelled after Neuschwanstein in Germany, the magical venue features a real, working drawbridge, though it's only been lowered twice - on opening day in 1955, and again in 1983 to unveil the newly remodelled Fantasyland

In total it took just over four years to build the iconic Golden Gate Bridge. Construction commenced on January 5, 1933, and the bridge was open to vehicular traffic on May 28, 1937. During the construction of the Golden Gate Bridge, workers built a walkway that connected the towers at both sides of the strait so that they could attach the cables for the bridge

Tragically eleven men died during the construction of the bridge. On February 17, ten men lost their lives when a section of scaffold fell through the safety net

The magnificent Sydney Opera House stands proud in the Sydney Harbour, but it didn't come cheap. Construction cost $AUS 102million (£60million) ? a great deal more than the original estimated cost of $AUS 7 million (£4.1million). Impressively the sails were built using specially made cranes from France that cost $AUS 100,000 (£59,000) each

런던의 The Millennium Bridge

The Millennium Bridge was London’s first new Thames crossing in more than 100 years since Tower Bridge was opened in 1894. Embarrassingly it was closed just two days after its launch in 2000 after concerns about how much it swayed. However that hasn't stopped it becoming a popular addition to the Thames and it has starred in several films including Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince

The Brooklyn Bridge forms a staple part of many New Yorker's lives carrying roughly 150,000 vehicles and pedestrians every day

The bridge’s construction took 14 years, involved 600 workers and cost a whopping $15 million (which would be worth more than $320 million today). It opened to the public in 1883

Between October 4, 1927, and October 31, 1941, Gutzon Borglum and 400 workers constructed colossal 60 foot high carvings of U.S. presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln in Mount Rushmore National Memorial to represent the first 130 years of American history. Pictured is the head of Washington and Jefferson from the top of Lincoln's head
