Falling Water House, Pennsylvania
The Falling Water House was constructed in Pennsylvania on top of a waterfall that was encircled by woodland, as its name suggests. The Falling Water House, however, which was created by the renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright, wasn’t exactly built with durability or security in mind. In order to correct the mistakes, $11 million had to be raised because the flooring weren’t sturdy enough to support the house and the beams started to fracture under stress.

Meteora Monasteries, Greece
One of the world’s biggest and tallest Eastern Orthodox monastery complexes is found at The Meteora in central Greece. In order to protect them against raids, the original 24 monasteries were constructed atop the natural pillars in the latter part of the 14th century. Fewer than 10 people live in each of the remaining six today. So how do the inhabitants enter and exit? In the past, the only way to get there was by rope, but fortunately today there are stairs that have been cleverly carved into the rock formations.
