Peace Tower (7 photos)
It is a strange and unusual, at least for the European view, the construction - the so-called "Tower of the world." Adherents of religion "PL Kyodan", built it in 1970 in the city of tondabayashi, near Osaka, believes that it has become a sectarian sculptural monument dedicated to the souls of those who died in wars.
Impressive and that at an altitude of 180 meters, the center of gravity is located at an altitude of 12 meters above ground level, the tower can withstand any Japanese earthquake and they say, can list up to 45 °.
The area occupied by the headquarters and a bunch of other facilities - hotels, hospitals, schools, publishers, etc., a little less than 1000 (!) Hectare (this despite a Japanese population density) and it is arranged every year in July, one of the largest fireworks in the world.
