    Corcovado, meaning "hunchback" in Portuguese, is a mountain in central Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

  2. The Ferry Building

    Originally built in 1898, this San Francisco landmark at the foot of Market Street was one of the busiest transit terminals in the world prior to the construction of the Bay and Golden Gate Bridges during the 1930s. Ferry traffic declined dramatically thereafter, and from the 1950s until the mid-1990s, the Ferry Building was hidden behind an ugly elevated freeway.

  3. Notre-Dame Basilica

    Notre-Dame Basilica in the old town district of Montreal opened in 1829. It was the largest religious edifice in North America at that time.
