Take a moment and have a look at each Lego building and monument below, and then take a step back and think about this: How did they do it? The sheer size, precise detail and the in-depth planning of each creation is mind blowing. This is Lego architecture at its best, when Lego ceases to be a simple kids toy and becomes a modern day sculpture.
In this post we have collected our favorite Lego buildings and monuments from around the World, built by Lego professionals and passionate aficionados. You will find the obvious buildings, like the Eiffel Tower and the Statue of Liberty to lesser known buildings, like the Tower of Belém (our favorite) and the Dome of the Rock. We are sure you will all agree, these buildings are amazing.
For this article to be fully complete we need more buildings from South America, Australia and especially Africa. If anyone knows of any Lego creations from these continents, send us an email here: Contact.

God I Love Lego, These are absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing! Might just play with the Lego with the Kids tonight lol, although its usually just me still sat playing after an hour ;)
12 Oct, 2009
cool post, thanks
12 Oct, 2009
I am the exact same, I start playing Lego with the kids and I won’t stop until I have finished the model. By that time the kids have wondered off, very bored!
Paul.

Thank you,
but this photo
http://speckyboy.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/legobuildingx.jpg
in Palestine, not Israel, the Zionists have no land.
12 Oct, 2009
Awesome list, just minor correction though, Mexico is not in Central America but in North America.
12 Oct, 2009
Are you sure?
12 Oct, 2009
very sure. http://www.google.com/search?q=is+mexico+in+central+america+or+north+america&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

I stand corrected. And I am European, that is my excuse for the mistake! Thanks Edison.
I am on the phone to my geography teacher right now…
12 Oct, 2009
Now you have gone and done it, the kids will never let me on the pc again when they see this lol, thanks:)

The model labeled Westminster Abbey is actually the british parliament building.
13 Oct, 2009
Really great.
13 Oct, 2009
What you claim to be Westmisnter Abbey is actually The Houses of Parliament (or the Westminster Palace as it is less commonly known).
13 Oct, 2009
i like the globe one, looks really hard to do. :)
13 Oct, 2009
really awesome collection you sharing. thanks
13 Oct, 2009
Nice models.
Tom’s right about Westminster Palace.
Another correction – it should read St Peter’s Basilica’. St Peter’s is not a cathedral.
13 Oct, 2009
Also, neither the photo nor the lego masterpiece in Russia is the Kremlin. The lego bit looks to be St. Basil’s cathedral, in the Red Square (next to the Kremlin) and the photo is of the history museum, at the other end of the red square.
13 Oct, 2009
okay, i know there’s a million things more important and this is really cool and all but the photos you have for the LEGO and original “Kremlin” are neither: The photo of the LEGO building is of St. Vasily’s Cathedral and the other building is the State Historical Museum. Neither of these are part of the Kremlin. Still, loved the photos, especially the Acropolis
14 Oct, 2009
Good
=)
20 Oct, 2009
Everyones right about Westminster Abbey, the lego model shown is in fact the Houses of Parliament or Palace of Westminster.

Tut tut tut, Ben…
Shouldnt you be working? Webmaster tools found your incoming link to jumpify :P

Geographically speaking Mexico is in North America. That’s for sure.
Culturally and Economically speaking you may think is Central or South America, but is not.
28 Nov, 2009
Israel in Asia?
Also the Westminster Abbey one is wrong – the model’s of The Palace of Westminster, otherwise known as the UK Houses of Parliament – completey different building as Big Ben is not stuck on the side of the Abbey. Otherwise all cool.
29 Nov, 2009
For your misinformation Mexico is not located in Central America but in North America, great site though.
29 Nov, 2009
Another correction, what you’ve labelled as ‘Big Ben’ is actually the Westminster Clock Tower. Big ben is the name of the bell that strikes the hours.

i am amazed this is very kool …
