One of the great wonders of the ancient world, Persepolis embodies not just a grand architectural scheme but also a grand idea. It was conceived by Darius the Great who, in 520 BC, inherited the responsibility for ruling the world's first known empire founded by his predecessor, Cyrus the Great. Embracing tenets such as cultural tolerance and fair treatment of all subjects, Darius sought to reflect these concepts in the design of the magnificent palace complex at Persepolis, inviting architects from the furthest corner of the Persian Empire to contribute to its construction. The result is an eclectic set of structures, including monumental staircases, exquisite reliefs and imposing gateways, that testified to the expanse of Darius' domain.

A demonic figure on the roof of Aarhus Theatre in Theatregaden, Aarhus, eastern Jutland, Denmark. Designed by Hack Kampmann (1856-1920) and completed in 1898, the theatre is still in use for its original purpose. The architectural style is Art Nouveau. The reason for the demon on the roof is not known for certain but it is thought that Kampmann added it to indicate his dislike of the clergy at the nearby cathedral: however, he was responsible for considerable renovation of the cathedral as well, so it seems unlikely.
