I've always liked the Great Mosque of Xi'an (China.) Even though Islam was still a very new religion at that time, it supposedly dates all the way back to the Tang dynasty. I like how it was made to fit with the local architecture. A pagoda is as good as any other minaret, I suppose.

Very cool. I bet it smells funny inside. Ive never actually visited any truly ancient structures, but it always occurs to me that they must smell old. Not like grandma old smell either. A good smelling old.
