ancient structures
Pyramids and temples
Ancient structures are buildings, monuments, or architectural remains from civilizations of the distant past—pyramids, temples, aqueducts, stone circles.
The phrase typically refers to constructions at least several centuries old, often from antiquity: The ancient structures of Rome still draw millions of visitors.
The term emphasizes both age and the engineering or cultural achievement they represent.
