The landmark itself is mysterious and a true masterpiece
However, don't expect anything more than the building
No guidance, not much information
Also, the entrance fee is very cheap and apparently free for children
The place is accessible for people who use a wheelchair but the path is not safe at all
In fact the path to the landmark is not very safe for anyone

Just Try to step on the circle (on the pic) and face on the tower, then talk! this is Just Amazing! you have to experience what i'm saying!
