Young supporters of pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) celebrate the results of the legislative election in Diyarbakir. The HDP easily surpassed the 10 percent barrier needed to send MPs to parliament. Under Turkey's proportional representation system, this means the Turkey's Islamic-rooted Justice and Development Party (AKP) will need to form a coalition for the first time since it first came to power in 2002.

Described by Unesco as "an absolute masterpiece of architecture and a unique testimony to the Inca civilization,” Machu Picchu is an incredible citadel, found high in the Andes mountains and nearly 8,000ft above sea level.



The iconic statue of Christ the Redeemer, which towers over Rio de Janeiro from its vantage point at the peak of Corcovado mountain, took nine years to build and was completed in 1931. The viewing platform at the statue’s base draws 300,000 visitors a year.



Italy has no shortage of architectural delights, but Florence has a strong claim on being the most beautiful of all its cities. The spectacular Gothic-Renaissance cathedral, the Cattedrale di Santa Maria del Fiore – known to locals as simply “Il Duomo di Firenz” – is a particular highlight.



As familiar as you may be with the unmistakeable "crown of palaces", nothing can quite compare to seeing the world’s most famous mausoleum with your own eyes. The Taj Mahal is still one of the most spectacular buildings on offer anywhere in the world, drawing millions of visitors each year.



The "City of a Hundred Spires" is a treasure trove of streets, churches and towers, many of which have barely changed since Medieval times. Prague’s Old Town is home to world’s oldest working astronomical clock, built in 1410.
