94 ~~~ Touropia ~~~. 10 Oldest Churches in the World Back before most churches existed, early Christians would gather in neighbourhood homes known as house churches. In fact, the word ‘church’ was also used to describe the Christian community as a whole – the word itself means ‘assembly’ in Greek. By the 1st-century AD, there were already several religious centers in the Holy Land but most of the Christian churches as we know them today began to spread across the globe after the 2nd century From the world-famous St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican City to the birthplace of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem, these are the oldest churches in the world. www.touropia.com/oldest-churches-in-the-world/

95 ~~~ Touropia ~~~ 10 Largest Malls in the World Large shopping malls provide a one-stop shopping for anything imaginable. Our list of largest malls in the world is based on the amount of “Gross Leasable Area”. This is the number of square feet the property has for revenue-generating activities like retail, dining and amusements. The building boom in Asia, where land is cheap and labor costs are low has produced the largest shopping malls. Only two shopping malls on this list are located outside Asia. www.touropia.com/largest-malls-in-the-world/

97 ~~~ Touropia ~~~ 8 Largest Pyramids in the World Modern and ancient pyramids come in many forms and sizes. To determine which is the largest pyramid one could compare their heights for example. At a height of 260 meters (853 feet), the Transamerica Pyramid would certainly be a serious candidate. Many big pyramids however come with a very large base but are not very tall. A better measure of size therefore is probably the volume of a pyramid. The volume of a pyramid can be calculated by the following formula: Length_of_base * Width_of_base * Height * 1/3. This is 54 x 54 x 260 x 1/3 = 252,720 m³ for the Transamerica Pyramid, which isn’t even close enough to be included in our list of biggest pyramids. So with this formula it shouldn’t be too difficult to find the largest pyramids in the world. Unfortunately it isn’t that easy. Many pyramids are not true smooth sided pyramids but stepped pyramids. Another problem is that some of the largest pyramids on earth are still not completely excavated. www.touropia.com/largest-pyramids-in-the-world/

98 ~~~ Touropia ~~~ 6 Largest Indoor Water Parks in the World Now that autumn has arrived (at least in North America) it might be a good idea to start looking for water parks that have the ability to stay open year-round and are not affected by wind and rain. Indoor water parks love to make claims about being America’s biggest indoor water park or even the world’s largest to attract new customers. But only a few can be among the largest indoor water parks in the world. To compare these resorts we look at the square footage of the indoor water park under one roof. Keep in mind though that this is a rapidly evolving industry, and new indoor water parks are constantly popping up while old ones are expanding. www.touropia.com/largest-indoor-water-parks-in-the-world/

99 ~~~ Touropia ~~~ 10 Largest Aquariums in the World The most common size for a home aquarium tank is probably 29 or 30 gallon, though some aquarists have constructed aquariums of many thousands of gallons. Public aquariums can be dramatically larger than any home aquarium. But only a few are big enough to make it to our list of largest aquariums in the world. The kind of aquarium that can hold whale sharks and manta rays. It takes a very large tank to hold these kind of aquatic creatures. In order to compare these large aquariums we have looked at the size of their biggest tank (in gallons). Most aquariums have several tanks and the combined volume of water can be much larger but it is only the largest aquarium tank that is counted. So here’s a list of the largest aquariums in the world. www.touropia.com/largest-aquariums-in-the-world/
