This is in Ashgabat, the capital of Turkmenistan. Among many, many strange things, this one actually stands out a little bit. If you're into architecture that involves a lot of gold and marble, you can't find a better place to visit.

Like after a good vindaloo meal. But they've built a fence around it now, so it feels a bit less wild, I would imagine.

Goodness that looks expensive. Makes sense, Ashgabat is known for decorating well.

What was underwhelming? Nothing much to see around from the top?
