Many Olympic facilities, which at the height of their popularity (at the time of the Olympic Games) were an architectural masterpiece, today show a shabby image, which is a far cry from the one of years ago, when people crowded there. After the spotlights receded, they became home to stray dogs and cats and weeds. Many former Olympic venues have been cruelly dealt with by fate, and today you will look for the former glory there in vain. Find out below which are these neglected and abandoned Olympic facilities, which are far from the image of their best years.

Every city has them, namely abandoned buildings. Those sad images that decay before the eyes of the public. Houses of spirits. Nevertheless, there is something magical in this decay, rotting and reeking of the building's "corpse".

These, told by abandoned and decaying buildings scattered across Europe, are documented by Christian Richter.
Fans of classical architecture today are often disappointed because most modern architectural solutions are modern and minimalistic, but the rich style still does not ring the bell. A good example is the Palace of Farmers building of the Ministry of Agriculture in Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan (an autonomous republic of the Russian Federation). It is an exceptional work that leans on architecture from the past, and the silhouette of a wrought iron tree caught in a massive arch catches the eye.
Believe it or not, even when it comes to the height of the building, there have been disputes. The title of the tallest building is somehow too tempting to give up without a fight. Thus, the bone of contention between the skyscrapers 40 Wall Street and the Chrysler Building in the "Big Apple" was the antenna, as both buildings were then competing for the title of tallest building in the world. Today, this title belongs to the Burj Khalifa in Dubai (UAE). It can also boast of quite a few "lengths", while American and Chinese cities are famous for the tallest buildings in the world.
Here's a look at the list of the 10 tallest skyscrapers expected to be completed in 2015. They include China's tallest building, a future skyscraper in New York, and Russia's super-tall, modern skyscrapers.
