    Still because we have time, this might not make a top 10 building list,
    but it might make my top 10 buildings to sit across the street from at
    a sidewalk bistro eating cheese fondue and drinking a good riesling
    all evening long:

    Château Frontenac, Quebec City, Quebec

    Palazzo Farnese, Rome (Sangallo and Michelangelo)

    Palacio Güell, Barcelona, Spain:

    More info here, IMHO this is a better piece of architecture than the Casa Batlló:

    the PSFS building in Philadelphia, the first modern skyscraper, preceding the Seagram's building by 20 years. it was the first skyscraper to bare a name atop the structure. they did it not to be the first, but to cover the heating/cooling structure atop the building.

    Ok, I have to get one more from academe

    La Universidad de Sevilla, or as it is otherwise known, 'La Fabrica'. It once housed a Tobacco Factory and basically constitutes a maze nowadays. It is also the major setting for the play 'Carmen'.
