5 Oldest Buildings In The World That Are Still In Use

1. Sanchi

Construction Year: 3rd Century BC

Location: Madhya Pradesh, India

Commissioned by the Mauryan emperor Ashoka the Great, the Great Sanchi Stupa was originally built in the 3rd Century BC. Sanchi was remodeled around 185 BC to twice its original size. The oldest surviving building is a stone structure made up of giant stone slabs to form a flattened dome that stands 22 meters tall and sits at the top of a hill. Although Sanchi had been abandoned for about 6 centuries, the Stupas were restored in the 20th century and the site now relentlessly attracts Buddhist worshippers.
