The Whispering Wall

The Whispering Wall has always amazed me since I was young. I could not understand how it worked, but it made it all the more mysterious and magical.

The truth is not so much magical, as it is a principle of Physics. If you stand against the wall and whisper something, the person on the other side of the dam can hear you more than 100ms away. 

It was built between 1899 and 1903. You can read all about the Whispering Wall here and here.
