The corona epidemic is raging around the world and over three billion people are in some kind of closure and the result is that many of the world's most famous sites, affiliated with human history and culture, are almost completely deserted.

Seeing the world's major metropolitan centers, alongside the power and power symbols of the superpowers, standing in their desolation, reminiscent of apocalyptic films and highlighting how, despite all technological advances, humanity is still vulnerable. To be impressed by the extent of the phenomenon, we have collected the most important sites in the world, as you have not seen them yet.

Red Square - Moscow



The Moscow Red Square is not only the seat of the Russian government, the Kremlin, and the home of the country's famous church, but also a symbol of the tsarist and communist state of the world's largest state.

Washington National Avenue





Washington National Avenue is between the Capitol Building, the seat of the United States Congress, and memorials to American Democratic founder George Washington, and slave liberator Abraham Lincoln. You could say that it is the symbolic core of the American capital and, as a matter of course, it is inundated with visitors.

Shibuya Junction Tokyo





Tokyo's Shibuya Junction, which is near the Japanese capital's main train station, and its famous crossings usually look like waterfalls of people crossing the busy intersection.

Copacabana - Rio De Janeiro, Brazil





Copacabana in Brazil is one of the world's best known coastal strips and one of the most sought after tourist sites. Before the epidemic, hundreds of thousands would gather every day on the beach, now, photographs from the nearby mountains show how desolate the beach is.

Times Square - New York



The intersection of the famous streets in the huge American city. The square, renowned for its renowned newspaper offices, is best known for its colorful and huge advertising screens and the fact that it is usually full of tourists and passers-by.

Qiangbuk Palace - Seoul





The Qiangbuk Palace is a symbol of the 14th-century Koranic homeland culture and one of the capital's most abysmal tourist sites in Seoul, a metropolis of nearly twenty million people.

St. Patrick's Square - Vatican City, Rome

St. Peter's Square is the center of the Vatican City of Rome, the vibrant heart of Catholic Christianity, with hundreds of millions of believers around the world. The square is designed to hold thousands of spectators as the church's chief, the pope, performs religious ceremonies.

Muhammad Freed Square - Cairo

Muhammad Freed Square is located in the fashionable center of the world's largest Arab capital and the bustling middle east. Now it stands empty and looks more like a center of a ghost neighborhood.

The Golden Temple in Amritsar - India



Harimander Sahib, or the "Golden Temple", is the most sacred site for the Sikhs in India and one of the most mesmerizing and touristic sites in the country. Now apart from his ceremonial guards, he stands desolate as India struggles to spread the plague.
