Chand Baori Well
This is the Chand Baori Well in India. It was built in the 10th century as a practical solution to the water problem in the area. It is 30 meters deep, it has 13 floors and 3,500 steps. And legends say that ghosts build it in one night and that it has so many steps to make it impossible for someone to retrieve a coin once it’s been dropped in the well.
