I just came across this breathtaking oriental building - Adalaj Ni Vav or Adalaj Wav Step Well. I like it's lovely details and columns.

This step well is located near Ahmedabad, India. It is a touristic site, though I've never heard of it before. It was built during the reign of Queen Rudabai, a muslim ruler. The four-level well is dug directly into the water table, exposing fresh
water that rose and fell according the seasons and the amount of
rainfall. Now it's mostly dry.
Spa inspiration, right?
