A number of Nepal's iconic UNESCO World Heritage sites and landmarks, including the Dharahara Tower built for a queen, have been destroyed following the earthquake that hit the country Saturday morning, killing over 2,000 people.
The 60-meter-high tower, built in 1832 with a viewing balcony that had been open to visitors for a decade, was destroyed by the magnitude 7.9 earthquake. A jagged stump 10 meters high is all that’s left of the lighthouse-like structure, according to Reuters. As bodies were pulled from the ruins, a policeman reportedly said that up to 200 people had been trapped inside.
