The City of Shibam
Shibam is famous for having some of the world's oldest skyscrapers.  The city was demolished twice by floods and invasions.  When the people rebuilt it they had to rebuild the buildings exactly as they had been originally.  Because of this, the architecture is very similar even to the point that people can walk across platforms from their windows form house to house.
