It is too expensive to look after and repair old buildings. This money should be spent on building modern buildings instead. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Ancient monuments are the prominent evidence of our rich and great history;

this

architecture should be preserved and well-maintained to keep the past alive.

However

, some people argue that the hefty money

that is

spent on these old

buildings

should be used to construct new ones which coincide with today's world. I totally disagree with the notion for the reasons which are explained in the following paragraphs.

To begin

with, the aged structures enhance the beauty and profoundness of a nation; history researchers and tourists all around the globe get lured by the art and craft of

this

architecture.

For instance

, Taj Mehal is one of the seven wonders of the world and the key attraction for numerous travellers from other nations, it ensures the magnificent lifestyle of Indias' emperors.

Nevertheless

, these

buildings

are not only the pride of the nation but

also

contribute to the economy of the country by generating revenues. The innovation of old

buildings

could ruin their original value and look similar to others. Alongside, if all the ancient

buildings

get reconstructed in the same manner,

then

the world's countries lose their uniqueness. The similarities in the appearance would be demotivated the tourists to travel to others territories.

On the other hand

, these monuments are the impeccable source of knowledge and civilisation; imparting invaluable information to the youngsters regarding the civic nature of their forefathers enrich their importance.

Also

, destruction of the

buildings

in order to build modern ones might be kind of disrespectful towards our ancestors. To conclude

then

, undoubtedly, a big chunk should of money is needed in response to maintain old sculptures;

however

, considering the importance of the

buildings

in generating revenues and the richness of the cultural value would definitely encourage the government authorities to preserve and maintain these valuable and magnificent monuments.
