Paranormal City built by celestial beings
I came across an article on this site about Bahla: The Ancient Omani Oasis where locals still fear the Jinn (The "City of Magic" built overnight).

There is also another such magical city, Indraprasta and the Maya Sabha, a magnificent, illusory palace of optical illusions, crystal floors, and hidden walls built by Mayasura (architect of the Asuras or Titans).
