city landmark
Iconic urban structure
A city landmark is a prominent or distinctive feature of an urban area—a building, monument, or site that serves as a recognizable point of reference.
Landmarks may be architecturally significant, historically important, or simply well-known: The clock tower has been a city landmark for over a century.
Some landmarks receive official designation protecting them from demolition or alteration.
