cultural landmark
Historically significant place
A cultural landmark is a place, structure, or site recognized for its historical, artistic, or social significance to a community or nation.
Unlike natural landmarks, cultural landmarks are human-made or human-shaped: The Eiffel Tower is Paris's most famous cultural landmark.
The term often implies official recognition or protection, though informal use extends to any place strongly associated with a culture's identity or heritage.
