landmark building
Famous architectural site
A landmark building is a structure recognized for its historical, architectural, or cultural significance, often protected by law from demolition or major alteration.
Such buildings typically define a city's skyline or character—think the Empire State Building or Notre-Dame.
The designation may be official, granted by preservation boards, or informal, reflecting public sentiment.
The old theater was declared a landmark building to prevent developers from tearing it down.
