Quiz: Most People Can't Name Over 50% Of These Worldly Landmarks. Can You?

A landmark is usually the term used to refer to a recognizeable feature, which can be either natural or made by man. They are usually so distinct that they stand out from the rest of their natural environment and in many cases, can be seen from long distances away. The term landmark is also sometimes used to describe to smaller features or structures, which have become so iconic that they are widely thought of as national or local symbols. Originally, landmarks were used to support navigation and help those who were looking for directions. Typical natural landmarks usually include mountains or plateaus, or even distinct trees. Those landmarks that were made by man are usually monuments or other buildings and structures. Religious buildings can also be landmarks, and become icons of a place.
