What Are Landmarks?
A LANDMARK is a famous place that people recognize and want to visit. Landmarks can be buildings, monuments, natural features, or structures that are important to a country's history and culture.
Some landmarks were built by people (like the Eiffel Tower). Others were made by nature (like the Grand Canyon). The most famous landmarks are known all over the world — even people who have never visited them know what they look like!
Landmarks are important because they:
- Tell the STORY of a country's history
- Show human CREATIVITY and engineering
- Attract VISITORS from around the world
- Fill people with PRIDE in their country
- Connect us to the PAST
