OT: What is the most iconic building in the world that jumps to mind?

Mount st. Michel comes to mind. It is amazing to me how few Americans know about it. It is huge with Two hotels and several restaurants inside

Growing up in state college I would almost say hammonds because my dads office was there but really it was old main.

as a kid, old main is a huge building standing tall on top of a hill and it defines Penn state.

another for me was my first trip to New York and seeing the sun glisten off of the twin towers. Amazing sight!

And the correct answer is:

The Cathedral of Learning, sitting majestically in that cesspool we call Oakland (nowhere near downtown Pittsburgh).

Great call.
Was set to spend a couple of evenings there, on site.
Trip planned to Normandy France, pandemic changed trip plans
To experience the feel for Utah Beach.

Wife's dad landed there month after D Day..
She's working on his Army memoirs.

Hope to get to that neck of the woods over next couple of years.

Great photo of lost travel potentialities
Thanks

,,,cheers++
 
Another one that nobody's mentioned is The Colosseum in Rome. Think of what went on there a couple of thousand years ago - just staggering. It's still the largest amphitheatre in the world despite its age.
