]] ]] ]] in Tehran ]] Originally, a landmark literally meant a Geographic Feature used by Explorers and others to find their way back or through an area. In modern usage, it includes anything that is easily recognizable, such as a Monument , Building , or other Structure . In American English it is the main term used to designate places that might be of interest to Tourist s due to notable physical features or historical significance. Landmarks in the British English sense are often used for casual Navigation , such as giving Direction s. This is done in American English as well. A variant is a '' Seamark '' or '' Daymark '', a structure usually built intentionally to aid sailors navigating featureless coasts. An example is the tower at Walton-on-the-Naze . LIST OF WORLD WIDE LANDMARKS Landmarks also may be split into two distinct categories: naturally occurring (e.g., physical features such as waterfalls and mountains), and structures constructed by humans.
