Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials, respectively. (American, guessing from the recognizable structures that show up in our cultural exports)



Nope. I couldn't identify those, and I visited DC when I was about 14.

The Washington Monument (the big obelisk thing?), the White House, and the Pentagon -- the last as much because it's used in the news in the same way that "10 Downing Street" is, but unlike a London street, the Pentagon is a unique, distinctive structure.


They are commonly shown in tv and films but I doubt many outside the US could actually name them.


That just about sums it up, yes. Not too bad for one city.


And they're on our currency :)
