Home›Monuments, Towers and Commemorative Structures›GroupBrowse ByGroupBuilding group gathers buildings into broad families that serve a similar purpose, such as religious, civic or residential structures. Wikipedia notes that "historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements," and those achievements cluster naturally around a handful of recurring building purposes. This grouping lets a visitor compare buildings that were raised to do the same kind of job.GroupComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)GroupFilter Results9 entriesBuilding TypeAllCastle (1)Commercial Property (1)Farm (1)Gate (1)House (2)Monument (5)Museum (3)Palace (1)Pyramid (2)Temple (1)Tower (2)Villa (1)Building FamilyAllAncient Monuments (Pyramids and Obelisks) (1)Commemorative Statues, Columns and Markers (1)Historic Clock and Bell Towers (1)Historic Wells and Fountains (1)Mausoleums, Tombs and Mounds (1)Monument and Tower Types and Terms (Other) (1)National and Iconic Landmark Monuments (1)Observation, Communication and Landmark Towers (1)War Memorials, Military Cemeteries and Camps (1)PlaceAllBelgium (1)Bosnia and Herzegovina (1)Brazil (1)Canada (1)China (1)Czechia (1)Egypt (2)Estonia (1)France (4)Germany (4)Hungary (1)India (5)Iran (1)Ireland (1)Italy (7)Japan (2)Jordan (1)Malaysia (1)Mexico (2)Netherlands (2)New Zealand (1)Philippines (1)Portugal (1)Russia (3)South Korea (1)Sudan (1)Turkey (2)Uganda (1)Ukraine (1)United Kingdom (6)United States (6)Uzbekistan (1)StyleAllAncient Egyptian Architecture (2)Architectural Eclecticism (1)Art Nouveau (1)Empire Style (2)Georgian Architecture (1)Googie Architecture (1)Gothic Architecture (1)Gothic Revival (1)Greek Revival Architecture (1)High-Tech Architecture (2)Indo-Saracenic Architecture (2)Islamic Architecture (2)Maya Architecture (1)Modernist Architecture (2)Mughal Architecture (1)Nabataean Architecture (1)Neo-Futurism (1)Neoclassical Architecture (4)Nubian Architecture (1)Regency Architecture (1)Renaissance Architecture (2)Roman Architecture (1)Romanesque Architecture (2)Stick Style Architecture (1)Traditional Architecture (1)Completed YearAll-2700 (1)-2645 (1)-2640 (1)-2630 (1)-2590 (1)-2560 (1)-2550 (1)-2530 (1)-2510 (1)-2480 (1)-2360 (1)-2340 (1)-2280 (1)-2040 (1)-1990 (1)-1760 (1)-1745 (1)-351 (1)1 (1)100 (1)113 (1)315 (1)1100 (1)1172 (1)1173 (1)1260 (1)1301 (1)1338 (1)1348 (1)1349 (1)1372 (1)1497 (1)1527 (1)1591 (1)1653 (1)1671 (1)1710 (1)1791 (1)1827 (1)1830 (1)1833 (1)1836 (1)1843 (1)1859 (1)1873 (1)1876 (1)1878 (1)1882 (1)1884 (1)1886 (1)1889 (1)1894 (1)1896 (1)1907 (1)1910 (2)1913 (1)1915 (1)1920 (1)1921 (1)1922 (1)1924 (1)1927 (1)1930 (1)1931 (1)1935 (2)1937 (1)1941 (1)1943 (1)1944 (1)1948 (1)1956 (2)1957 (1)1958 (1)1960 (3)1961 (2)1962 (2)1965 (1)1967 (3)1968 (1)1969 (1)1975 (1)1976 (1)1980 (1)1982 (1)1985 (1)1989 (1)1991 (1)1992 (1)1994 (1)1995 (1)1997 (1)1999 (1)2001 (2)2003 (1)2004 (1)2007 (1)2010 (1)2012 (1)Standing StatusAllRuined (1)Standing (9)Under Construction or Never Completed (3)ArchitectAllGustave Eiffel (2)MaterialAllAdobe (1)Arch (1)Ashlar (1)Brick (4)Bronze (1)Cast Iron (1)Concrete (3)Concrete (1)Copper (1)Dome (1)Glass (1)Granite (4)Limestone (5)Marble (7)Masonry (2)Mortar (1)Reinforced Concrete (1)Sandstone (2)Stained Glass (1)Stainless Steel (2)Steel (4)Stone (7)Structural Steel (1)Thatch (1)Timber (1)Truss (1)Wattle and Daub (1)Era of EmergenceAll4000 BCE (1)3000 BCE (1)2630 BCE (1)600 BCE (1)50 BCE (1)1677 CE (1)Origin RegionAllCaucasus (1)Egypt (1)Egypt (Twelfth Dynasty) (1)England (London) (1)Greece (1)Greece (Athens) (1)Syria (1)Show ResultsBrowseCompareAncient Monuments (Pyramids and Obelisks)Group51 entriesCommemorative Statues, Columns and MarkersGroup20 entriesHistoric Clock and Bell TowersGroup5 entriesHistoric Wells and FountainsGroup3 entriesMausoleums, Tombs and MoundsGroup10 entriesMonument and Tower Types and Terms (Other)Group6 entriesNational and Iconic Landmark MonumentsGroup8 entriesObservation, Communication and Landmark TowersGroup30 entriesWar Memorials, Military Cemeteries and CampsGroup16 entriesComments (0)No comments yet.
