Your Capital City's Landmarks

Postby Luho » Thu Jul 07, 2011 7:47 am

I am just curious of your capital's most famous landmarks

My Capital is called Lorranando

Du Monumenda Impériale

Image

Construction began in 1915 after the civil war overthrew the old Republic and re-established the Monarchy. The Monument is loved by almost all Luhoans and contains the Constitution of the Kingdom. It is the centre of the National Day celebrations (23rd August) In the picture it is under restoration.

Plasi d' Konstidution

Image

The square is where the Civil war officially ended with the signing of the de-establishment of the Republic on the 23rd of August 1914. The monumental buildings include the grand domed Muzea d' Rouvelle Sevali (Civil war Museum) and the less dramatic Banka Nadional (National Bank)

Palazen Royal

Image

Official residence of the Royal Family

Palazen d' Guverne

Image

The former fortress was converted to a stately home in 1753, in 1855 with the establishment of the republic, it was made into the houses of parliament, a function it still serves today

Cadedral St. Oeufu

Image

The grand 13th century cathedral was built in honour of the patron saint of Luho, which back then was a collection of small provinces under one rule. The cathedral is stunning and the coronation place of every monarch

Vontén d' Parca Flora

Image

The Parc d' Flora (Flower Park) is famous for its flowers and the fountain, which is best seen at night

The ArghNeedAName capital is Ankh Morpork. Here's a few famous landmarks:

The Palace of Morpork is the seat of the National Assembly. It stands on the site of the old Patrician's Palace and was built to house both chambers of the ArghNeedAName Parliament in 1820, though soon outgrew its size. It was badly damaged by shelling during the 1929 October Coup, and now only houses one chamber of Parliament.
Image


The Palace of Ankh is the seat of the Senate. It was built in 1774 as a residence for the Ramkin family, passed into the Vimes family and was later sold to the city. It became the city hall, then a courthouse, then became seat of the House of Lords and later the Senate. It was badly damaged by shelling during the 1929 Constitutional Crisis (yes, it wasn't a very good year)
Image


City Hall is the headquarters of the city government and legislature. It was built in 1895 on the site of the Pseudopolis Yard watch house to replace the Palace of Ankh.
Image


All major arteries radiate from here, and all distances to the city are measured to the entrance of the building
Image


Plaza of the Broken Moons is the largest square in the city, at the heart of the shopping district. The area is home to both chain shops and the busiest market in the country. The Unseen University buildings are seen to the right.
Image


The southeastern courner of Winterthur Place - the large public square infront of the Palace of Morpork. The building in the centre is the headquarters of the National Intestate Monetary Fund, the nation's unofficial central bank. To the left is the Ankh Morpork Stock Exchange, in the bottom right corner is the Bank of Ankh Morpork, and in the top left hand corner is the Ankh Morpork Mint headquarters.
Image


The Morpork Terminal is the largest railway station in ArghNeedAName, handling 120 million railway passengers a year and just as many Metro passengers.

Canterlot, the capital of Equestria, is one big landmark, a giant castle carved into a mountainside:

The most prominent landmark of Stalliongrad, the capital of the Greater Pony Herd, is the National Library, a much larger reproduction of Ponyville library that serves both as an library, seat of government and the residence of the Herd's governor, Twilight Sparkle.

that would have to be the sacred grove in its center and the woumbsnugs, an extensive underground maze of very narrow passages of self polishing stainless walls and smooth and rounded surfaces built by an agoraphobic sect and now occupied mostly by students attending the university. along with cameroi's one spaceport those would be the other two. many consider the transportation network a wonder in and of itself as well of course.

cameroi culture is such that most cameroi would rather do things themselves then be impressed by someone else doing so. mazelike palaces of strangeness in which many people live in the dead end corners and are always adding more rooms and hallways, randomly in accordance with each own whim and will are a common feature of many cameroi communities. as with other towns, nebethira has several of these as well.

then there's the mall that isn't a mall but is. which is also housing and office spaces, and the maze-like gardens that surround it.

government center is mostly just a nine sided enclosed amphitheater, with an office complex underground beneath it. including the national council chamber itself, a nine sided room with a nine sided 'round table' of computer consoles for the coordinators, also called low persons, to interact with a.i.'s which impartially find the exact median between all of their input and record their decisions whether to accept it or start over.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

I don't get why people insist on using pictures of instantly recogniseable landmarks. It just looks tacky.

Now, here's some pictures of the Pyramids of Giza Vekhtai, the Eiffel Vekhtai Tower, the Great Wall of China Vekhtai, and the Statue of Liberty Some Vekhtainese Lady. Which, despite their completely different architecture, urban surroundings and climate, can all be found within a few kilometers of each other.
