A symbol of an entire country

As an icon of a city, it is as instantly recognizable as the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty or the Golden Gate Bridge.

It’s certainly an eye-catching building. I think much of its iconic quality is derived from not really fitting neatly into any era of artchitecture - it’s genuinly unique!
