Landmark

An 18th-century painting of a ship with Table Mountain in the background, used by navigators as the landmark to sail around southern tip of Africa.

A landmark is a recognizable[1] natural or artificial feature used for navigation, a feature that stands out from its near environment and is often visible from long distances.

In modern-day use, the term can also be applied to smaller structures or features that have become local or national symbols.
