Any famous monuments in your country which partially belong to a foreign culture?
I was reading recently about the taj mahal and how its architecture mostly stems not from india but rather from iran.
That reminded me of the Alhambra. Probably spain's most famous monument and thoroughly islamic in design. moorish architecture stems from traditions found further east and borrowed very little from pre-islamic trends found in the peninsula. The Alhambra is somewhat exotic even if it's in our country. For example, we can't read the inscriptions in the walls and we struggle with much of the symbolism. In other words, the culture was totally distinct.
So, IS there any monument in your country in this somewhat strange situation?
