About

LandmarkProfiles is an editorial reference library of the world's landmarks, organised the way people actually look for them — by name. For each landmark we publish the facts that published sources state: where it is, when it was built, who designed it, how big it is, and how many people visit it, labelled with the year. Where sources allow, we also publish what it is known for, its history, the best time to visit, how to get there, and a link to the landmark's official site.

How we work

Every profile begins with fetched sources: Wikipedia's landmark articles (CC BY-SA) and Wikidata's structured records, plus the landmarks' own published facts. The facts on the page are the facts in those sources, which are linked at the foot of every profile. Where sources are silent — or where two honest sources disagree on a figure — the profile leaves the field out rather than guessing. Photographs come only from Wikimedia Commons, each credited to its photographer, and each checked against the landmark it illustrates: a photograph of a different landmark never illustrates a page.

What we deliberately leave out

Ticket prices and opening hours we do not publish at all: they change often and belong to the landmark's own site, linked from every profile that has one. Visitor numbers are reported with their year and refreshed in one labelled pass — we never invent a figure of our own.

What we are not

LandmarkProfiles is an independent editorial publication. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to any landmark, museum, or tourism authority. Nothing here is an official source — it is a library built from official and published ones.
