Looking for a weapon out of legend? The headquarters of an Ancient Tradition? An interdimensional portal? Relics of a lost civilization? The Ancient Astronauts' spaceship? A site of untold mystic power? If they're not in the writer's capital city or hometown, they'll be here, at a Landmark of Lore. These are the places where people are eager to believe almost anything could be found, so many tales swirl around them. Mostly they are either places rich in history, which have been the centre of stories for centuries, or places remote enough that the audience knows little about them. Sometimes these locations will be turned into a Weaponized Landmark. Compare Ruins for Ruins' Sake, Temple of Doom, Circle of Standing Stones, which may overlap. Probably the result of Small Reference Pools. A Sister Trope to Public Domain Artifact and Public Domain Character — in essence, this can also be thought of as Public Domain Location. A Landmark of Lore is often the subject of Alternate Landmark History. The Seven Wonders of the World are a related idea, and anything named on the lists of those seven can show up as a Landmark of Lore. |

Golden Sun features its own take on historic landmarks, including the wind-themed dungeon of Air's Rock in the continent of Osenia, ancient ruins in a South American analogue hiding The Power of the Sun, the ruined and overgrown city of Ankhol Wat, the Apojee Islands and their water-spewing moai (although differently-elemental-themed moai appear in other locations), the Endless Wall (not as an ancient structure, it gets built sometime in the thirty years separating the second and third games)... While stone circles appear and almost always have something useful in the middle that's Invisible to Normals, they're nowhere near the size of Stonehenge. | |

The Mummy Trilogy: The Mummy (1999): At the beginning, you had Thebes with pyramids, which seemed kinda mystical. Apparently, Giza and Thebes were united to create a nice Landmark of Lore. In the first two movies, Hamunaptra is an in-universe example. Good news: the stories about it being the resting place for the wealth of Egypt are true! Bad news: so is that story about the cursed mummy! The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor features Shangri-La with Yetis. Then the Great Wall becomes a bonus Landmark of Lore. |

Stargate SG-1: The Stargate itself was located inside the Great Pyramid of Khufu. Until it was taken out into the desert and buried, that is. Alien technology acquired off-world is analyzed at Area 51. The Stargate team is based out of Cheyenne Mountain, which is a close relative of Area 51. Also, the pyramids were actually landing platforms for alien spacecraft. |

King Solomon's Mines - In The Bible, King Solomon was said to control some extremely valuable mines, and during the 19th Century, European colonial powers hoped to find them in Darkest Aftricanote Solomon was supposed to have trade routes along Africa's east coast. Often linked to the actual ruins of Great Zimbabwe, although it is now known that those were built by native Africans (specifically, the ancestors of the Shona people) during the Middle Ages. | |

American Gods and its TV adaptation explains that landmarks and tourist attractions are often built by people who are drawn to the pieces of land due to them emanating certain powers that people are unconsciously attracted to. One such landmark is the House on the Rock, a real world tourist attraction in Wisconsin, where Mr. Wednesday has invited the Old Gods to in order to discuss their plans. | |

Scion: Great landmarks like Stonehenge or the Statue of Liberty are called Touchstones, and allow someone to go from the landmark to a place in the Overworld, and then from there to any other point that resonates with that same place. For instance, one could go from Stonehenge in England to the Great Henge, and then go from the Great Henge to Carhenge. Why Carhenge? Because it's the funniest replica of Stonehenge,note Okay, maybe not funnier than Foamhenge. and it's mentioned explicitly in the book's description of Touchstones. | |
