European Landmarks

Tomorrow, 9th May is Europe Day. 

I have asked Year 5 pupils to look for different festivals in Europe and I have just prepared this activity where they need to investigate where these landmarks below are. We are really lucky because  due to this project, we have already visited some of them.

I am sure our pupils already know some very famous landmarks from different countries in Europe. Where are these landmarks from? Please, comment saying the number, the name of the building and the country or place where it is.
