This is a new version of game discover the object. However instead of the item being a random object it has to be a famous international landmark, building, area, or other well known things for example the Statue of Liberty
It will be the same rules as the other game:
1. Only 'Yes' or 'No' answers allowed.
2. Winner chooses next object.
3. Multiple guesses may be asked at one time.
My item is found in a hot climate,
built with a type of stone and is very tall.
What is the famous...

Yes.
That was probably a bit too easy.

OK, my turn:
This landmark is a statue of a woman holding something up with one arm.
(It's not the Statue of Liberty by the way!)

Not quite, although this statue was also erected to commemorate a war/battle. A very big battle.

Although to be honest I also thought it could have been that other mountain in Hong Kong with the Buddha statue.....

However since I don't have much time I can spare to administer the next round, I'd like to pass the baton to either SRL/CassTaylor. Any one of you, please do the honor on my behalf.

Alrighty then!
This landmark is a castle built in the 16th century; it was used first as a fortress then as a prison, and now it still stands as a tourist attraction.
Ask away!

Quote: "CassTaylor"@FrenchloverYes, true. One of the symbol of Bratislava (capital of Slovakia): SNP bridge or UFO bridge as it is called also. Movie: Transformers, episode in one of parts.

What is this city in which lives a well known Numista member who recently resurrected and where you can find such leaning houses. No doubt to better enjoy the sun!

You're right
A bit like the Hardknott Pass that I crossed by car in Cumbria. The recipe is simple: attack the slope of the montain straight out, and you enter the Guinness World Records

This monument is in a European capital city, it is made mostly of white marble, and has a small museum inside.

Yes, it is Il Vittoriano, in Rome. They tore down an entire Renaissance era neighbourhood on the Capitoline Hill to build it between 1882 and 1911, and at the end of the day Romans gave it unflattering nicknames like "the wedding cake" and "the typewriter".
I like it, though; kind of like a lesser-know hipster alternative to the Parisian Arc de Triomphe, when you consider the WWI battles it honours on the second level.
Your turn!

@JRo69
Very welcome!
Sources describe it as being "gaudy" and "conspicuous", since it was all white marble in a sea of brown brick houses; and the back is much less impressive too:
But seriously @SRL how did you get it on the first try? I can think of at least a dozen monuments across Europe that could have fit the hint I gave!
