Masjid Jamek
Masjid Jamek stands where the Klang and Gombak rivers meet, in the landscape associated with Kuala Lumpur’s beginnings. Its domes, arcades, and banded minarets place an active mosque within the city’s oldest civic core.
Masjid Negara
Masjid Negara’s broad, folded roof rises like an open umbrella above the city’s National Mosque. Completed in 1965 as a marker of independence, the modern form draws on local and Malay design references, offering a distinct alternative to older domed mosque architecture.
Masjid Wilayah Persekutuan
A broad roofline and layered domes rise above the green edge of Kuala Lumpur. The Federal Territory Mosque turns its garden setting into part of the architecture, while its mixture of Malay and West Asian forms reflects a modern Malaysian design language.

MAXXI
MAXXI’s looping walls and interwoven levels make the museum feel like a route through a landscape rather than a sequence of rooms. Zaha Hadid’s design integrates public spaces and galleries into an urban campus for contemporary art and architecture.
MAXXI Museum

Meiji Jingu
Meiji Jingu is a Shinto shrine surrounded by a broad forest planted in the heart of Tokyo. Dedicated to Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken, the precinct joins a deliberately designed landscape to a place of worship and remembrance.
Memorial to the Victims of the Soviet Occupation (History Tactile)
Beside the Museum of the Occupation of Latvia, a memorial wall uses a blanket pattern, a wagon and a copied handkerchief to remember people repressed under Soviet rule.

Mercado de San Antón
Mercado de San Antón has served Madrid’s Chueca district through repeated reinvention. The present market combines a fresh-food hall with places to eat, while its history reaches back to nineteenth-century wooden stalls and a purpose-built market opened in 1945.
Mercado de San Fernando
Mercado de San Fernando occupies a distinctive 1940s market building in Lavapiés. Its central space and street-like aisles support ordinary food shopping, while later community initiatives have broadened the mix of independent businesses and activities.
Mercado de San Ildefonso
Mercado de San Ildefonso is a multi-level food hall on Madrid’s Fuencarral Street. Its vertical arrangement and terraces make it feel different from a conventional produce market, continuing the street’s long association with food trade in a contemporary dining format.
Mercado de San Miguel
Mercado de San Miguel occupies an iron-and-glass market hall beside Plaza Mayor. Its structure reflects early twentieth-century efforts to bring fresh food trading under cover, while the building’s later survival and restoration turned a practical marketplace into a celebrated example of Madrid’s ma
Mercado de Vallehermoso
Mercado de Vallehermoso opened in 1933 and remains a neighborhood market in Chamberí. Its current mix of traditional food stalls and newer producer-led businesses makes the building a place to shop, eat, and encounter changing ideas about local food.
Merdeka Square
Merdeka Square’s broad field faces the Sultan Abdul Samad Building, creating a public stage for civic ceremony. The lowering of the Union Jack and raising of the Malayan flag here in 1957 transformed a former parade ground into a powerful symbol of independence.
Merlion Park
At Merlion Park, the lion-headed, fish-bodied figure joins two strands of Singapore’s identity: the “Lion City” name and the island’s maritime past. The statue moved to its present waterfront position in 2002 after the Esplanade Bridge changed the river mouth view.
Mevlevihane Museum
Antalya’s Mevlevihane Museum occupies a Seljuk-period complex in Kaleiçi, later used as a Mevlevi lodge. Its displays and associated tombs connect the city’s built heritage with the intellectual and devotional history of the Mevlevi tradition.
