Tampa Landmarks and Tampa Monuments
(Tampa, Florida - FL, USA)



While Tampa is perhaps not as well endowed in terms of landmarks and monuments as other Florida cities, the city of Tampa is by no means short of history and heritage. Obvious visual constructions may not be prevalent, but take a visit to the districts of Hyde Park and Ybor and you'll find a distinct flavor of yesteryear and many buildings that capture a strong sense of the city's heritage.

Meanwhile, modern landmarks and constructions such as the Raymond James Stadium and the Tampa Convention Center have also contributed greatly to the city's unique character. Here are some of the most imposing landmarks and monuments in the Tampa area.
