“…The area is enclosed within the medieval walls with a single entrance and replicas of artificial stone that symbolize authenticity in appearance. The architecture of the buildings symbolizes Extremadura, Galicia, Andalusia, Castile, Aragon and Catalonia styles (Mendelson, 2004).…”

Through the use of visual symbols and design elements, architecture has many abstract meanings and integrated communicative elements. It relates to cultural systems such as shared values, scientific developments, moral codes, religions, and economic situations. Without a doubt, globalization has caused countries to resemble each other, and that makes local cultures more attractive. This has led to the tendency of local governments to create a new urban identity for economic development. This study examines the "Historic Odunpazari Houses Conservation and Development Project” area in Odunpazarı Locale, as a place with deep indicators of different urban images. The area is built on a hillside in the South of Eskisehir, Turkey, which symbolizes the Ottoman period's urban life. The semiotic approach is used to determine connotative meanings of buildings in historical area. Results show that renovated buildings are highly connotative structures. These kinds of buildings contain more metaphors than the original ones.

Monuments and monumental architecture are established vehicles for communicating capital city status. The need to reduce complex cities into simplified images also means they can be very effective destination marketing tools. This paper assesses the relationship between monuments, capital city status and tourism marketing.Monumental developments in Barcelona during two periods; 1888-1929 and 1982-present are used to explore this relationship. Barcelona provides an interesting example, because of the city's attempts to reassert its historic status as the capital of Catalunya and of the SW Mediterranean. Despite some noted variances in the scope of, and rationale for, monumentality, the paper concludes that in both eras, attempts to monumentalise the city have assisted political and tourism ambitions. Operational implications are also identified.
