neutral  leff: eee tam. Wizytówka nie musi być symbolem i vice versa. Dworzec Centralny symbolem Warszawy nigdy nie był, a za wizytówkę uważano go bardzo długo. Zaś Syrenka z pewnością jest symbolem, ale nigdy nie była wizytówką ;-)

wizytówka
pride


Explanation:
pride of the city
to chyba najbliższe, choć i tak nie do końca pokrywa się znaczeniowo z 'wizytówką' (bo to raczej 'chluba')

W każdym razie wizytówka, to coś, czym miasto się szczyci i chętnie pokazuje innym

dużo jest tego na Google, przy czym zgadzam się od razu, że często 'prominent' ma związek z gabarytami obiektu, ale sugeruję luźniejsze podejście i będzie pasować... Hej!
