Introduction
Hello everyone,

In this guide, you will discover all the civilization landmarks and wonders, complete with pictures of their real-life counterparts or the inspirations behind them. Some of these may not perfectly match their in-game versions due to anachronistic reasons or visual differences, but I have done my best. All corrections are welcome, and I hope you enjoy it!
Japanese
Landmarks:

Koka Township - Historical Japanese house

Kura Storehouse - Traditional Japanese warehouses used for storing resources

Floating Gate - Torii Gate

Temple of Equality - Todai-ji Temple in Nara

Castle of the Crow - Matsumoto Castle

Tanegashima Gunsmith - Tanegashima is a Japanese island known for the introduction of firearms to the Japanese by the Portuguese in the 16th century. The building could be inspired by this historical event. Here is the Tanegashima gun museum.


Wonder:

The Tokugawa Shrine - Toshogu Gojunoto
Byzantines
Landmarks:

Grand Winery - Byzantine Empire vineyards

Imperial Hippodrome - Hippodrome of Constantinople

Golden Horn Tower - Galata Tower in Golden Horn Bay

Cistern of the First Hill - The Basilica Cistern (Yerebatan Sarnıcı)


Foreign Engineering Company & Palatine School - Both buildings share the same model and have the same overall shape. They do not seem to be inspired by specific monuments but rather by Byzantine architecture as a whole. This is represented by the image above.


Wonder:

The Cathedral of Divine Wisdom - Hagia Sofia
