Quote:My audience vote is for The Shard
IIRC, it is the tallest building in Europe (or at least it was, but I don't think it's been overtaken since), which may rule out the Eiffel Tower. Although they probably wouldn't classify that as a building, so not necessarily
The Chrysler Building used to be the tallest in the world before it was overtaken by others, and although the Golden Gate Bridge is massive, I've never heard any facts about it being remarkably tall
All of those disparate thoughts lead me to the Shard being recognised as the "tallest-thing" of any description the most recently, so that's what my vote is for
My logic was partially right. The Shard was the tallest building in Europe - but has been overtaken several times since then. But, as expected, the Eiffel Tower wasn't included in that tally, and as it turns out even the Chrysler Building is still taller than it
