The aesthetic sculptures and memorials are among the main 
landmarks of any city. In addition to being essential elements in urban 
design, they are architectural elements of visual attraction that capture
people's attention. Usually, city squares are decorated with sculptures 
and statues; such as, statues of heroes and leaders. In many cities, 
there are great statues created in memory of great people or artworks
presented by mural painting. In general, aesthetic sculptures usually
represent an idea or glorify an event specific to a certain place.
Distinctive landmarks give the city its unique character; with the 
group of statues, sculptures, motifs, and decorations used horizontally 
or vertically to achieve certain aesthetic and functional purposes. They 
are also considered pillars of vital elements in the heart of the city. 
Landmarks are created in the streets and public squares to reflect the 
specific culture, history, and civilization of the place.
The researcher points out that the three-dimensional aesthetic 
sculptures are always placed in city squares, which helps to design the 
square geometrically. They are clearly visible from outside the square. 
They also add an aesthetic value to the place, and can be considered as 
guiding signs to indicate the location. The researcher stresses that the 
aesthetic sculptures and decorations must be designed in an 
appropriate manner to reflect the identity of the place. This is done by 
presenting some examples and studying them analytically throughout 
the research.
