IMHO man_made is, it is used for towers and windmills, and I see obelisks somehow in this range of things. > So how to tag prominent features on the streets and squares.

Not sure if an obelisk is artwork though. cheers, Martin _______________________________________________ Tagging mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/tagging
