The Empire State Building

Surely the Empire State Building is the most famous building in the world still standing, it is no longer the tallest building in the world and hasn't been for quite some time. The Empire State Building was completed in 1931 and held the distinction of the world's tallest building until the World Trade Centre eclipsed the height of the Empire State Building in 1970. This is still a magnificent building to visit, not one to be missed on a visit to New York.
