What would Rarity think of the following landmarks?

Said landmarks include,

The Empire State Building:

 

The Statue of Liberty:

 

The (original) World Trade Center:

 

The Eiffel Tower:

 

The Leaning Tower of Pisa:

 

The Burj Khalifa:

I believe Rarity would be more of pony who appreciates the older architectural styles. The Leaning Tower of Pisa is Romanesque, and the Statue of Liberty is Neoclassical. Both architectural styles focus on decoration, varied geometry, and overall grandness. She might be a bit more tolerable to the newer Art Deco that the Empire State Building represents. The WTC is Modernist and Burj Khalifa is futurists and both would be a big "no" for her. 

Ideally, Rarity would be better represented by the Victorian style, which focuses on ornateness. The Palace of Westminister might suit her more.

I imagine she would be excited to see all of them. Particularly the Statue of Liberty and Empire state building. This reminds me a bit of the beginning of "The Gift of the Maud Pie"

I can see the World Trade Center receiving Rarity's scrutiny the most. Especially with the look of its trademark Twin Towers. She could spend HOURS nitpicking their appearance.

Rarity: Dear Celestia! Just look at these towers! So drab! So featureless!

Hell, her first reaction upon seeing the Twin Towers would probably be something like this:

I think she would be amazed and love all of those landmarks!

I think she'll be more into the older architecture. 'Darling, don't they look gorgeous?' 

[Stardust 641]

She would like artsy stuff. Maybe like effiel tower and statue of liberty. But I imagine she would like examine the culture around it and the significance of style and stuff. I think she would enjoy places like new york for the culture. And places in italy and paris in france she would like. Whatever inspires her
