Portuguese term or phrase: marco histórico e simbólico de fundação da cidade
"...Ainda no centro de pedestres, pude conferir outros lindos pontos turísticos: a prefeitura e a Igreja de St.Johann. Com traços góticos misturados ao estilo renascentista alemão, a prefeitura é tão bonita que eu não conseguia parar de olhar. Não é para menos, afinal o prédio foi projetado pelo arquiteto Georg Ritter von Hauberrisser, o mesmo que assinou o projeto da prefeitura de Munique (de tirar o fôlego!). A prefeitura de St. Johann foi construída entre 1897 e 1900, e juntamente com a Igreja de mesmo nome e o prédio dos correios perfaz o marco histórico e simbólico de fundação da cidade..."

MISTAKE: sYmbolic

EXPLANATION: I\'ve chosen HISTORICAL and SYMBOLIC for the sentence not to rhyme, but you can interchange these terms with HISTORIC and SYMBOLICAL as you wish, since they\'re all adjectives. SYMBOLIC(AL) can also be replaced by the term REPRESENTATIVE.

Here\'s how I\'d put the fragments:

\"St. Johann\'s (city) hall was built between the years 1897 and 1900 and, along with the church by the same name and the post office buildings, it constitutes/establishes/forms the HISTORICAL AND SYMBOLIC LANDMARK OF THIS CITY\'S SETTLEMENT.\"
