1 - Visible Landmarks can immediately give the urban area an identity of a christian community by showing the churches . The Landscape surrounded by the urban area also shows that its in the mountain , adding to that the presence of the red roof shows that we are not in a high dense city .Some building material Used in construction are not modern and houses are built from pure Stone , shows that this town has been built many years ago . 2 - Regarding the invisible information , we can extract that this area is not planned by urban planner , but organically where building are close to each others and no monotone rhythm is shown . Also Eclecticism could be extracted where we can see new and old building without taking care of whats existing what it mean that some building are informal or didn't rely on urban planning laws. Also the existence of a two major churches could also give our attention of an existing of two major Neighbourhood and each of them have his church. 3 - Landmarks where Architecture reflect the society .Its an knowledge that can gives an identity to an urban place.
