The United States is home to several iconic architectural landmarks — everyone knows the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty — but the country also has a great number of lesser championed masterpieces.

We have compiled a list of the coolest works of architecture in the country that often get overlooked.

These include old and new buildings and structures from museums to religious spaces, office buildings to train stations.

Here are 21 of the best buildings to see in America:

21. The Walker Art Center in Minneapolis is known for its angular, box-like shape. The building was designed by the architect Edward Larrabee Barnes, and was updated and extended by Herzog & de Meuron in 2005.



20. A beautiful example of Spanish Renaissance architecture, Saint Louis Cathedral is one of the most iconic landmarks in New Orleans, Louisiana.



19. Just outside of Washington D.C., Washington Dulles International Airport in Chantilly, Virginia, is known for its sleek, curved main terminal, which was designed by the Finnish architect Eero Saarinen.
