OK, what about a poem by Hjalmar Gullberg?
Jag mötte vänner i så många länder
men varför blev man ensam under skyn
Jag älskar det som flyr ur våra händer
Jag älskar det som doldes för vår syn
Här ligger jag en fånge mellan lakan
och lyssnar i en mörklagd paviljong
Jag älskar mörkret och jag älskar vakan
Jag älskar tystnaden som blev till sång.
FYI: I’m Norwegian though I live in Greece.

Sure, I will join in. Gullberg is one of the better Swedish poets. I'm actually finnish, but I have lived in Sweden my entire life. So my favorite poet is Pentti Saarikoski (propably Finlands most well-known name). And if we're speaking about Swedish poetry and litterature, I'd say that Hjalmar Söderberg is one of the best writers in the whole world.
Is it a monument? |

Sorry to disappoint you, but I’m quite sure that Mika Häkkinen is more famous, at least outside Finland. And Snowy said it was a building, which probably means it’s not a monument (it could be both, though).

I worded that badly, I meant that Pentti Saarikoski is the most famous poet of Finland. But I guess you are right about Mika Häkkinen being the most famous person overall, Sibelius might be a bit bigger.
I'm not 100% sure about a monuments definition. But I'd put my money on that Taj Majal is a building and a monument at the same time.

Yeah, and Taj Mahal might even be the answer. If it’s not: Is it in China?
And I forgot the most famous Finnish person ever: Vompatti!

For our purpose a monument is not a building. Taj Mahal is an exception.
Not in China

Ah, that excludes a lot of buildings. Is it built in 1900 or later?
