Tower of London, after a glimpse at its wiki article: castles and maybe landmarks. Fort Knox covers 441 sq km and has lots of stuff in it (active military base, museums, bullion depository), so depends on the specific question.

| Oct 24, 2012 at 11:19 | comment | added | mindcorrosive | @Mark: residences could go in either landmarks or architecture. I'm not entirely persuaded by fortresses being the main tag, I was thinking to include stuff like the Great Wall of China as well, for which fortifications work better. But I don't feel that strongly about it. | |

+1 This sounds the most sensible to me. I'd keep castles and fortresses separate, and certainly wouldn't lump everything under architecture. (I'd probably make fortresses the main tag instead of fortifications though.)

| Oct 24, 2012 at 7:36 | comment | added | hippietrail | I think SE leaves organization of tags up to the individual sites, but their choice of the term "synonym" seems to cause people to think like dictionaries rather than like travellers when it comes to grouping tags. I don't think correctness and organization should be factors at all. Tags are only there for being useful for travellers to find the kinds of topics, questions, and answers that they have in mind. | |
| Oct 24, 2012 at 6:46 | comment | added | mindcorrosive | @hippietrail: blame SE for lack of tag organization and English for lack of a collective term :-) In all seriousness, I think with sufficient number of tag synonyms and descriptive tag wikis this would work adequately, and this alternative is a reasonable compromise between usability, correctness and organization. | |
| Oct 24, 2012 at 5:37 | comment | added | hippietrail | I think to justify this separation we have to imagine what kind of traveller will want to visit residences but not castles, or castles but not forts. People studying various fields? Sure. Regular travellers? Educate me. | |
| Oct 23, 2012 at 8:12 | comment | added | mindcorrosive | @hippietrail: correct, those difficult to categorize could find a better home under architecture or landmarks. | |
| Oct 23, 2012 at 7:55 | comment | added | hippietrail | So we have a tripartite separate of: +fortified -residential / +fortified +residential / -fortified +residential right? That would leave all structures of type -fortified -residential to still go under the architecture tag - or should those all be subcategorized too? | |
