This article is based on a notion of national landscape imagery understood as a visual signifying system, representing national space and linking physical sites with national ideology. According to Stuart Hall, national identity is produced by a cultural system of representation essentially based on stereotypes. These are conventional by nature, yet have the power of directing individual thought and action (Hall 1992; Moscovici 1984).
