Get the location of a well known location like Eiffel Tower with google geocoding?

Question

Im trying to get the Location ( Country,City,Adress ) of well known locations using google Geocoding. I have read the api countless times, i found out how to search with the location of an adress:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=Leonidou+21&components=administrative_area%3ALARISA 

Or A city:

https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?language=el&components=administrative_area:LARISA|country:GR

But cant find how to search for a well known location Like Acropolis,Taj Mahal,Eiffel Tower etc.

Is it even possible with google geocoder ?

What you are looking for is places API, not locations. ;]
