Also means
iconic
Usage Note
Emblemático describes a person, place, or thing that is highly representative or symbolic of something larger — un edificio emblemático (an iconic building). It is used more freely than the English 'emblematic,' which can feel formal; in Spanish journalism it is common in place of 'iconic.' The feminine form is emblemática.
Examples
"El Guernica es una obra emblemática de Picasso."
Natural Translation
Guernica is an iconic work by Picasso.
