In Slovenia I believe Sevnica (4.5k population) - home town of Melania Trump - would be the smallest most recognizable place by the world.
But Slovenia is small enough even Kostanjevica na Krki with 802 or Vaฤe with 421 population is easily recognizable by Slovenians.
In France it might be Y (population : 89), famous for having a one-letter name. Far from "anyone can still instantly recognise the name" but still probably much more well-known than any other town this size.
Otherwise idk, feels like the only french city everyone would instantly recognise the name of is Paris tbh.
The smallest Indian city that (almost) all Indians would know would be the hill resort of Shimla (pop 170,000). However, this is because a place is expected to have a population of about 100,000 to be declared a 'city', so for example New Delhi is only a town.
Reno.
For uhhh... Reno.
I legitimately though Oregon was a State, I didn't know it was also a city.
From my country I'm going to be generous and say Barcelona. Second biggest city here. I doubt next bigger cities are universally known.
I think Seville and Pamplona are well known, for the Barber of Seville and the running of the bulls respectively.
Definitely Altschauerberg, home of the country's most prolific performance artist
Well there are only really two where I'm at. Smallest one probably most well known for being the setting for a comedy TV show or it's wall.
The smallest settlement listed on Wikipedia is known for a bridge.
Darwin, Australia.
Famous for being bombed by the Japanese repeatedly during World War 2
ottawa
I think a decent number of people know about Dildo, NL
PANAMA!
Van Halen, spring break, population 35,600.
