Culture, 20xCulture5, has two main purposes in Civilization V: it expands the borders of your empire and allows you to buy new social policies. Perhaps even most importantly, when you acquire enough culture and enough social policies, you may win the cultural victory.

Culture can be gained in several ways: certain buildings and wonders are the most obvious ones. The following is a comprehensive table of all the buildings that produce culture:

Buildings that produce culture

Ancient Monument 2
Classical Burial tomb 2 Egyptian unique building, replaces temple
Classical Mud pyramid mosque 5 Songhai unique building, replaces temple

All wonders also produce at least 1 culture per turn but a few produce or may produce more:
