LSUboo beat me to it: the dam on the upper segments of the NILE.
Cement and soil. Not much metal in the damn itself, so unlikely to be harvested for the metal.
NOT in a humid enviroment or one with much winter freeze/thaw cycles.
The one thing that could take it out: volcanoes, there are a lot of volcanoes not that far away, and when the weight ofthe water in the damn starts to affect what's under it, it could take out or bury the structure.

Structures? Not many. We don’t build things anymore with the intent of them lasting that long. Look at some of the most massive structures, stadiums. They’re torn down and rebuilt every couple of decades
Depends on the stadium construction and the public fund stealing bastards that make decisions
Ohio Statium is a concrete fortress that could last until the sun explodes if they dont knock it down. If you dropped a nuke on it, it would be basically the same
Greedy money stealers have ruined it all

Hopefully the top golf pillars. I want future archaeologists to try to figure that out.

Does it have to be buildings? Because I can’t think of one.
If it’s simply structures, gypsum stacks that are the result of the phosphoric acid production process.

Not cost effective to build stadiums like they did 100+ years ago. You're never going to see these solid concrete monstrosities anymore.

Our great great grandkids will read archived OT posts and realize how immature we all were.
Or they may be impressed by our vocabulary.
It could go either way.

Thinking of recent stone/steel structures that should last
WWII memorial in DC?
Not aesthetically pleasing but long lasting.. Svalbard seed vault
Beijing national stadium

doubtful. Between the 2008 and 2022 Olympics, they barely used that stadium. It will likely inevitably fall into disrepair like most Olympic stadiums do. It's too big to have anyone want to lock themselves into a contract to use the stadium regularly and is very expensive to maintain. So without having a regular tenant or it generating any income to even come close to covering upkeep expenses, I'd imagine it will be difficult to maintain. They had to spend over a year and tens of millions of dollars getting it ready to host the Olympic again. That shouldn't be necessary for a structure that was barely a decade old. In total, they had to spend $38.5 billion on the 2022 Olympics and that was with them repurposing a lot of venues from the 2008 Olympics. Abandoned buildings like that don't tend to survive the test of time.

They literally tied into the building of the Stadium a lifespan
To be exact they used 3500 open and closings of the roof as the lifespan of the entire stadium
Rinse and repeat

1,000 years is nothing in geological terms, not even close to enough time for plates to shift it on to a hot spot.
If humans disappeared tomorrow the spillway should still work and now instead of a huge dam you have a big arse waterfall. Not sure how fast the main would erode, but the crescent shaped secondary dam wouldn't go anywhere.
