The structure of the sentence "The fireworks are spectacular; we came all the way from the city to watch them." is **compound**.
This is because the sentence consists of two independent clauses joined by a semicolon: "The fireworks are spectacular" and "we came all the way from the city to watch them." Each clause can stand alone as a complete sentence, which is characteristic of compound sentences.
