One of the most widely-recognized monuments in Washington DC, this memorial honors George Washington, the founding father of the United States.

Measuring 555 feet 5 and 1/8 inch tall, it is the tallest structure in the city and is one of the tallest masonry structures in the world. The monument's cornerstone was laid on July 4, 1848, but the structure was not completed and opened to the public until October 9, 1888. Patterned after classical Egyptian obelisks and constructed of Maryland marble, it is ringed by fifty United States flags, representing the nation's fifty states. Take the 70-second ride on the elevator to the top of the monument to take in 360º degree views of the city, with visibility stretching up to 40 miles on a clear day. Here, you can enjoy an eagle-eye view of the Lincoln Memorial, the Thomas Jefferson Memorial, the White House and the Capitol Building.
