The Washington Monument is an iconic obelisk located on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. Standing at 555 feet tall, it is the tallest stone structure and obelisk in the world. Designed by Robert Mills, construction began in 1848 but faced interruptions, ultimately finishing in 1884.

The monument honors George Washington, the first President of the United States. Its exterior is composed of white marble, granite, and blue stone, with a distinct color change visible near the top, marking where construction paused. Visitors can ascend to an observation deck for stunning views of the city and its landmarks. The Washington Monument serves as a powerful tribute to Washington's legacy and is a central feature of the National Mall, symbolizing American ideals of democracy and leadership.
