The Washington Monument, in addition to all its magnificence and symbolism, is the tallest masonry structure in the world. Piercing the sky from the western end of the National Mall, the monument is constructed much like a sword, a symbol of General Washington’s military prowess, and the struggle of America’s independence from England. Visitors can catch a great bird’s-eye view of the city by taking the one-minute elevator ride to the top.
