Being the tallest structure of the city, Washington Monument is visible from almost anywhere around the city, and was erected in honour of the first President of the United States, George Washington.
In the closing days of the 18th century, soon after the death of George Washington, the first President of the United States, it was decided that a monument should be erected in his memory. After decades of debates, the first cornerstone was laid during a ceremony for Independence Day in 1848. More problems had to be overcome, and the monument was finished only in 1888. At the time, it was the tallest structure of the world, until the completion of the much taller Eiffel Tower in 1889. To this day, at slightly under 170 metres, it is the tallest all-masonry structure and the tallest obelisk in the world. Each year, it is takes centre stage at the celebrations of Independence Day.
