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.
The obelisk consists of marble blocks without any decoration. Different types of marble were used, which can still be seen as there is a colour difference between the lower and the upper part of the obelisk. A circle of Stars and Stripes surround the base of Washington Monument. Inside, you can wander around on a platform. From here, looking up to the top of the monument is a dizzying experience. For great views over the city, you can either walk the 897 steps or take the elevator. While exploring the surrounding area of the Mall, you will often see Washington Monument again, reflected in a pool or in a lake, or just sticking out of its surroundings.
