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.
Sometimes, it is very easy to find your way to a sight: you do not need a map or directions. Such is the case with Washington Monument. This obelisk has been, and still is, the tallest structure of the capital of the United States. Moreover, it is centrally located on the Mall, almost exactly at the intersection between the White House, the Capitol, Lincoln Memorial, and Jefferson Memorial. Washington Monument is situated in a spacious area, which makes it stand out even more. Even from a distance, you can see it is a tall building, but the closer you get, the more impressive it becomes. As you climb the hill on top of which the monument was constructed, looking up requires you to put your head in your neck to be able to see the pinnacle.
