The noteworthy design of the towering Washington Monument features a remarkable amount of symbolism in honoring its namesake. George Washington was known for his powerful influence and impressive appearance, although he was also said to have a simple elegance. The Washington Monument was designed in the same light as it watches over the city and citizens below. The monument also features 193 memorial stones of states, cities and patriotic societies that have added to the interior since 1848.
The Washington Monument serves as the centerpiece to the city and is located at the National Mall. Advanced tickets can be reserved through the National Park Service, although free tickets are always available on the day of your visit to the monument at the 15th Street Washington Monument kiosk.
