| Monument Remembering the Great Fire of London |
The Monument to the Great Fire of London, simply known as the Monument, is a Doric column in the City of London commemorating the Great Fire of 1666 and celebrating the rebuilding of the city.
Designed by Sir Christopher Wren and Robert Hooke, the 202-foot (62-meter) structure stands near the site in Pudding Lane where the fire began. Completed in 1677, it offers panoramic views of London from its viewing platform, reached by a 311-step spiral staircase.
The Monument serves as a permanent reminder of this pivotal event in London's history.
