Monuments in Washington, D.C.

Monuments in Washington, D.C.
The political history of the United States is memorialized in monuments surrounding the Mall, a parklike area in Washington, D.C. Seen here are the Lincoln Memorial, foreground, and the 169-m (555-ft) tall Washington Monument, center, which were built to honor two of the country’s greatest presidents. The dome of the U.S. Capitol is visible in the background.
