Monument

A monument is a structure or statue built to honor and commemorate an important person, event, or idea. Monuments can be found in various forms, such as buildings, sculptures, or memorials, and are often located in public spaces. They serve as a reminder of the past and aim to celebrate cultural heritage, historical significance, or collective memory. Examples include the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., or the Great Wall of China. Monuments can also evoke emotional responses, fostering a sense of identity and reflection among those who visit or view them.
