The Monument to the Great Fire of London, also known as simply "The Monument," is a tall column in London commemorating the devastating fire that swept through the city in 1666. Standing at 202 feet high, it was designed by Robert Hooke and features a gilded urn of fire at the top. Visitors can climb the 311 steps to a viewing platform for a panoramic view of the city.
