Battle Monument, War memorial in downtown Baltimore, United States
The marble monument features a central column with carved names rising from an Egyptian-style base adorned with griffin statues at each corner.
Built between 1815 and 1825, this memorial honors 39 soldiers who died defending Baltimore against British attacks during the War of 1812.
The monument design incorporates Egyptian and Roman elements, with a female figure representing Baltimore holding a laurel wreath and ship rudder.
Located in Battle Monument Square on North Calvert Street, the structure stands between two courthouses and serves as Baltimore's official emblem.
Each of the eighteen marble layers in the base represents one state that existed in the United States during the monument's construction period.
