Tripoli Monument, Military monument at Naval Academy in Annapolis, United States.
The white marble monument rises 30 feet high, featuring a central column topped by an eagle and allegorical figures representing Glory, Fame, History, and Commerce.
Created in 1806 in Livorno, Italy, this monument honors six naval officers who died during the First Barbary War against Tripoli in 1804.
The monument includes inscriptions in Latin and English, with detailed carvings that represent both military valor and the early American naval traditions.
Visitors need to present identification documents at the Naval Academy entrance to access the monument, located in the Preble Hall Courtyard.
The marble blocks used in its construction came from the same Carrara quarries that supplied material for Michelangelo's sculptures.
