Soldiers and Sailors Monument, Civil War memorial in Monument Circle, Indianapolis, US
The Indiana State Soldiers and Sailors Monument rises 284 feet above downtown Indianapolis with a limestone obelisk topped by a bronze Victory statue.
German architect Bruno Schmitz designed this memorial between 1888 and 1901 to commemorate Indiana veterans of conflicts from the Revolutionary War through Spanish-American War.
The monument features bronze sculptures depicting War and Peace groups, military figures, and scenes representing different branches of armed forces at its base.
Visitors can reach the observation deck by climbing 330 steps for free or taking an elevator for 3 dollars from Thursday through Sunday.
The structure transforms into a large holiday display during winter months when thousands of lights create a 284-foot tall Christmas tree effect.
