Breed's Hill, Summit in Charlestown, Massachusetts, United States.
The granite hill rises 24 meters above sea level within Monument Square, offering views across Boston Harbor and the surrounding urban landscape.
The Battle of Bunker Hill in 1775 primarily occurred on Breed's Hill, resulting in over 1,000 British casualties and 300-500 colonial losses.
The 67-meter granite obelisk monument, completed in 1843, stands at the summit to commemorate the Revolutionary War battle and its participants.
Visitors can climb 294 steps inside the monument to reach an observation area that provides panoramic views of downtown Boston and the harbor.
The hill contains geological features from glacial formation, marking it as a drumlin created during the last ice age in New England.
