Charlestown - Bunker HIll Monument

 
The Bunker Hill Monument is a 220ft/67m high granite obelisk commemorating the battle of Bunker Hill on June 17th 1775; a spiral staircase leads up to the top. The battle, which was actually fought on Breed's Hill and not on Bunker Hill, ended in a British victory over the American militia.

The visitor center at the base of the monument has models and historical exhibits related to the battle. It is one of the seven sites that make up the Boston National Historic Park.
