Monuments are structures or memorials that are erected to commemorate a person, event, or cultural artifact of historical or cultural significance. They come in many different forms and can be made of various materials, such as stone, metal, or concrete.

Some famous examples of monuments include the Great Pyramids of Giza, the Taj Mahal, the Lincoln Memorial, the Arc de Triomphe, and the Eiffel Tower. Many monuments serve as a symbol of a country or city, and are often tourist attractions that draw people from all over the world.

Monuments can be used to commemorate a variety of things, including historical events, cultural achievements, and individuals who have made a significant impact on the world. For example, war memorials honor the sacrifices of soldiers who have fought in wars, while monuments to great leaders and thinkers pay tribute to their contributions to society.
