Washington Monument
555-foot marble obelisk at the center of the National Mall
The floodlit obelisk is the Mall's night-time landmark. Up close you can see the color change about a third of the way up, where construction stopped during the Civil War. The interior closes at 5pm, but the grounds stay open.
