The Monumental City
The Washington Monument is a big attraction in Baltimore. Though it had none of the original decorations, people enjoyed it. In fact, the city is known for its structure, and that’s why tourists refer to it as “The Monumental City.”
National Historic Landmark
The Washington Monument was built outside city limits initially, but that’s no longer true. Baltimore expanded enough for it to sit at the heart. Overall, the significance of this structure got official recognition when it was called a National Historic Landmark in 1971.
