Built to honor George Washington, the United States' first president. 555-foot marble obelisk towers over Washington, D.C. Need a ticket to go inside.

Washington DC (and actually the entire US state system) was designed by Freemasons and bears clear traits of their symbolism. The obelisk is definitely one of the important symbols of the Brotherhood. The structure can be visited, but tickets must be ordered online in advance.
