    The Naval Monument, better known as the Pink Tower, is an American monument erected in the Cours Dajot in Brest in the 1930s to commemorate the United States Navy's operations in Europe during World War I. Destroyed during the German occupation, it was rebuilt identically in 1958. It has been listed since July 2015.

      Aside from the impressive monument itself, the hill above the harbor also offers a nice view in a relatively green area compared to other corners of the city center.
