The Phoenix Monument stands proud in the centre of the vast Phoenix Park and is one of the green space's longest surviving features. The fluted collumn was carved from Portland Stone and displays a phoenix at the top. It's not as high as the park's famous Wellington Monument which, at 203 feet (62 m), is the largest obelisk in Europe.

Hiking

The Phoenix Monument in Phoenix Park, is a cool obelisk that's been around since the 18th century. It's all about King George IV's visit in 1821, and you can spot it while enjoying the park's awesome nature and vibes. It's a sweet reminder of Irish history and the beauty of Phoenix Park.
