The Soldiers and Sailors Monument was a striking tribute to the brave men who fought for our country. A sight that evokes reverence and awe. Worth a little visit and quiet moment of reflection. There are definitely more prominent and historical monuments throughout Boston, but that doesn't mean this one should be skipped.

The Boston Commons is worth a visit for some history and it’s spacious paths. I enjoyed people watching here and taking photos of the monuments.

Boston Commons is Boston Publics Gardens less attractive neighbor, that being said, this monument is one of the best things to see within the Commons.

It is centrally located in the park up on the hill so it has some nice views of the park and city from the base.

Worth a visit and a few photos.

A pretty amazing monument in one of the most famous parks in the world. It always has something new to offer.

After reading the book 📖 "Monuments Men", I've been more fascinated by these structures and the work that went into them. This style of monument is popular around the world 🌎. I've seen one that wasn't as well treated in a costal town in England. And then there is Nelson's Monument in Trafalgar square in London.
I was impressed with the inscriptions that were written. I've noticed that this is a very popular hangout for people because I've seen them sitting at the base . People with cameras and smartphones were taking photos. I find it very interesting that there is a North Sea mine, that was meant to damage ships, sitting right next to this monument.
You have to walk up a hill to get to the monument. There are places to sit. This monument has its own Wikipedia page 📄 if you want more information ℹ️. The view from the top 🔝 of the hill was interesting.
Update: November 2023: Even on a chilly night, it is still a popular hangout.
