The Monument to the Revolution at Sunset, Mexico City, Mexico

To see this monument live, I was surprised how gigantic it is!

 

Wiki:

The Monument to the Revolution (Spanish: Monumento a la Revolución) is a landmark and monument commemorating the Mexican Revolution. It is located in Plaza de la República, which crosses at the heart of the major thoroughfares Paseo de la Reforma and Avenida de los Insurgentes in downtown Mexico City.

 

The building was initially planned as the Federal Legislative Palace during the regime of Porfirio Díaz and "was intended as the unequaled monument to Porfirian glory." Considered the tallest triumphal arch in the world, it stands 67 metres (220 ft) in height.
