The Monument to the Great Fire of London, often simply referred to as the Monument, is a doric column located in the City of London. It was built to commemorate the Great Fire of London.
History[edit | edit source]
The Monument was erected on the site of St. Margaret, the first of many churches to be consumed by the fire. Designed by renowned architect Christopher Wren, the landmark was built between 1671 and 1677.[1]
Wren considered many ideas for the brass sculpture that would rest atop the Monument, including a statue of King Charles II, a woman wielding a sword, and a phoenix triumphantly rising from the flames. In the end, he settled for an ornate orb.[1]
Nearly two centuries after its construction, in 1868, the Assassin Evie Frye ascended the Monument, following a trail of clues left behind by the Master Assassin Edward Kenway. Upon inserting a disk at the very top, an image was revealed that led Evie to conclude Edward had hidden something at St. Paul's Cathedral.[2]
