Wellingtone monument

Wellington Monument commemorates the Dublin-born Iron Duke’s victory at Waterloo against Napoleon in 1815.

At sixty-seven metres high it was second in height as an obelisk only to the Washington Memorial’s 169 metres until the Dublin Spire on O’Connell Street was completed in 2003 at 120 metres in height.

The drawn-out process of building a £20,000 monument to Wellington begun in 1817 was finally completed on the site of the salute battery in Phoenix Park some 40 years later.

Wellington monument features in James Joyce’s novel Finnegans Wake. It has been sued as a meeting place for many people in fiction and in reality.
