Bunker Hill Monument observation platform

The Bunker Hill Monument is a 221-foot granite obelisk in Charlestown with an interior staircase of 294 steps leading to an observation platform at the top that provides panoramic views over Boston and the harbor. Completed in the mid-19th century, the monument has long served as a high vantage point for observing the city and surrounding waterways. The site is managed by the National Park Service and remains a documented historic observation structure.
