Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial

Mount Soledad Veterans Memorial is a hilltop monument in La Jolla that includes a prominent cross and dozens of engraved plaques honoring U.S. veterans from multiple conflicts. The site offers panoramic views of San Diego and the Pacific Ocean and is used for commemorative ceremonies and visitor visits. The presence of the cross has been the subject of long-running legal and political disputes; despite that history the memorial remains a public landmark.
