Are the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben Monuments?

Iconic Monuments: Eiffel Tower and Big Ben

Yes, both the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben are considered monuments.

The Eiffel Tower

A wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France, named after engineer Gustave Eiffel. Built for the 1889 World's Fair, it stands 324 metres (1,063 feet) tall and is one of the world's most recognizable landmarks. It is the most-visited paid monument globally; 6.91 million people ascended it in 2015.

Big Ben

Big Ben is the nickname for the Great Bell of Westminster, housed in the clock tower (officially Elizabeth Tower since 2012) at the Palace of Westminster in London, England. In 1859, it became the largest four-faced chiming clock in the world—a title held for over a century until 1908. The term "Big Ben" is often mistakenly used to refer to both the clock and the tower.
