Wellington's Column

Wellington's Column stands as a towering Roman Doric pillar at the corner of William Brown Street and Lime Street. Rising one hundred and thirty-two feet into the air, the monument is topped by a bronze statue of the Duke of Wellington. The figure is cast from the bronze of cannons captured at the Battle of Waterloo, and it depicts the Duke with a scroll in his right hand and his left hand resting on his sword hilt.
