Battle Monument (Monument Square)
Monument
Erected 1815–25, the first civic monument built in the United States to honor those who died defending a city. It commemorates Baltimore's defenders killed during the British attack of September 1814, and its central commercial-district location signaled the civic pride the successful defense had created.
