The Monument to the Battle of the Nations- a monument in Leipzig dedicated to the Battle of Leipzig 1813when? completed in 1913 for its 100th anniversary
cost? approx. 31 million Euro
how big is this thing? 91 metres tall
does that make it the tallest monument in Europe? yes.
WOW!
how many steps to the top? over 500
did you climb it? well...not really.
I know, I know. SAVE IT!
Here's my logic: it is astounding, yes. Why must I admire it from the top when I have a perfect view down here? If I remember correctly something entirely too similar was featured on LOST, and I believe this may be a trap. Wait,how many stairs? I wonder how much my classmates will pay me to stay at the bottom and hold their bags?
So yes, I know I didn't climb it. But I had that much more time to admire the exterior and miss the graffiti ridden-claustrophobic staircases..although it was simply breathtaking!!!
