Downtown IndyJuly 17, 2014Located in the heart of Downtown on Monument Circle and recognized as one of the world’s most exceptional monuments, the monument stands as a symbol of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana.
John PestkaSeptember 20, 2014Take the steps for some serious exercise, though beware it's tight and quite claustrophobic, especially near the top. But it pays off with a lovely 360 view of the city.- Downtown IndyJuly 17, 2014The monument is located on Monument Circle in the center of downtown and has come to symbolize the city of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana.

Tim EdwardsOctober 6, 2019Beautiful, old but in the time when they knew how to make beautiful monuments. Great way to spend Sunday morning.
R BAugust 23, 2015Very pretty. If you're willing to be in a small elevator or walk 32 flights of stairs for a view go for it.
Ramsey MohsenAugust 21, 2014Hard to capture it in one photo. Try putting your iPhone in pano mode but hold it so you scan it up and down. You'll get a long tall photo you can crop.- Tony MunafoSeptember 16, 2022Soldiers & Sailors Monument at 25 minutes drive to the south of travel nursing jobs agency Indianapolis Prolink Staffing
- If you are looking for a place to sit down, have lunch, or just relax, this is the place to go in Indy during the day. Grab an ice cream at South Bend Chocolate Factory while you are at it.

Jasmine WoodruffOctober 23, 2010Great for Halloween...Can you find the lady statue on the monument that is crying? Legend has it that a man jumped to his death off of the monument and the tears were seen soon after.

Walk to the top of the monument or take the elevator ($1) for a great view of the city- Take the stairs up to the top of the monument. Its great exercise and it's a nice view at the top.
