At the center of downtown's Monument Circle, the 284-foot Soldiers and Sailors Monument, built in 1902 of gray limestone, has become a symbol both of the city of Indianapolis and the state of Indiana. The monument houses a Civil War museum at its base; visitors can also walk 330 steps to a panoramic observation level or ride in the elevator for $1. (317) 232-7615; in.gov/iwm
