About MonumentDB

A database of 104 monuments, memorials, and landmarks spanning 4,500 years of human achievement. From the Pyramids of Giza to the Statue of Unity.

Each monument page records where it stands, when it was built or completed, its size (usually height), who built or commissioned it, and a short account of its history and meaning. Dates for ancient sites are approximate ranges.

Use the search box to find a monument by name, country, city, or builder, or browse the ancient wonders, New Seven Wonders, and tallest statues on the home page. Each page links to related monuments.
