Answer:
A monument is considered to be any structure that has been specially built as a way to commemorate someone or an event. In general, the monument, in addition to being a ceremonial element, has a unique artistic and historical wealth.
Explanation:
Here are 5 famous monuments:
- Machu Picchu, Perú : The Peruvian mountainous city of Machu Picchu is one of the most spectacular monuments in South America. A place considered a UNESCO world heritage site since 1983, it was initially built in the 1400s when the Inca empire was at its peak. The ruins are located 3 kilometers above sea level, surrounded by an impressive mountain landscape.
- Biblioteca Nacional, Brasil: It has 13 million books and is also one of the most spectacular monuments in South America. Its initial collection was one of the most important in South America, both for the quantity and quality of its holdings, which was approximately 60,000 pieces, made up not only of books, but also of manuscripts, maps, engravings, coins, and medals. This treasure came from the possessions of Queen Maria I, from the Portuguese court, who had to go into exile in Brazil after the invasion of the Napoleonic troops in Portugal and landed with all their goods on the coasts of Rio de Janeiro.
- Moai en la Isla de Pascua, Chile: The moai, the gigantic statues of Easter Island, are the most important expression of Rapanui sculptural art and have become its hallmark. However, despite their worldwide fame and the multitude of studies conducted on them, there are still many unanswered questions surrounding these stone giants.
- Teatro Colón, Argentina: The Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires is considered one of the five best opera houses in the world. This is due to two fundamental elements: its excellent acoustic design and its high architectural level. This place was originally thought as an exclusive theater for opera, although today symphonic concerts and classical dance are also exhibited.
- Panteón Nacional, Venezuela: The National Pantheon of Venezuela is the building where the remains of prominent figures in the history of Venezuela are preserved. It is located in the Altagracia parish of Caracas on the land where the Santísima Trinidad church was located, built in 1744 by Juan Domingo del Sacramento Infante, inaugurated on July 15, 1780 and destroyed in 1812 by the earthquake that affected the city from Caracas.
