Nelson Monument Photos

Nelson's Monument is located on the top of Calton Hill, 171 meters above sea level in Edinburgh, Scotland. It is 32 meters high. It was built from 1807 to 1815 to commemorate the defeat of the French and Spanish fleets in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. Vice Admiral Horatio Nelson was shot and killed. In 1853, a timekeeping ball was added to the top of the tower. Usually, when the Edinburgh cannon is fired at 1 pm every day, the small ball on the top of the Nelson Monument will drop. It is very interesting and you can take a good look.
