The Doric Monument: Forged in the Year Following the Great Fire of London

The Monument to the Great Fire of London, a 62-metre-tall Doric column, was built in 1677 to commemorate the 1666 Great Fire of London. Over three centuries later, the structure holds a surprising fact for modern visitors. One such surprise is that the iron used for the pourers was made in 1676, a few months before construction started on the Monument. This iron was used to pour pre-existing molten lead moulds for the foundation. Despite these facts, the Monument has survived several attempts to move or remove it. It remains at its current location, standing as a testament to London's resilience.
