What is the Meaning & Definition of monument

He is considered a monument to all that structure that has been built especially as a way to commemorate someone or some event.

In general, the monument, as well as being a ceremonial element, has a unique artistic and historical wealth.
Since ancient times human beings has built various kinds of monuments to commemorate people or specific events. These monuments have varied in terms of size, size, design, material and style over the centuries. While at other times they built monuments of magnificent and almost superhuman size (such as the Egyptian pyramids), nowadays usually make accessible sculptures that are intended to honor those people represent them.
