Monument

A structure, such as a building or sculpture, erected as a memorial.

Anything by which the memory of a person, thing, idea, art, science or event is preserved or perpetuated.

A tomb where a dead body has been deposited.

In real-property law and surveying, visible marks or indications left on natural

or other objects indicating the lines and boundaries of a survey.

Any physical object on the ground that helps to establish the location of a boundary line called for;

it may be either natural or artificial.

Functional structures made notable by their age, size or historic significance can also be regarded as monuments.

This can happen because of great age and size, as in the case of the Great Wall of China,

or because an event of great import occurred there such as the village of Oradour-sur-Glane in France.
