A Ziggurat that has little relevance to Ireland except perhaps to remind the populace of Britain's military might. It commemorates a man who presided over a vanquishing of one empire to assert another. Let's not forget that when Wellington was prime minister, he ensured that the rebuilt houses of Parliament were put next to the Thames so he could escape disorder by boat.

Majestic monument in middle of green park, very calm place to a busy Dublin, best getaway from work and busyness

Nice field to enjoy a picnic with friends, specially in the Summer, there is no toilets but if you are prepared behind the monument in the woods its tranquil, in the lockdown time people used to go to celebrate birthday and people respected the social distance. At night the Deer arrive there to graze, it is dark in natural light for the preservation of the environment and the comfort of wild animals

It's so massive and the cold simplicity of it makes it even more impressive. It's in the middle of a park, do you can just chill there and relax too.

Phoenix Park in general is an amazing place. It’s quiet, beautiful and peaceful. Perfect spot to walk, cycle, hang with people, meet friends, walk with the dogs, bring the kids… it’s a place to everyone that enjoys the green and the nature.

Nice monument. We can use this as a landmark to meet our friends when we are new to this park.

A large monument in Phoenix Park. If you are nearby, it's worth a quick walk to see it. Otherwise, it's just a miniature version of the Washington monument in Washington DC. There is no informational placards about the monument, which is unfortunate, but also is consistent with most other Irish historical sites (that tend to have minimal to no informational signs).

Beautiful part of the Phoenix park.awww that electric bikes rental was solo worth it beautiful sunny ☀️ day strolling around the monument and other lovely parts of the Phoenix Park what a way to spend a Saturday. Oh and electric bikes where very reasonable prices just 12 E per hour. Happy days will absolutely return before summer ends.

Nice green lush area to visit. If you here also good to try Dublin Zoo - but no tickets at gate / advance booking mandatory!

Always make this part of our zoo visit just wonderful

A large monument located at the beginning of Phoenix Park in Ireland. The monument is located on a huge green field, when you get closer to the column you begin to feel how big it is, although from a distance it doesn’t seem so. A place with a rich history, surrounded by a huge, very well-kept park. To get there, you need to walk a little from the entrance about 5-7 minutes.

As far as structures go... it's pretty impressive 🤩. And the surrounding park is a nice place to chill on a (rare) sunny day 😜 Also... there's a plaque of the Indian War 🇮🇳. Which, as an Indian, was a happy surprise to see. 🙂

Big monument situated at the beginning of Big green Park, nice place for walk.

First thing you will see when entering the park is this monument that stand tall and beautiful there. If you like to have a picture and alone time early morning is recommended. We rented the Dublin bikes to move around a bit faster then by foot.

Will Danaher at the Wellington monument in the phoenix park great place for walking and beautiful scenery

Brilliant place, good vibes

Stunning, green, beautiful, fresh air, perfect for run, walk, family walk... I like Phoenix Park, i would highly recommend this spot for any person who visit this beautiful Ireland.

So huge in the real life

Gorgeous and large park. You could walk here for hours easily. Very clean and safe. Would be a good place to jog or play frisbee. The monument is also cool. I used the hop and go bus to get there and wasn’t disappointed.

Its an obelisk? I have seen the washington one also. This is more accesible. Peaceful, inside a great park.

One of the best monuments that I have ever seen.

Very nice green area to visit 🥰

huge monument inside an amazing bigpark, green and well clean.

Breathtaking monument. It's huge.

Nice walk from town to a large park.

Great monument near the entrance of Phoenos park.

Obelisks are where it's at really. This one is great, as unlike others the shadow moves throughout the day. Which is also a negative aspect, when you really think about it. Since this is inner Dublin, be prepared to meet some characters around here too, scabbing smokes and the likes from anyone making eye contact. As phallic symbols go, this one is pointy

Nice to spend some time in the grass when there’s good weather

Love all the area, also the big monument. Recommend to anyone who looking relaxing near to the nature.

Absolutely beautiful and nice to specially on sunny day.

Such a lovely country with so many wonderful places like this

Amazing building! We were just riding along with the bikes when we saw it.

very nice monument,Good location for family stroll,kids enjoyed running up and down the steps,only small issue was on the day we visited was smashed glass around the base and on parts of the steps

Beautiful obelisk.....all sides have a different inscriptions and sculptures dedicated to Duke of Wellington....pretty impressive but in need of a clean, sadly.

Nice meeting point when you are in the east corner of the Phoenix Park: easy to spot, easy to find! 👍🏻 Perfect place to sit down on the steps and relax. The monument is in the middle of a large green area surrounded by trees and a road (Dublin tour busses stop here).

Well worth a visit for the size of it. Must see when visiting Phoenix Park.
