Amazing Sites Of Houston, Texas
The San Jacinto Monument stands 570 feet above the
battleground where men fought for Texas independence. Built
to commemorate the centennial of the battle, it is the tallest
masonry structure in the world.
The monument has an elevator which takes you to the top
where there is a small observation area. It was a beautiful day,
so we had a wonderful view.
