A monument is commonly a building or a construction that has been empowered as work of architecture or historical site. Famous constructions as the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France or the Transamerica Tower in San Francisco are historical monuments. Their value, even if it wasn't that important at first -like the Eiffel Tower which was supposed to be exposed only during the 1889 universal exposition- become thereafter very important. These monuments are now part of cities' patrimonial.

Originally, a monument recall or commemorate an event as for history not to be lost with time. We edified some war memorial to recall those who died for a country or to celebrate a victory. In that prospect, memory is kept alive thanks to this kind of monuments. Indeed, when we cross or visit a city, each time we pass by a monument reminds us of the history, provided that you are aware of it.

Certain monuments are less historical than symbolical. That is the case of the Statue of Liberty which has been built to celebrate the independence. Along history, all cities have accumulated monuments as symbols of their influence. Becoming part of the scene and of the history of one city or country, monuments work as landmarks for its inhabitants. Removing a monument is almost impossible for people are so attached to their patrimonial that they would fight to keep it.

However, some monuments happened to be destroyed for symbolical reasons. That was the case when Stalin died : numerous status with his head were destroyed, meaning that a page of history has been turned, and that USSR would from now on be able to build its own country, without Stalin's shadow.
