I love this view of the Pilgrim Monument from MacMillan Wharf in Provincetown. So pretty and so iconic…

“The tower is 252 feet, 7.5 inches (77 meters) tall and rises 350 feet above sea level!
The heart-healthy walk to the top on 116 steps and 60 ramps only takes about 10 minutes at a leisurely pace.
The Pilgrim Monument is the tallest all-granite structure in the United States. The granite came from Stonington, Maine, and each stone is the thickness of the wall. The design is patterned after the Torre Del Mangia in Siena, Italy.
Architect Willard Thomas Sears, a prominent architect in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, designed the tower. Sears’ other noteworthy commissions include the Old South Church, Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the Cyclorama in Boston and Campobello Park in New Brunswick, Canada.” https://www.pilgrim-monument.org/pilgrim-monument/
