Monument sights in Southwest

1. A Map

   Cross of the Martyrs

   • Santa Fe, USA
   • Sights › Monument

   More a quick climb than a religious shrine, the Cross of the Martyrs was erected to commemorate the 21 Franciscan friars who lost their lives in the Pueblo Revolt of 1680. Historic plaques explain 400 years of Santa Fe history, and the view from the top really makes you appreciate those adobe-only laws.

   Reno Arch

   • Reno, USA
   • Sights › Monument

   Near Fitzgerald's, check out the landmark Reno Arch, built in 1926 to commemorate the completion of the first transcontinental highway in North America. The original has since been replaced twice (the last time in 1987) but still proclaims Reno as being the 'Biggest Little City in the World.'

   Mirage Volcano

   • Las Vegas, USA
   • Sights › Monument

   When the Mirage’s trademark artificial volcano erupts out of a three-acre lagoon with a roar, it inevitably brings traffic on the Strip to a screeching halt. Be on the lookout for wisps of smoke escaping from the top that signal the fiery Polynesian-style inferno is about to begin.
