difference between memorial and monument
​

Answer 1

Answer:

What is the difference between Monument and Memorial?

• Definitions of Monument and Memorial:

• Monument is a structure, statue, or a building that is built to honor someone notable or a special event.

• Memorial is a structure or a statue that is built to remember a dead person or a group of people who died in an important past event.

• Objective/Purpose:

• Paying tribute or honoring a person for his deeds or to mark an impression about an important event is the objective of a monument.

• Continuing to remember someone even after death is the objective of a memorial.

• Architectural Importance:

• Monuments carry a lot of architectural values as they come in the form of buildings too.

• Memorials, on the other hand, do not carry so much of an architectural value like a monument.

• Examples:

• The Arc de Triomphe in France, Empire State Building and the Washington Monument in America as all examples for monuments.

• Examples for memorials are World Trade Center Memorial, Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial and Lincoln Memorial.

A memorial and a monument, both may have been built in memoriam of individuals. While a monument may be built in memory of a single individual, a memorial can be built in memory of several individuals. Great architects were employed to  construct memorials and monuments, in the past. They were honored too at the completion of the construction.
