Obelisco

The obelisk has since become a symbolic icon of the city, marking a strategic central point - three of the city's underground metro lines connect underneath the obelisk and the Metrobus dedicated bus corridor passes at street level - while the monument is also a beacon that is often the central focal point for everything from sporting celebrations to political demonstrations. 

Inside the structure, there is a ladder with 206 steps and seven resting places leading up to the viewing platform, which has windows on each of the four sides (closed to the public). There's a lightning rod on the very top of the pyramid.
