The Wellington Monument ((アイルランド語:Leacht Wellington)),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Leacht Wellington / Wellington Monument )〕 or more correctly the Wellington Testimonial,〔A testimonial is erected to a living person, as Wellington was when construction started〕 is an obelisk located in the Phoenix Park, Dublin, Ireland.
The testimonial is situated at the southeast end of the Park, overlooking Kilmainham and the River Liffey. The structure is tall, making it the largest obelisk in Europe.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1856 – Design for Wellington Testimonial, Phoenix Park, Dublin )
==History==

The Wellington Testimonial was built to commemorate the victories of Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington. Wellington, the British politician and general, also known as the 'Iron Duke', was born in either counties Meath or Dublin. Originally planned to be located in Merrion Square, it was built in the Phoenix Park after opposition from the square's residents.
The obelisk was designed by the architect Sir Robert Smirke and the foundation stone was laid in 1817. However, in 1820 it ran out of construction funds and therefore remained unfinished until 18 June 1861 when it was opened to the public. There were also plans for a statue of Wellesley on horseback but the shortage of funds ruled that out.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= 1861 – Wellington Monument, Phoenix Park, Dublin )
