The Soldiers and Sailors Monument is the physical and spiritual heart of Indianapolis. But in a city where so much was planned, this was not what was supposed to go on the site at all.

Soldiers and Sailors Monument

This is a self-guided architectural walking or biking tour from Walk Indianapolis. It includes many of the key major civic buildings, monuments, and memorials downtown.  Indianapolis devotes more acreage than any other U.S. city to honoring our nation’s fallen, and is second only to Washington, DC, in the number of war memorials. This tour takes you from Monument Circle north to explore these impressive structures that pay homage to those who fought for our freedom.  You'll also see buildings like the Indiana State House, the Indiana Theater and Christ Church Cathedral. All of these with information given by one of the city's leading architects. A map and more information are available at http://www.walkindianapolis.com/
