The Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri, is an iconic monument that stands as a symbol of the westward expansion of the United States. Completed in 1965, the stainless steel structure rises 630 feet, making it the tallest arch in the world and the tallest man-made monument in the Western Hemisphere. Designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen, the arch is part of the Gateway Arch National Park and attracts millions of visitors each year. Visitors can take a tram ride to the top for a panoramic view of the city and the Mississippi River.
