It must be really impressive.
I've chosen a French monument.
Guernsey issued a colorful set of stamps the same year, I don't think they featured the monument.

You can see it for quite a distance. Also, you can get an excellent view from there.
I have nothing as impressive as this. And finished up in the Mediterranean -https://bit.ly/3dr2h45
Had to convert the feet into metres to get an idea... impressive indeed! Never heard of that guy, but that is what I love about stamps, you get to learn so many new things :)
