Albert Memorial Located opposite the Royal Albert Hall, it is the greatest Gothic building of the nineteenth century. The monument is set with a 15-inch bronze statue engraved with the gesture of Prince Albert (Queen Victoria's husband) reading the 1851 exposition catalog intoxicatedly. Mark Twain once said: "Of all the noble and beautiful lands, the only piece I have touched is a work full of genius and harmony, the Albert Monument."
The impressive riding statue, which sits in the heart of Charlotte Square Garden, was carved by Sir John Sterling in honour of Prince Albert, and three lower sets of figures were designed and carved by different artists.
