One of the most recognizable land marks in the St. Louis is the Arch. The Arch was completed in 1985 with the final middle peace being placed. Visitors are allowed to take a short elevator ride to the top. Once at the top you can see the entire city and you can also look over the Mississippi River into Illinois. After going up into the arch you can take a short walk down to see the graffiti wall. This series of walls displays the work of anyone who likes to graffiti.
