The only Corinthian column in the world you can climb inside 

This monument was built in 1841 and stands over 94 ft high on Carrigadaggan Hill in County Wexford. Its design replicates Pompey’s Pillar in Alexandria, Egypt but is 10 feet higher. The monument was designed by the renowned architect, Thomas Cobden, whose other works include Carlow Cathedral and Ducketts Grove. It is the only internally accessible Corinthian column in the World and thus is a unique architectural landmark. It was built by General Robert Browne-Clayton of Carrigbyrne ‘supposedly’ in commemoration of his commanding officer Sir Ralph Abercrombie. Abercrombie fought alongside Clayton in 1801 against Napoleon in Egypt but later died of his wounds. The local name for this monument is ‘Browne’s Nonsense’ as rumor says that Browne actually built it in memory of his son, who he thought was killed in battle, but later turned up alive soon after the pillar’s completion. Only in Ireland!
