World Athletes Monument
The World Athletes Monument, more commonly known as the Prince Charles Monument or Prince of Wales Monument, is a monument located in Atlanta, Georgia, United States. The monument, dedicated to the 1996 Summer Olympics, is a gift from HRH the Prince of Wales in honor of the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games. The monument is located on Peachtree Street, at Pershing Point, in Midtown Atlanta. The monument has had an astounding impact on the surrounding underutilized land, and has become a regional cultural landmark and place to celebrate national and international events.

The statue is carved in Indiana limestone topped by bronze statues, and stands 55 feet tall. It has a conical base circled by five stone bands which have two aedicules on the Peachtree Street axis, within which are plaques honoring the patrons who built the building. Above the base is a tholos circled by five Doric columns, representing the five continents, which support five bronze Atlases who together carry a globe. A cauldron is within the tholos and emits a fire evoking the Olympic torch. Taking advantage of the avenue being straight for a number of blocks, which is unusual in Atlanta, the monument was intentionally aligned with the tower of the 19th-century Gothic Peachtree Christian Church a few blocks away, creating a visionary ensemble of urban planning.〔(Atlanta City Guide ), - wikimapia.org〕〔(Column ), - projo.com〕〔( Statue ), - dallas-hiram.path.com〕〔(Construction ), - newsouthconstruction.com〕〔(Paper ), - atlantaintownpaper.com〕〔(David Brussat ), - projo.com〕〔(Monuments ), - traveltips.usatoday.com〕〔=(Progeny ), - news.beloblog.com〕 〔(Athens ), - newyorker.com〕〔()〕〔(York Times|newspaper=The New York Times )〕〔()〕〔(Times|newspaper=The Financial Times of London )〕
