Bald Knob Cross
Bald Knob Cross, completed in 1963, is a large white cross located in Alto Pass, Illinois. The structure is 111 feet (34 m) tall and is visible, when lit at night, over an area of 7,500 square miles (19,000 km). The base of the cross is made of Illinois marble and the upper portion is covered by reinforced steel porcelain panels. The cross can withstand winds of up to 150 miles per hour (240 km/h). It is hollow, and visitors were originally able to go to the top.
