The Monument to the Great Fire of London, designed by Sir Christopher Wren and completed in 1677, features several inscriptions. The most prominent is a Latin inscription on the pedestal, which commemorates the Great Fire itself. It reads:
“Londini, AD 1666, Incendia, quod clementer, Cessat, pulchra, omnibus, exstincta, sed: In exordio, Templum redintegravit.”
This translates to:
"In London, in the year 1666, the fire, which destroyed so much, was brought to an end by divine grace, but it also led to the restoration of the beautiful temple."
Additionally, there are inscriptions detailing the distance from the monument to the site where the fire started, and on the west side, an inscription by Sir Christopher Wren:
“This pillar was erected as a memorial of the great fire of London, which began in the year 1666, in Pudding Lane, and consumed the city.”
These inscriptions serve to commemorate both the tragedy of the fire and the resilience of London in rebuilding thereafter.
