Cities: Skylines is a classic city-building game that continually gains new fans thanks to its remaster. It’s a great way to pass the time or stretch your creative skills to new levels. If you want to get the best resources for your city, then you need the buildings that are the most difficult to obtain: Monuments. In Cities: Skylines, once you unlock Monuments, you will notice just how much they improve your needs. We’ll show you everything you need to get all 8 Monuments.

As we mentioned, Monuments are the highest you can get in terms of helping your city’s needs and resources. They can replace many buildings. However, they are not the easiest to access.
