The Pilgrim Monument of Provincetown, Massachusetts was built between 1907 and 1910 to commemorate the first landfall of the Pilgrims in 1620 and the signing in Provincetown Harbor of the Mayflower Compact.

It was designed by Willard T. Sears after the Torre del Mangia in Siena, Italy.

This 252 foot tall campanile is part of the Provincetown historic district.
