Visitors can see its bronze cladding, made from cannons captured in the battle, decorated with bas-reliefs depicting scenes of war. At the top of the column stands a statue of Napoleon dressed as a Roman general, sculpted by Auguste Dumont. Inside the column there is a staircase leading to a small viewing platform at the top.
