monumentalized
Cast in stone
Monumentalized means made into or treated as a monument—given permanent, imposing, or commemorative form.
Architecture or public spaces become monumentalized when designed to impress or memorialize: The civic plaza was monumentalized with marble columns and bronze statues.
The term often carries critical undertones, suggesting something has been made overly grand or self-important: The regime monumentalized its leader through massive portraits and renamed streets.
