I assume you mean monuments on Earth.

The earth rotates on its axis, and revolves around the sun, so a point on the earth will never be "pointing" at the same thing in space.

Imagine if you stood in the street and pointed at the sun, then didn't move your finger. If you stayed there all day, eventually you wouldn't be pointing at the sun at all. That is because the Earth is rotating (though to us it looks like the sun is moving across the sky).

Why can't we point to an area in space and say That is where the big bang occurred if it indeed occurred in one fixed point in space?

The reason is simple: the Big Bang did NOT occur in one fixed point in space. Contrary to popular presentations, the initial expansion (NOT an explosion) of our Universe was not matter filling empty space, going from an area of high density outside to an area of low density. It was an expansion of space itself, not going "into" anything. Matter was simply taken along for the ride. Every point in our Universe has had the same level of expansion as every other point.
