Washington DC United States of America

Washington, D.C., officially known as the District of Columbia and often referred to as Washington, "the District", or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States. Situated along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast, the District is under the sole jurisdiction of the United States Congress and is therefore not part of any U.S. state. The White House, symbolically the country's most significant building, has been the residence and workplace of US Presidents for over 200 years. The Washington Monument, a prominent feature of the Washington DC skyline, is dedicated to the first US President, George Washington. Known worldwide and a notable neoclassical landmark, The Capitol is where the US Senate and House of Representatives convene. The National Cathedral is the most famous US cathedral. This stunning building has been the venue for numerous national memorial services. Among the country's most crucial institutions, the Supreme Court offers tours to learn about its history and operations. The Lincoln Memorial, dedicated to Abraham Lincoln, was completed in 1922 and is designed after Greek temples. The impressive Library of Congress is the world's largest library, housing approximately 90 million archival materials. The Jefferson Memorial, modeled after Rome's Pantheon, is dedicated to Thomas Jefferson, the third US President and one of the Founding Fathers. D.C. has shed its former image as a dull and dangerous city and now boasts shopping, dining, and nightlife worthy of a world-class metropolis. Visitors will find the city fresh, thrilling, and decidedly cosmopolitan and international.
