Washington, DC
The United States is a federal union which is made up of 50 states and one independent district — the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia is the territory of the national capital of the USA, Washington, with its own laws and regulations. Washington, DC is situated on both banks of the Potomac River, between the two states, Maryland and Virginia. This place was chosen by the first American President George Washington, and the capital got the name of Washington after the name of its founder. Created at the close of the 18th century, Washington is amongst America’s most stately cities.
Washington is sometimes called ‘home office of the nation’. It is the place where the federal government works. The main historic landmarks are the White House, residence of every American President since John Adams, the Capitol, home to the Senate and House of Representatives, and the Supreme Court Building, a marble temple dedicated to the law. International organizations such as the Organization of American States and the World Bank are also based in Washington.
Cultural and tourist sites abound in Washington as well. The Smithsonian Institution is comprised of art, history and science museums, most of which are found on Independence Avenue and the Mall, a long park like area, planted with trees. The Mall is very broad and extends from the Capitol to the Potomac River. All the official buildings, museums and memorials are concentrated along the Mall.
The main landmark in the center of the Mall is the Washington Monument. It is just a simple obelisk, but from its top you can look round the whole District of Columbia. One of the most fascinating architectural monuments in the capital is the Memorial to the third US President, Thomas Jefferson. It is located by a circular lagoon, the Tidal Basin, surrounded by hundreds of Japanese cherry trees.
In spring, when the trees are covered with pink and white blossoms, one can enjoy a marvelous view of the memorial. The imposing Lincoln Memorial with its classic style of a Greek temple also appeals to lots of tourists.
No doubt that Washington is one of the most attractive cities in the USA, and more than 18 million tourists from all over the world visit it every year.
