Cathedral in Washington
at the intersection of Massachusetts and Wisconsin Avenue in northwestern Washington, USA
Description:
The Cathedral in Washington is the main cathedral of the Anglican Church of America. Despite the distinct neo-Gothic appearance, the temple is very young - its construction was completed in 1990. True, the cathedral was built for a long 83 years. The building of light sandstone is monumental and majestic, in size the cathedral is one of the ten largest neo-Gothic cathedrals in the world.
The temple is huge and its interior is also designed in a strict neo-Gothic style. Inside it is decorated with more than 200 windows with a variety of mosaics. The fact that the temple is modern resembles a very popular “space window” dedicated to the landing of a man on the moon. There are also 10 very different chapels.
A good American tradition is that the newly elected presidents of the country visit the cathedral immediately after taking office, that is, after the inauguration. Many famous Americans are also buried here.
