Washington National Cathedral

As a secular state, the United States still maintains extraordinary spiritual activities and cultural history. Americans still have strong religious beliefs and the proof that we can see directly is the existence of the Washington National Cathedral, also called the Episcopal Cathedral. As the 6th tallest cathedral building in the world and also the second largest in America, construction of the cathedral was completed in 1990. Tourists from various countries certainly love this attraction because its architecture is so classic and charming. Lovers of architectural and cultural arts as well as religious tourism can come directly to meditate in this cathedral. The National Cathedral (officially consecrated as the “Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul in Washington”) is one of the most important religious buildings in the United States: by its size, it is also the sixth most vast cathedral of the world (without counting therefore the basilicas Saint Peter of Rome and Our Lady of Peace of Yamoussoukro, which do not have the status of cathedral).
