Architecture in Washington, D.C.
Washington, D.C. brings together an unusually wide range of architectural styles. The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, one of the largest churches in the country, rises in Byzantine-Romanesque forms, while the Cathedral of Saint Matthew the Apostle presents a quieter Renaissance-influenced interior. Arlington Memorial Bridge draws a measured, classical line across the Potomac toward Arlington House, the Greek Revival mansion overlooking the city. Elsewhere, the contemplative Adams Memorial, the Albert Einstein Memorial, Capitol Hill, Chain Bridge, the Church of the Epiphany, and Capital One Arena each reflect distinct periods and intentions in the built environment.
