A city of southern efficiency and northern charm. This is what Kennedy mentioned about Washington.
The city of Washington DC (the abbreviation DC stands for District of Columbia) is the capital of the United States of America; is 50 km from the sea, and is located south of the state of Maryland, and north of the state of Virginia.
This city, architecturally, is oriented towards the neoclassical, Georgian, Gothic. Styles that characterize modern government buildings, and important city buildings.
Here the main government institutions of the United States (President, Congress, Supreme Court), many ministries and federal agencies, and some international organizations are based; among these, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the Organization of American States. The White House is the true symbol of all the United States of America!
Washington DC, since it was declared capital, was the city that forever changed the political life of the most powerful nation on earth.
