One of the main features of L'Enfant's grand plan for Washington was a large central parkland. Today the two-mile-long Mall stretches west from the Capitol to the Potomac River. It wasn't always such a carefully manicured park, however: when the Capitol was built, it looked out across a muddy, bug-infested swamp and, by the 1870s, the south side was lined by meat-markets and warehouses and crisscrossed by railroad tracks.

In addition to numerous museums, it boasts a quartet of presidential monuments, along with the White House and the powerful Vietnam and Korean war veterans memorials
