    The Lincoln was built to honor Abraham Lincoln. He was the 16th president, assassinated on April 14, 1865 as the civil war was concluding. Martin Luther King Jr. gave his famous "I Have a Dream" speech here on August 28, 1963.

      The Lincoln Memorial is a memorial to Abraham Lincoln, built between 1915 and 1922. It has a very impressive charisma, which interestingly seems to be transferred to the visitors. Many people admire the monument in awe. Lincoln's inaugural speech is on the walls.

          The Lincoln Memorial is a monument built between 1915 and 1922 in honor of Abraham Lincoln. He was the 16th president, assassinated in a theater in Washington on April 14, 1865, near the end of the Civil War.
          Unfortunately, construction work was taking place on the stairs during our visit.

            The question of the abolition of slavery was not so clear-cut with Abraham Lincoln, because of course he did not want to lose the southern states. It is worth studying the history of the Civil War in more detail.

              How can you visit the mall without having been there? Not only because of the monument, but also because of the wonderful view of the obelisk and the capitol in the background. Recommended for every time of the day and season.

                Great Place to visit especially during sunset although it is always crowded

                      The Lincoln Memorial is a neoclassical monument in Washington, D.C., built to honor Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States. It stands at the western end of the National Mall, opposite the Washington Monument.
                      The design is inspired by the Parthenon in Athens, with 36 Doric columns representing the states existing at the time of Lincoln's death. Inside stands an imposing marble statue of Lincoln, seated and thoughtful, created by sculptor Daniel Chester French.
