\u3000When we went to Washington D.C. for sightseeing, I wanted to go to a place that was slightly different than the places we normally visit. Our family is not Christian, but this church is the largest Roman Catholic church in the United States, and anyone is free to enter as they please. If you are thinking “What is a church like?”, or if you are interested in seeing the architecture, this is a place in D.C. that you can visit easily within 30 minutes by car. In any case, the building, artwork, and decorations in the Basilica are impressive. We visited just after Christmas, there was a Christmas tree and other Christmas ornamentation throughout the church. \u3000After taking the first step inside the church you are enveloped in the solemn atmosphere, and even if you are not Christian it can give you the feeling of an unseen power. You can tell that it is a holy place. The Basilica has a total of 81 chapels within, making for a grand and spacious building. The artwork is breathtaking. \u3000My one regret was that I was not able to hear the pipe organs live. There was a massive pipe organ in the church, and I feel like you would be able to hear and feel its sounds down to your core. The parking lot is a little ways down hill from the church, but you are free to use it. If you are looking for a more detailed tour of the building, they do have guided tours every hour if you make a reservation. If you have the time, this is a great place to visit if you come to Washington D.C.
