Founded between 1914 and 1922 in tribute to President Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), this memorial is the work of Daniel Chester French, who inspired him to build the Doric Greek temples. Wall paintings in the interior are signed by Jules Guerin. The magnificent white monument houses a huge statue of Lincoln seated (6 metres high). It was on these steps that Martin Luther King gave his famous speech «I have dream» on August 28, 1963 (you can see a small note on the exact location where the latter was held). This is one of the most recognizable points in the federal capital, and it is also where many people in Washington come to admire the sunset, the Lincoln Memorial Pool of Lincoln Memorial, to admire the Washington Monument mordoré and its perfect reflection in the water mirror. The place is worth more than a glance: it is the whole soul of the city that is gathered here!

Impressionnant
La vue du Mall du haut des marches est vraiment impressionnante ainsi que la statue de Lincoln. C'est un incontournable.

Aussi impressionnant qu'indispensable
Washington DC est une ville d'histoire où les monuments sont nombreux et grandioses. Le Lincoln Memorial ne fait pas exception, que du contraire et la foule est nombreuse pour ce rendre dans ce lieu mythique qu'on a pu voir tant de fois dans des films. La bâtiment, inspiré du Parthénon est majestueux et la statue d'Abraham Lincoln est époustouflante. On ne peut que se sentir petit devant ce grand homme. Mais ce n'est pas tout : retournez-vous et admirer la reflecting pool et plus loin le Washington Monument et, en se décalant un peu, le Capitole

Voir Lincoln qui veille sur le Mall et qui a en point de mire le Washington Monument et le Palais des congrès représente les fondements de la constitution américaine. Que de films défilent devant nos yeux quand on est sur les marches de ce mémorial!!!!
