The great Obelisk
The monument to Washington normally makes reference to the great Obelisk located in the extreme west of the National Mall of Washington Dc. It is a memorial to the first President of the United States and leading monument of the Continental  army, George Washington, revolutionary who won the independence of the country fighting against the British in the war of independence. In 1884, the monument is developed in the structure more high of the world, until is built it in 1889 of the Tower Eiffel.

Its construction
The monument is made of marble, granite, sandstone and has a height of nearly 170 m. Was designed by Robert Mills, a prominent architect American of the Decade of 1840. It construction began in 1848 and was completed in 1884 almost 30years after the death of the architect. This delay is due to the lack of funds originated by the Guerra Civil American. The difference in the type of marble (visible approximately from a height of 50 meters) defines the initial construction of the second phase of construction.

Meet the animals

Smithsonian National Zoo Giant Panda
Evan Thornton.
The resident headline makers are the endangered giant pandas, who attract many of the park’s 2 million annual visitors. Adults Tian Tian and Mei Xiang, along with baby girl Bao Bao recently welcomed a fourth member to their brood, a male cub named Bei Bei. The National Zoo is a leader in giant panda conservation and has been working with China to study, breed and care for these black-and-white beauties since 1972. The giant panda habitat always draws a crowd (and you can watch the playful panda cubs on the Panda Cam here)!
Of course, there are animals and habitats to explore beyond Bao Bao and Bei Bei (though it can be hard to walk away from those cute cubs!). You’ll find animals from all over the world in various exhibits like the Elephant Trails, Reptile Discovery Center, Cheetah Conservation Station and Amazonia. Refer to the zoo map for specifics.
