Spend some time exploring the architectural wonder of the Washington National Cathedral, or stop in for a worship service in this massive cathedral. While guided tours are available, many of the cathedral's 700,000 annual adventure enjoy the self-guided tour as they try to locate the 112 gargoyles - including one that has the face of Darth Vader! The ten story tall cathedral is the second largest in the United States and the sixth largest in the world, and features a center tower that is as tall as a thirty-story building.
In addition to the gargoyles, visitors can spot more than 285 angels playing various instruments over the two west towers, 215 stained glass windows, two bronze bells in the central tower, a fifty-three bell carillon and a set of English peal bells. Take the time to explore all of the fascinating wonders at this incredible man-made structure that was constructed over seven decades and funded by private donations!
