The dome and colonnades of this emblematic building in the Mall pay tribute to the 3rd President of the History of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, whose impressive statue stands under the dome. This memorial is Roosevelt's initiative. His architect, John Russell Pope, wanted to pay tribute to the taste of Jefferson for Roman architecture and palladian (those who visited his home of Virginie in Virginia), drawing on the Pantheon of Rome. Between late March and mid-April, the memorial emerges from the trees of the 3 000 cherry trees of Japan in bloom, a gift made by Japan in 1912.

La première fois que j'y suis allée, j'ai adoré, la seconde fois, j'aime toujours autant. Un monument à la semblable à celui de Lincoln mais rond et Jefferson est représenté debout.

Un lieu incontournable qui m'a surpris de part sa taille, que je croyais beaucoup plus petit. Agréable pour se balader au bord du lac, et monter les quelques marches jusqu'à la statue intérieure.

Magnifique endroit sur le bord du bassin, très calme et serein. Monument grandiose comme la majorité des monuments de Washington.

A voir depuis l'autre côté du lac, la vue est superbe. A voir de nuit aussi. Et enfin, à voir de près. Le bâtiment est élégant et tout en contraste avec la statue sombre de Jefferson. Belle balade depuis le Memorial de Luther King via celui de Roosevelt.
The best at Washington, D.c. and around
