Washington National Cathedral

Washington National Cathedral is the sixth largest Gothic cathedral in the world. It was completed in 1990, after 80 years of construction. The cathedral was financed entirely through donations. The tomb of Woodrow Wilson, the only president buried in D.C., is inside the cathedral.
