CHURCHES and CEMETERIES

  • Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception (beautiful church and grounds)
  • Rock Creek Cemetery (park-like setting has many notable mausoleums and tombstones)
  • National Cathedral (great view from top)
  • Franciscan Monastery (with its arched walkways, 15 miniature outdoor chapels and well-kept garden, the monastery offers a meditative oasis in the city)
  • Congressional Cemetery
  • Washington D.C. LDS Temple (Huge light display at Christmas time and a large display of nativities from around the world. Temple is closed to the public but there is a nice Visitor Center where they frequently have free concerts in the evening.)
  • Christ Church in Old Town Alexandria
