Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Independence Hall is the building where both the United States Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were debated and adopted. It is the centerpiece of Independence National Historical Park.
Completed in 1753, the hall is a prime example of Georgian architecture. Its modest red brick facade and bell tower are iconic symbols of the colonial era.
Visitors can tour the Assembly Room, arranged as it was during the Constitutional Convention. The original inkstand used to sign the Declaration is often on display.
Independence Hall is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognized for its universal value. It stands as a testament to the ideals of freedom and democracy.
