Artwork in the National Shrine

For all the political press Washington gets, it’s a little known fact that our city is also one of America’s great centers for religion. Within the District’s boundaries lay the sixth largest Christian church in the world, the largest Catholic church in America, the foremost Islamic mosque in the United States, and many other interesting and unique houses of worship. Regardless of ones religious affiliation, these buildings count themselves among our most beautiful architectural landmarks. BeyondDC surveys many in a new feature: Houses of God.

Unrelated Note: We’ve tweaked the home page a bit and will be continuing to make minor changes in the near future. Nothing major, just some virtual housecleaning.
