So, what’s the Pennsylvania destination that made the cut? Philadelphia City Hall. It’s No. 19 on the list. “It took nearly 30 years to construct this architecturally stunning municipal building,” Fodor’s says in the article. “When Philadelphia City Hall opened in 1901, the 37-foot-tall bronze statue of William Penn on top made it the tallest building in America. Other buildings have since risen higher, but the city hall remains the largest municipal building in the nation, with more than 14.5 acres. City Hall stands at the geographic center of what is perhaps the city most steeped in American history, a monolith of democracy and locus of municipal and state government, and is an icon of American fortitude you can’t miss.” Find the full list of all 25 great spots to visit in the U.S here.
