Near the Library of Congress and the Capitol is the building of the famous US Supreme Court, in 1935 by the architect K. Gilbert

From the very beginning of its existence the court wandered from city to city, as the US capital was repeatedly postponed after the declaration of the country's independence. For a time, he was stationed in the Capitol, but due to the increase in the number of members of the House of Representatives and the Senate, Congress gave the go-ahead for the construction of a separate building for the Supreme Court.

Both inside and outside the justice house is marbled from different states and states . The authorities did not stint on high-quality material - the construction cost him $ 10 million.

On the first floor there is an exhibition hall where you can see the attire of judges from different countries, a souvenir shop and a cozy cafe. On the second floor there is the stunningly beautiful Great Hall, the Bureau of Judges and the Conference Room. The third - the attorney's office and the Bureau of the Ministry of Justice. And on the fourth - a large library of the Supreme Court. In the Great Hall you can enjoy the marvelous colonnade and busts of ancient legislators and rulers that influenced the formation of the judiciary, as well as the American President of the Court

conference room interior impresses with its rich luxury:. Gold moldings, heavy curtains of red velvet, and stately Doric columns , which give the room sophistication. On certain days (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday) you may be lucky to attend the court session, and at other times you will be waiting for an exciting half-hour film and accompanying story about the architecture of the building and the work of the highest court of the United States.

Walking through the Supreme Court building , do not ignore allegorical sculptures embodying Justice and the Law.
