US places to see before you die: PHILADELPHIA CITY HALL, PENNSYLVANIA A 37-foot bronze statue of William Penn gazes at the patriotic streets of Philadelphia from the top of this stately, imposing building—which was Phillys tallest until 1987. 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. The largest city hall in the country and tallest masonry-bearing building in the world, this is an icon of American fortitude you cant miss. Insider Tip: Attend one of the frequently heated City Council meetings, held each Thursday at 10 am.
