I wasn’t really in a good location for exterior shots last month so found a few from our first visit to the basilica in 2007.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception is the largest Catholic church in the United States and in North America and the tallest habitable building in Washington, D.C. The foundation stone was laid in 1920, and the mosaic adornment of final dome was completed in 2017.
