Philadelphia, Pennsylvania’s largest city, is notable for its rich history, on display at the Liberty Bell, Independence Hall (where the Declaration of Independence and Constitution were signed) and other American Revolutionary sites. Also iconic are the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, immortalized by Sylvester Stallone’s triumphant run in the film Rocky.
Blessed with the glamour and culture of a big city, 'Philly' as it's affectionately known, also delights visitors with its rich history and small-town charm. By the late 19th century Philly had evolved into the 'Workshop of the World.' Its industries generated abundant wealth, which funded large construction projects, including City Hall and the Benjamin Franklin Pkwy, and filled cultural storehouses such as the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Penn Museum. Experiments in architecture and social policy resulted in buildings like Eastern State Penitentiary, while philanthropist Dr Albert C Barnes built up an astounding collection of art for public consumption. This spirit of civic pride and sharing continues in contemporary projects such as Isaiah Zagar's Philadelphia's Magic Gardens.
Declared a World Heritage City by Unesco in 2015, Philadelphia was at the heart of US colonial and revolutionary history. Founded by British Quaker William Penn in the late 17th century, the 'City of Brotherly Love' cherishes and protects its earliest days within the Independence National Historical Park of the Old City. Visiting original institutions such as Independence Hall and the seeing iconic landmarks like the Liberty Bell will help you appreciate the deep passion for freedom that motivated the new nation's founders. Excellent museums devoted to the Constitution, the American Revolution and Benjamin Franklin round out that education.
Philadelphia is home to many national historical sites that relate to the founding of the United States. Independence National Historical Park is the center of these historical landmarks being one of the country's 22 UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was signed, and the Liberty Bell are the city's most famous attractions. Other national historic sites include the homes of Edgar Allan Poe and Thaddeus Kosciuszko, early government buildings like the First and Second Banks of the United States, Fort Mifflin, and the Gloria Dei (Old Swedes') Church.
The city contains many art museums, such as the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Rodin Museum, which holds the largest collection of work by Auguste Rodin outside France. The city's major art museum, the Philadelphia Museum of Art, is one of the largest art museums in the world. The long flight of steps to the Art Museum's main entrance became famous after the film Rocky (1976).

Philadelphia City Hall Drone Video 2019
Built 1871-1901, this $24 million limestone, granite and marble structure is the government center to one of America's greatest cities. This building was the tallest in the world from 1894 to 1908 and is currently the largest municipal building in the United States. Its more than 22-feet thick walls surround the 700-rooms, which house the executive, legislative and judicial branches of the Philadelphia government. The clock on each face of the tower is 26-feet in diameter - that's larger than Big Ben (23 feet)! It's topped by the world's tallest statue on any building at 37-feet tall, and is 53,000 pounds. It's of the city's founder, William Penn. And that's just one of more than 250 statues that adorn the landmark inside and out. In the center of the building is a large, open courtyard called the Centre Square, which has held countless historic speeches and events. This incredible building became a a National Historic Landmark in 1976. You can take a look inside any week day and ride the 6-person elevator to the observation deck below The tower's statue.

SUBSCRIBE TO MY CHANNEL:
Built in the 1960s, this church use to be part of a school which later closed down in 2001. This chapel was called the Ulmer Memorial Chapel and it was built in dedication to George Lathrop Smith, Milton Ulmer, and Lillie Ulmer. It was used for sunday services, school events, and outside school services. I did pictures and video of this location back in Feb 2013 and I decided to redo the video for this old church. I was not a fan of how I did my older video with scary music, i didnt really keep the camera stable, etc. I really like seeing this place so I wanted to redo it. I can't change how I filmed this church, but i can change the stabilization of the video. Also I am editing it a little different. Enjoy and as always, like share comment.
Disclaimer: Exploring Abandoned Structures can be dangerous and you could be trespassing. You could get a fine, get hurt, get sick, and/or get arrested. Therefore I CAN NOT be held responsible for your actions if you do choose to enter an abandoned site. I am not providing this video to show people where and how to get to these places.

Smith’s Bridge Brandywine
Smith Bridge was built in 1839 as a covered, one-lane wooden span over the Brandywine just south of the Pennsylvania line. It was destroyed in 1961 when it was set on fire the night before Halloween in 1961 and the Delaware Department of Transportation rebuilt the bridge without a cover. Enjoy free parking at First State National Park lot just around the corner with a few nice trails to hike along.

[미국여행]필라델피아 여행 가이드-익스피디아
필라델피아는 미국 북동부, 뉴욕과 워싱턴 D.C. 사이에 자리해 있습니다. 펜실베이니아에 속한 이 도시는 인구가 150만 명이 넘고 미국에서 다섯 번째로 큰 도시입니다. 미국의 고향으로 여겨지는 필라델피아는 1776년 미국이 영국으로부터의 독립을 공식 선포한 독립선언서를 최초로 낭독한 곳이었습니다. 이 사건을 공표하기 위해 무게가 2,000파운드에 달하는 종을 사용했습니다. 리버티 벨 센터에서 관람할 수 있는 이 종은 이후 자유의 상징이 되었습니다. 필라델피아는 헌법의 발상지이기도 합니다.
#필라델피아가볼만한곳
#필라델피아여행
독립선언서 낭독 후 11년이 지나 길 건너편 주의회 의사당에서 헌법이 논의되었습니다. 이곳은 현재 인디펜던스 홀로 바뀌었고요. 미국 건국의 주역들이 이 구시가지를 주 무대로 활동해 이 지역의 많은 역사적 건물이 인디펜던스 국립역사공원 안에 보존되고 있습니다. 국립 헌법원에 가면 광란의 1920년대에 있던 금주법에 얽힌 흥미진진한 이야기를 들을 수 있습니다.
금주법에 대한 저항은 매우 격렬했을 뿐만 아니라 구금 처벌 건수가 많아 사법 제도에 혼란을 가져오기도 했습니다. 주류 밀매와 관련해 가장 악명 높았던 갱스터는 '스카페이스', 알 카포네일 것입니다. 그가 1929년에 처음으로 징역형을 살던 곳은 동부주립교도소였습니다. 이 악명 높은 마피아 두목은 교도소 안에서도 집처럼 편안하게 생활했던 것 같습니다. 음성 안내를 들으며 교도소를 둘러보다 보면 예전 그 시절로 돌아간 것처럼 느껴집니다.
과거의 이야기를 더 듣고 싶다면 아프리카계 미국인 박물관으로 향해 보세요. 이곳의 시청각 영사기와 공예 소장품은 아프리카계 미국인의 유산을 보존하는 데 목적을 두고 있습니다.
워싱턴 스퀘어 안에는 미국 독립 혁명 당시의 전사한 병사를 기리기 위한 무명 용사의 묘가 있습니다. 식민지 시절의 잔재는 아직도 도시 곳곳에 남아 있지만, 오늘날의 필라델피아는 미술/쇼핑/문화로 가득한 현대적인 도시입니다.
현지인들처럼 자전거나 대중교통을 이용해 도시를 여행하거나, 관광버스에 몸을 실어 보세요. 페어마운트 공원은 모두를 위한 공간입니다. 산책하기 좋은 이곳에는 건축학적 보물이 많이 전시되어 있습니다. 벤자민 프랭클린 파크웨이에서 야외 미술품을 관람하거나, 미국 남북전쟁 당시의 영웅을 기리기 위한 스미스 기념문(Smith Memorial Arch)을 둘러보세요.
필라델피아 미술관 계단 위에 서서 영화 '록키'의 주인공처럼 포즈도 취해 보세요. 언덕 위에 자리 잡은 이 신고전주의 건물은 미국에서 규모가 크기로 손꼽히는 곳입니다. 200개가 넘는 테마 갤러리에는 그림, 조각품 등이 230,000여 점이나 전시되어 있습니다.
플리즈 터치 박물관은 아이들을 위한 공간입니다. 걸음마를 갓 시작한 아이들도 이 체험식 박물관에서는 아무런 간섭 없이 즐겁게 보낼 수 있습니다. 환상의 세계에 빠져보고 싶은 마음은 누구에게나 있으니까요. 이 박물관의 체험식 전시회는 교육적이면서도 재미있습니다. 로건 광장의 자연과학 아카데미도 아이들이 큰 깨달음을 얻을 수 있는 곳입니다.
북극에 살고 있는 다양한 동물종이 전시되어 있을 뿐만 아니라 살아 숨 쉬는 동물을 쓰다듬어 볼 수도 있습니다. 더 많은 동물을 만나 보고 싶다면 강 건너편의 필라델피아 동물원을 방문해 보세요. 미국에서 가장 오래된 이 동물원에서 원숭이를 흉내내 보고 거대한 새와 야생동물도 관람할 수 있습니다. 현지 음식을 맛보고 싶다면 곧장 레딩 터미널 마켓으로 향해 보시기 바랍니다. 현지인들이 치즈 스테이크를 왜 그리 좋아하는지 알아보고, 다채로운 노점에서 맛난 먹거리를 골라 보세요. 더 다양한 음식을 구경하고 싶다면 9번가에 있는 필라델피아 이탤리언 마켓에 가 보세요. 이 지역의 이탈리아인 지역 사회는 1880년대에 형성되었습니다.
고급 음식과 유기농 제품에 대한 이들의 사랑은 지금도 계속되고 있습니다. 필라델피아 봄, 가을의 날씨는 몹시 온화합니다. 이 화려한 계절에 도시의 가장 아름다운 모습을 볼 수 있지만, 필라델피아는 365일 멋진 자태를 뽐냅니다. 원하는 언제든 필라델피아로 오세요. 이 도시가 왜 미국인들의 큰 사랑을 받는지 곧 알게 되실 겁니다.
