Here we find the memorial of George Washington and an unknown soldier. The love symbol in the Love Park has become a common symbol for the 'City of Brotherly Love'. But if you want to refresh yourself and rediscover your beauty then step forward to Salon L'Etoile. The Rittenhouse Square is the place for modern beguilement. This park is mostly crowded by skaters, sunbathers and dog walkers. The Memorial Hall, the central facility for the United States' Centennial celebration, is another important place for sightseeing in Philadelphia.
