• Elks National Memorial: The Elks National Memorial was built to honour the sacrifice of the dead people of World War I. The national memorial was designed by the American architect Egerton Swartwout. Swartwout utilised his Beaux-Arts skill passionately to design the architecture of this monument. One of the magnificent features of this place is the rotunda, which is decorated with colourful marble from Greece, Belgium, France, and more countries. You can find the four heroic figures within this rotunda. They symbolise the four cardinal virtues of Elks - brotherly love, justice, charity, and fidelity.

• Cloud Gate: Cloud Gate is an iconic structure in Chicago, fondly called 'The Bean'. It is located in Millennium Park and is made of stainless steel welded together in a way that you will not find any visible seams.
