Stock Exchange , constructed at the
beginning of the 20th century though of
classic
aspect,
and
the
Federal
Hall, constructed at the end of the 18th
century in Neogothic style.
The name of this street comes from the 17th
century, when it was constituting the north
limit of New Amsterdam, and where the
Dutches constructed, in 1652, one wall to
defend itself from the assaults, which it
was knocked down by the Britishers in
1699.
Nowadays, though the wall does not exist, the
name still lasts.

9. The design of the cathedral was trying to be that
of a great temple with two towers of more
than 100 meters of height that were raising
triumphant on the city, something that was
achieved during a little time. Nowadays the
cathedral presents a humbler aspect if we
compare it with the investor Rockefeller
Center, placed opposite her.
San Patrick's Cathedral is made in white
marble, with the overloaded typical aspect of
the Neogothic style. This is something that
turns it into a very special building, especially
if we compare it with the quadrangular
buildings that surround it.
Once inside it, it is worth emphasizing the
enormous organs composed by 3.920 and
5.918 pipes, and the sculpture of The Pietà is
three times bigger than that of Michelangelo
placed in Saint Peter’s Basilica, in the Vatican.
