words:
PHILADELPHIA is the second largest city on the East Coast of the USA, and the fifth
most populous city. It is located along the Delaware River.
The founder of Philadelphia was William Penn.
It has many places of interests. Tourists are mainly attracted by these sights:
The Liberty Bell (1) is a symbol of American independence. It is located in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. Formerly it was placed in the steeple (a small towner) of the building
which is now known as Independence Hall.
It was bought from a London firm in 1752. It originally cracked when rang after its arrival
in Philadelpia, and was repaired by local workmen twice. It cracked again while ringing
after the death of Chief Justice John Marshall in 1835.
People believe it was one of the bells rung to mark the reading of the Decleration of
Independence on July 4, 1776.
The building behind the building is the Independence Hall. It is situated on Chestnut
Street. It became the principal meeting place of the Second Continental Congress from
1775 to 1783. The building is part of the Independence National Historical Park and is
listed as a World Heritage Site.
On October 26, 1918, Tomas Masaryk proclaimed the independence of Czechoslovakia
on the steps of Independence Hall.
Independence Hall is pictured on the back of the US 100 dollar bill. The Assembly Room
is pictured on the reserve of the 2 dollar bill.

Besides being known for its architecture and collections, the Philadelphia Museum of Art
has in recent decades become known due to the role it played in the Rocky films – Rocky
(1976) and four of its five sequels, II, III, V and Rocky Balboa. Visitors to the museum are
often seen mimicking Rocky's famous run up the front steps, now known widely as the
"Rocky Steps"
