Atlanta is the capital of the State of Georgia, which is located on the southeast coast of the United States of America. The city of Atlanta has a lot to offer to its visitors' thanks to its historical and cultural background. So let's

1) The Historical patrimony:
Martin Luther King, Jr was born in Atlanta in 1929. During the 1960s, he had a massive impact on the American civil rights movements, which fought against segregation. The National Historic Site allows visiting the house of
Martin Luther King, Jr and the Ebenezer Baptist Church where he was baptized. His memorial is also located at the church.
Atlanta's history is shown through the exhibitions of the Atlanta History Center. It is a place where you will learn a lot more about the Civil war from 1861 to 1865. Do not miss the panoramic painting of The Battle of Atlanta
cyclorama from 1884. This battle was in the famous movie Gone with the Wind in 1939.
2) The Cultural aspect
Margaret Mitchell was the writer of the novel Gone with the Wind in 1936, for which she received the Pulitzer Prize the following year. As in the case of Martin Luther King, it is possible to visit Mitchell's house in Peachtree
Street.

special exhibitions.

As New York City, Atlanta is filled with buildings. However, like in New York City, Atlanta has its equivalent of Central Park, which is called Piedmont Park. The park is 40 acres big and allows you to visit the
Botanical Garden, in which stays Ice Goddess. Moreover, the park enables many activities: history tours, gardening classes, summer camp, and more.
