In the state of Texas, the famous city of Dallas stretches on both sides of the Trinity River, where three tributaries flow into it. At first it was famous as a center of cotton production, then as a center of oil production, and since November 22, 1963, as the place where the life of the 35th President of America John F. Kennedy was cut short. The place in the central part of the city, where the tragedy occurred, today has become a center of pilgrimage of tourists. The obligatory part of the excursion program is Dealey Plaza from where bullets were fired from the sixth floor level. There is also The Sixth Floor Museum, the exhibits of which tell about Kennedy's life and his death. Nearby is the Kennedy Memorial, the entrance to which is open 24 hours a day.
Fans of panoramic views climb to the 50th floor of the Reunion Tower, which has stood on the west side of downtown for more than 20 years. Connoisseurs of religious buildings visit the Cathedral of St. Mary of Guadalupe. This Gothic building was erected in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by an unknown architect. Around the same period belongs to the courthouse, built in Romanesque style of blue granite and red sandstone. The building is listed in the National Register of Historical Monuments.
Another iconic site is Pioneer Square, where there is a sculptural group of 70 life-size bronze cows, bulls and three cowboys.
Dallas
Cowboys, tornadoes and two bullets for Kennedy.
Dallas has no angelic fame. Bonnie and Clyde lived and conducted their criminal activities here, and the 35th president of America, John F. Kennedy, was assassinated. Even the weather in the city is characterized by harshness: in summer there is extreme heat, in spring rains turn into floods, hard winds into tornadoes. But, apparently, this is what attracts tourists to the city.
