Embassy Residences in Washington DC

Also available in Spanish with the title: Embassy Houses in Washington DC

Perhaps no capital in the world can compete with Washington in terms of the beauty of the diplomatic headquarters accredited there. For the most part, the embassies in Washington have been based in lavish neoclassical-style mansions, built more than a century ago around Massachusetts Avenue by American families of great fortune and power. Others occupy striking modern headquarters, purpose-built on land with excellent locations.

The splendid images of Antonio Castañeda in this book lead us to the intimacy of these environments, where unique samples of the art of the respective country are also combined with the symbols of the nationality, to produce an atmosphere that transports the visitor to those distant or nearby ancestral lands represented there.
