Providence: More Than Just Bostonās Backyard
š§Located on Providence River within Narragansett Bay, an inlet of the Atlantic Ocean, Providence is the capital and most populous city of Rhode Island. š§The Rhode Island State House is not only a masterpiece of architectural art but also awe-inspiring for its glittering dome and magnificent design. Its self-supporting marble dome ranks as the fourth largest of its kind in the world. š„The Providence Athenaeum has served as a hall of knowledge and a center of cultural exchange since 1838. š„The renowned writer Edgar Allan Poe was a frequent visitor, often losing himself among its vast collection of books. ā Providence boasts a highly developed education sector, home to prestigious institutions such as Brown University, Johnson & Wales University, the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), Rhode Island College, and Providence College. ā Founded in 1764, Brown University is the seventh oldest university in the United States. On summer evenings, attending Providenceās WaterFire is an unmissable visual spectacle. #USA #RhodeIsland #Providence
