In the United States, Roman architectural legacies are evident in the use of columns, domes, and arches in various buildings. Notable examples include the U.S. Capitol, which features a grand dome reminiscent of the Pantheon, and the Lincoln Memorial, which is designed in the style of a Greek temple, showcasing Roman influences. Additionally, neoclassical architecture, prevalent in government buildings and monuments, draws heavily from Roman designs, emphasizing symmetry and grandeur.
