New York Stock Exchange

The New York Stock Exchange is the largest stock exchange in the world. It is located on Wall Street, New York - a place that is (and always was) firmly connected with money.

The New York Stock Exchange was founded in 1792. It can be said that it was here where the Great Depression started on October 29, 1929 when the stock market collapsed. An urban legend connected to this event says that people were jumping out of the windows on Wall Street in order to commit suicide. In fact, there were only two suicides (by jumping out of the window) connected to the event on Wall Street in that period.

For safety reasons, you cannot get inside the building. But it is still a place worth visiting both for its historic value and for the aesthetic value of the building itself. The iconic statue called the "Charging Bull" is located nearby.
