Tens of millions of people have marveled at the breathtaking sights they have be-held from its two observatories.

Actually, on clear days visitors can see the surrounding countryside for distances of up to 80 miles.

【B4】______The marble came from Italy, France, Belgium and Germany. Experts combed these countries to obtain the most beautiful marble and, in one case, removed the contents of an entire quarry to ensure the right color and graining.
【B5】______either in white or an appropriate color scheme to mark special events in the city.

The incomparable night view from the top of the Empire State Building is a fantasy of lights and stars sparkling and dancing against a panoramic background of darkness.
