About St Louis
St Louis is a Mississippi River city in Missouri, with the Gateway Arch, a vast urban park, Italian neighbourhoods and a blues and baseball tradition.
St Louis stands on the west bank of the Mississippi River, just below where the Missouri joins it, and was long known as the Gateway to the West. The Gateway Arch, a stainless-steel curve 192 metres high, designed by Eero Saarinen and finished in 1965, is the tallest arch in the world, and the Old Courthouse beside it was the setting of the Dred Scott case. The Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis is lined with millions of glass tiles forming vast mosaics.
