Springfield, the capital of the U.S. state of Illinois, is located in the center of the state and is a city that carries a deep historical heritage. As the political starting point of Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, it is the place where he lived, practiced and finally rested, and attractions such as the Lincoln Home National Historic Site and the Lincoln Cemetery draw visitors from around the globe. As the seat of state government, Springfield has government services as its core economic pillar, while healthcare, agriculture and insurance also play an important role. The city retains its 19th-century architecture, with landmarks such as the state capitol building highlighting its stately history, and events such as the annual Lincoln Festival continue to honor the great man, making it a fascinating blend of historical memory and modern development.
