Salt Lake City is the capital and the most populous city in the American state of Utah. The name of the city is often abbreviated to Salt Lake or SLC. Salt Lake City is located on the banks of the Great Salt Lake, from which comes the name of the city (the name of the lake is Great Salt Lake).

The city was founded in 1847 in Great Salt Lake City by a group of Mormon pioneers led by its prophet, Brigham Young, who fled the hostility and violence of the Midwest. Today, Salt Lake City is home to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. According to government data, currently 78% of the city's population is adherents of the Mormon religion, being 60% in the state of Utah.

Streets, temples, attractions, cinemas, references, work, practically everything in Salt Lake refers to Mormons. Salt Lake is a beautiful place, clean, and that knows how to receive its visitors very well.

Dominating the entire city, on top of a hill is the State Capitol building (state congress), just behind the statue of the Indian chief Massasoit, there placed to pay homage to the first inhabitants of the state.
