Stunning state capitol building |
75 Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. Minneapolis, MN 55155 +1 651 296 2881 http://www.mnhs.org/places/sites/msc/ |
The State Capitol, considered by many to be the nation's most beautiful, is a spectacular structure designed by local architect Cass Gilbert. Opened in 1905, it took six years to build and cost $4 million. The building, modeled after St. Peter's in Rome, features a stunning, unsupported 220-foot marble dome and an extravagantly detailed interior. Built on a hill overlooking St. Paul, the top of the front steps yields a breathtaking view of downtown. Free tours are given on the hour with the last tour starting one hour before closing.
