MINNESOTA STATE CAPITOL
Read moreAfter four years of renovations costing $310 million, the Minnesota State Capitol reopened in August 2017. The history of Saint Paul as the capital of the state is strongly linked to this building, which houses the centre of the state government's activities, including the Governor's Reception Hall, the Senate Chamber, the Chamber of Deputies and the Supreme Court. Architect Cass Gilbert is the architect behind the Capitol. It took nine years to build this imposing building, which opened its doors in 1905. At 132 m high, the Capitol offers a beautiful view to those who are lucky enough to come in summer and who can then admire Daniel Chester and Edward Potter's sculpture more closely. This superb work covered in gold leaf is a tribute to Minnesota. The driver of the tank even bears a sign with the name of that state. Within the building are hidden the many symbols of Minnesota: the floor of the rotunda, among others, represents a star, referring to the North Star (which reminds us of Minnesota's belonging to the former French colony). If you would like to learn more about the history of the building and its function, there is only one thing left to do: take part in one of the free guided tours that are organised every day. From Monday to Saturday, the first visit takes place at 10 am and the second at 2 pm (times change between March and June). On Sundays, guided tours take place at 1pm and 3pm.
