Minnesota State Capitol, State Capitol building in Saint Paul, United States.

The Minnesota State Capitol features white Georgia marble walls, a prominent dome rising 245 feet, and Renaissance Revival architectural elements throughout its structure.

Architect Cass Gilbert completed this government building in 1905 to replace two previous capitols that had been destroyed by fires in the 19th century.

The interior spaces display numerous murals depicting Minnesota state history, military engagements, and patterns of regional development through detailed artwork.

Visitors can join guided tours of the legislative chambers, rotunda, and governor's reception room from Monday through Friday between 10 AM and 2 PM.

The self-supporting marble dome ranks as the second largest of its type in the world, following only Saint Peter's Basilica in Vatican City.
