Colonial Annapolis Historic District

The Colonial Annapolis Historic District contains 120 original buildings from the 18th century, arranged along circular streets radiating from the State House and St. Anne's Church.

Francis Nicholson designed this planned colonial city in 1695, establishing State Circle and Church Circle as focal points for government and religious institutions.

The Maryland Hall for Creative Arts supports multiple resident companies including ballet, symphony, opera, and chorale performances throughout the year.

Guided tours of the district start at Main Street, leading visitors through historic buildings, many of which remain open to the public.

The Maryland State House, located within the district, holds the distinction of being the oldest state capitol building in continuous legislative use in the United States.
