New Mexico State Capitol
Additional Details:
| Here the old meets the new, and Indian, Spanish, and Anglo-American cultures merge in one of America's most picturesque and historic regions. Santa Fe, for example, has the nation's oldest capitol (the Palace of Governors, built in 1609) and the newest capitol. Yet Santa Fe was not the first capital. Ruins of an older one are across from San Juan Pueblo near Espanola. This view shows the new round capitol building - built in the shape of "ZIA" - the Indian Sun Symbol. |
