THE CABILDO
Erected in 1795 as the seat of the Spanish
Government for the Province of Louisiana. 6
Now one of the best historical museums in
the U. S. The gates at the entrance were
presented to Louisiana by the Spanish Govern-
ment and are said to have been made from
the iron instruments of torture used in the
inquisition days of Spain. On purchase by
U. S. the Spanish Coat of Arms over the
doorway was replaced by the thirteen stars
of the United States. The typical Spanish
Colonnade in front adds much to the beauty
of the building.
