Referred to as "the round house", the New Mexico State Capitol, located in Santa Fe,
is the only round Capitol building in the United States. The four story structure, with
one story underground, serves as the state's seat of government.
Visitors to Santa Fe might be surprised to learn that the New Mexico State Capitol holds
one of the most impressive art collections in the state, free for public viewing. The
State Legislature created the Capitol Art Foundation, in 1991, to acquire historical
art detailing the rich heritage of New Mexico. Completed in 1966, the current Capitol building
is the fourth for New Mexico. The first, the Palace of the Governors, built in 1610, still
stands in Santa Fe as the oldest State Capitol building in the U.S.
When in Santa Fe, be sure to visit the New Mexico State Capitol.
